HBO Bias in Rare form for DLH vs PBF

[-Antonio-]

Its a difference on paper yes, but during the fight I didnt see that much of a difference. Im not taking anything away from Floyd he did his thing.

I would say it isn't rare that HBO is biased.

Yeah the HBO cheerleaders were in rare form again. They were really tearing into Mayweather criticizing his opposition & for the way he was fighting but it didn't matter. While Mayweather was "throwing one punch at a time", DLH did mostly nothing himself chasing Mayweather around the ring & just standing in front of him not throwing punches. Much respect to Mayweather for standing his ground & fighting in the pocket for a good portion of the fight.

Oh, I know that but the commentating blow by blow is one thing the rare part was the fact they NEVER mentioned weight other than in the Tale of the Tape when they said DLH had a 4lb advantage. What HBO should've done is atleast make people aware that Oscar had at the very least a 12lb advantage but probably more like 20lbs. Saying that DLH had a 4lb advantage is an unsubjective lie.

HBO has always been extremely biased to certain fighters that is why I was happy to have been with a lot of people watching the fight. The crowd was able to drown out the commentating and made it a much more enjoyable fight than it would otherwise have been.

Oscar was slightly bigger. Mayweather's wieght for the fight gave him an advantage. At most they were separated by 7-8 pounds. Mayweather 150, Oscar 157. The size difference was a non-issue here. Mayweather is a solid Welterwieght with the ability to fight up. Just like Whitaker did when he beat Vasquez for the 154lbs title then dropped back down to Welter. Non-issue here, let it go.

same thing happened with the barrera fight

well HBO hated Floyd for quit awhile probably because of his ****ness and love hate releationship because i think in the Baldomir fight Floyd dissed Merchanct after Merchant trying to embarss him in some ways with his questions.

anyway in every fight he makes them eat up there words.

one thing Roy Jones once said at the Brussle fight that the only way to beat Floyd is for him to beat himself

lol, and Ive heard that some people on this site knew Oscar was going to be 'robbed' because the HBO crew were being 'cheerleaders' for Mayweather during the fight.

which one is it?

HBO bias is everywhere
maybe, just maybe, the crew isnt that biased, and just says what they really think...? : nah, **** no, couldnt be

hbo ****** for years, no news

the weight difference was probably between 10 and 15 pounds.

the size difference was evident in the ring watching the fight.

more than the commentators not talking about it, i was pissed off at the unofficial weight not being shown on the stats, while it was for the previous fights (at least for bautista-medina I am sure)

I loved when Merchant was saying the one punch at a time thing and while he was going into his rant about it Floyd lands a 5 punch combo and Larry.
