Why did Fran Charles call Lewis/Tyson?

[jcarr71]

I've been going through Tyson's career and I completely forgot Lampley was MIA for that fight. Where was he? Did he get in trouble or something? Charles is so horrible.

I remember Lampley calling it with the Showtime guys. I think you might have a copy of the replay version with Merchant and Fran

Wait, was it co-covered by HBO and Showtime or something? Ah, why don't I remember this?

yea it was.

Lampley definetly called this fight. i clearly remember the line, "Lewis has KNOCKED OUT, MIKE TYSOOOOOON!!!!!!!"

[Mr. David]

Fight was called by Lampley and Bobby Czyz.

[ßringer]

Lampley called it, I'll always remember Lampley shouting "Lennox Lewis knocks out Mike Tyson! And banishes him from the Heavyweight realm!".

Okay, I have the HBO aired replay then. Thanks guys. It is weird that I don't remember the cooperation between the networks like that. Seems like it should have registered as a big deal.
