I really wish they brought back Foreman, he was funny and was much more impartial than Merchant, Steward or Lampley. Hell, someone just pointed out and I just noticed that Merchant never looks PBF square in the face when he interviews him but he looks almost everyone else in the face.Comment

i dont know if you were watching the fight with other people, but everyone in my house couldnt understand how hatton was winning the fight when mayweather was landing the cleaner harder shots, and when i downloaded the skysports commentary i was shocked, not only was it more accurate, but the scoring was much better.Comment

Watched it the first time and couldnt hear much with all the people over but was puzzled when looking at the periodic graphic of Ledderman's score card. But rewatched it and thought it was so biased that it was almost comical.i dont know if you were watching the fight with other people, but everyone in my house couldnt understand how hatton was winning the fight when mayweather was landing the cleaner harder shots, and when i downloaded the skysports commentary i was shocked, not only was it more accurate, but the scoring was much better.
I saw the Sky Broadcast and was shocked at how much better, from an energetic entertainment perspective and from there BETTER impartiality (always gonna lean towards the hometown boy). But it was much more balanced.
Every other sports writer and commentator had it almost the opposite of HBO. The only call HBO got right was "Cortez calls a stop".Comment

when mayweather really began teeing off on hatton, i couldnt hear anything, when hatton got combo'ed like it was gatti all over again, my house lost, it, and when hatton hit the canvas, like 3 houses in my local area went nuts, i think i know who the city of oakland was standing with when it comes to this fight.
i couldnt beileve it when my mom heard the hatton anthem for the 3rd time during the lacy fight, my mom is very courteous and polite and pretty reserved person she said "mayweather needs to knock his ass out and shut these people the **** up, theyre ****ing up my buzz"
i was shocked at that more than anything because she would end up being right, yes he was knocked out, but no, they still didint stfuComment

I was actually excited about that crowd since the Vegas crowds are usually high rollers with comp tickets and little true boxing zeal. I love a loud crowds and been a part of many here in the Tri-state area. What turned me off was there booing of the Star Spangled Banner. After that I was like I hope PBF's KO's Hatton to STTFU.Comment
