    Biased HBO Crew!!!

    It's amazing how Harlod, and Emmanuel were so biased towards Pacman while they underminded many of JMM's assaults. Jim Lampley seemed to be the only one that actually gave credit to JMM. Although the fight was very close, and I did have JMM winning, I am not displeased with the decision. On the other hand, if you are lead by the commentators, you would think that Pacman clearly won the fight.

          Steward was well on point about both fighters, Lampley surprisingly was giving props to both fighters(probably because it was an exciting fight) with no bias, and I don't have much to say about Merchant. The only complaints should be directed towards Lederman.

            Man, coming from a neutral side, I thought that HBO was very bias in their commentating. I even disagreed with Howard Ledermans scorecard. The commentators reminded me of the Darchinyan-Gorres commentating, very one sided.

              Ya they would call out every Manny punch, and when JMM was countering they would be talking about how strong Manny is or about one of the cuts, simply ignoring what was going on.

              What got me though was the ending statistics. Marquez landed more jabs so Lampley says "well it was the power that won it for Manny (statistic pops up) oh, well Marquez landed more there as well, but Manny hits so much harder" haha, Marquez won that fight.

                manny kinda annoyed me, but he was right. Pacquiao's right and defense did get a lot better.

                However Harold scoring rounds 1 and 12 for Pacquiao was absurd.

                  Manny kept mentioning "Pac just looks so much stronger, JMM looks tired"--What the **** is that about?? Lampley was not biased.. What the hell was harold thinking.

                  Does anyone know which judge gave the 12th to Pac?

                    HBO are a ****ing disgrace. My blood was boiling after a few rounds. How many of JMM's counters could they talk over and ignore. Then every time Manny threw, but didnt land, they were ****ing cumming all over the place. Im not even a JMM fan but I am ****ed off big time. Why cant they just commentate fairly? Its clear to me that these ****ers have an agenda and I will never wathc HBO again (if I have a choice that is).
