Jim Lampley = GOAT boxing Commentator

[2501]

"Wake me up when there's a fight" - Merchant

[NeXt In Line]

"Wake me up when there's a fight" - Merchant

Lol I remember him saying that during the Hopkins-Tarver bout, literally less than a minute before Hopkins knocked him down.

[brently1979]

I like his passion when he calls fights. I find him sometimes pretty funny as well.

[Slotff]

I like Jim Lampley, but he is so over the top. Gatti-Baldomir anyone?

"And Arturo Gatti is ruined! Absolutely ruined by a Baldomir left hook! OH MY GOD!"

It does get me excited though

[al caPWN]

When I'm on my deathbed and my life flashes before my eyes, I want it to be narrated by Jim Lampley.

[Thoth]

"Whitaker clowns around"... "Whitaker playing to the crowd"...

"ZOMG DE LA HOYA WITH AN AMAZING FLURRY!!!111!0eleventyone!111"

Yea, Lampley's ok, but that **** remains a ****ing travesty.

[-Hyperion-]

Lampley is the GOAT when its not an HBO's fighter fight....

[MojoHands]

Aside from Kellerman, those HBO bull**** artists haven't had a clue of what's going on in the ring since running Roy Jones off. Lampley and Merchant are the FOX news of boxing commentating. You all need to stop buying snake oil and demand better.

[jayfelice]

He definitely is one of the best announcers, thats why hbo kept him even after he beat the crap out of his ex-gf. He is just that good

[RightHandLead]

Lampley's okay, but so in HBO's pocket its unreal (look at his commentary on the Wright-Taylor bout)

He's also a major homer who will be most remembered for "we have a new heavyweight champion of the world... and he's an AMERICAN!!!!!"


Howard Cosell and prime Bob Sheridan > Lampley

Once again, it's YOU bringing up the nationalist bull****. Take note of that **** next time.
