      The majority of the time Hbo gets the better fights. Though showtime does have it's gems at time like Vasquez vs Marquez. And I love the hbo broadcasters, lampley is a good broadcaster. Biased at times, but that usually means he really likes the job he has. He is a boxing fan and a great broadcaster.

          HBO crew, especially Merchant. Steward, as a trainer, knows what he sees in the ring.

          Is Lampley still with HBO. Not really a fan, but i rather see him than Kellerman.

            HBO team is good. So is the Showtime crew, but I'd go with the HBO crew. Aside from the fact that HBO has the better fights, the HBO team has a great chemistry. (Speaking of Lampley/Stewart/Merchant) Lampley gives you the clean calls, play-by-play and starts the conversations. Though sometimes, biased. Stewart gives you the fighters perpective (was an AM fighter) and the trainers idea. (As he's a great trainer).. Merchant is the old-timer, looking for a good fight. And calls the fight like he sees it. Good team, overall.

              the Showtime guys are way more knowledgeable and that includes Manny Steward, who always says, "I knew the fight would go this way" although he never says so beforehand lol. Al Bernstein is the smartest man in the sport by far.
