Lederman's Card

[Addison]

I disagree with Harold Lederman to the point I think the guy is part of a conspiracy, or on a different planet at times..

- Do you agree with Harold Lederman's scoring generally?

- What do you think of this guy?

[-Antonio-]

I agree with him most of the time actually. The last time I disagreed was the Barrera/JMM fight where he had Marco winning. I had JMM winning by a round or two.

I find myself agreeing with him about 80-90% of the time. I agree, I was off from him on the MAB/JMM card. And every once in a while we'll be far off on others. Usually I'm within a round or so of him. The thing I can't stand about him though is his annoying voice. I race to find the remote and the mute button when I hear Lampley throw the commentary Lederman's direction.

Like everyone else on HBO, he works for HBO.

i think he is generally better at it than the actual judges

Most of the time he's pretty good, but then he comes up with a score that seems way out of line, pretty well exclusively on the HBO backed fighter - obvious very close fights that he scores as shutouts for the HBO guys I've seen a number of times, & some pretty dubious wins that should of been losses to the HBO guys.

The Sky sports team I tend to agree with mostly - Jim Watt tends to be pretty well spot on most of the time.

I usually agree with Lederman on his scores, but sometimes he gives guy rounds and Im thinking to myself how did he give him that round, but for the most part I think he does a good job.

Agreed on all accounts. The Sky team is very good - at least in calling US fights, or any fight where they don't have a vested interest. I've heard them get overly excited for one of their own on more than a few occasions.

Harold's hit and miss, just like any other judge. Sometimes his cards are bizarre (esp. when it comes to Jermain Taylor) but for the most part it's not that bad. Yes, the JMM-MAB fight was a bad one. But a lot of times when his score is off, there's generally a wide disparity over the same fight on any given message board, which brings it right back to scoring being subjective.

LEDERMAN: "... in the 12th and final round. JIM!!!"

[GreatestIam]

haha no no Ledermen is wrong alot atleast the way he lets his views show, for example the Taylor fight 1 judge had it 117-107 or some **** and he said something along the lines of that judge couldnt judge a pig race, haha i thought Spinks actually did a good job maybe not 117-107 work but i can see certain people actually given him the fight.. Ledermen assumes his always right and well since the judges cant stick-up for themselves of course people will agree with the guy running the broadcast more
