Larry Merchant was tripping on Steve Smoger

[scap]

I thought Merchant was spot on with his bashing of Smoger-Miranda was out on his feet and you have the ref taking his weet ass time-Its not fair to Kelly Pavlik.

BTW-Lennox Lewis is the worst analyst I have ever seen, Foreman was bad yet is twice as good as Lennox.

It didn't really seem to matter. The end was in sight and Miranda actually did a smart move to by giving himself some more time. Pavlik didn't complain after the fight as well. Larry was probably right as well because it gave Miranda a chance when he was definitely out on his feet, but it didn't effect the outcome so now it's kind of a moot point. I love Larry though he says what's on his mind and doesn't care what it sounds like. You guys are right HBO should have on there til he dies in his seat. His little speech on "crunk" was hilarious before the Taylor/Spinks fight.

Smoger did everything he could. Miranda spit his mouthpiece out.

i dont like any of the hbo ppl. teddy atlas is the best hands down. and joe tessitore is a good like promo , cut to commercial guy, better then the arrested cracked out guy... but i do like max kellerman, and lennox lewis... and **** emmanual stewert, mad trainers know their ****, why should he be the only one to do commentairy... hbo is ****ED> i personally like friday night fights / wednesday night fights commentators and team much better.

hbo just is the best cuz the elite fighters and title fights. but ****, if atlas was on there, how much better would that be. i hate larry merchant. sure he knows his ****, but most the time he is talkin smack or ****in tryin to be funny n ****. teddy atlas giving boxing lessons during every fight he calls.

I agree on Atlas. Sean O Grady is better than Lamps to me. I can't stand the guy with no balls, I can't get over him abandoning his daughter at the Garden during Bowe-Golota. He is overrated scum imo.

yah i agree, he is a bum. the yshoulda fired him, but jus cuz he knows his **** they keep him.. a lot of ppl know their **** like that...

a lot of the british uk commentators are AMAZING. the guys on showtime are kinda wack... and i havent seen much more.. but yeah larry merchance, and that bum suck ass, when its those 2 and emmanual i go to sleep

i like lennox lewis tho, he knows his ****, he is respectful, and he only talks when he feels its needed. and when he has a good point to make.

max kelelrman isnt bad either, he knows his **** and makes great points, and also knows where to draw the respect/disrespect line.

but it seems like for the big fights its larry, bum , and emmanual, then for boxing after dark its max, lennox , and that new guy...

they just made the big cards WACK with the commentairy, maybe thats what suppossidly killing boxing, i personally think all that talk is bs anyways but haha prolly

I have always liked Max as well since his cable access days in NYC. Lampley should have been fired if Czyz was for DUIs. Lampley is much worse.

An early report out of Sasketchewan has the fight doctor Ferdie Pacheco taking Merchants place and not Kellerman who was widely reported as doing so.

Uneblievable news.

Dan Dierdorff was unstoppable as a commentator as well.
