    It was all about promoting the September rematch with Mayweather. And there is no better way to do that then to sell that Oscar has a better chance to win than he did last time. Lampley and Merchant showed some restraint, but Steward was nauseating.

      Why are they so hard for Oscar. This was a horrible performance. I hope Oscar never fights again. Its plain to see that he can't beat any of the top contender.
      It would have been even worse if Max Kellerman were there. He's not into Hispanic men like Oscar, but he would have sounded all night like he was wanting to perform fellatio on Forbes.

        I find it highly embarrasing that the most exciting punch came from his opponent who has 9 ko's.
        I think Oscar should not bother to fight Floyd.

          I expected no less from the HBO crew, but Manny was saying good things about Steve too

            Yeah you're right. I think that Steve fought the best he could at his level. If FloyD Sr thinks that he can make Oscar Jab his way to a victory against ANY of the top fighters right now he is quite mistaken

              Wait till he fights Mayweather who the whole hbo crew hates. They will be all over De la hoya once he lands a good punch.

                Lampley always does.

                Merchant wasn't as bad, he was questioning Manny when Manny would make some questionable comments.
                I agree. Overall, it was sickening though. Here's a guy coming up two weightclasses two fight a legend of the sport, a man everyone predicted would win by KO, and not only does he las the full 12, but he manages to look competitive and land 130 punches on the dude. He got wobbled many times and always came back, never being seriously hurt and continuing to fight on. The HBO crew didn't even mention half of this. They did not talk about Forbes AT ALL during the fight. Very sad.

                  Sure, but he was only doing that to make Oscar look better.

                    Its almost like they were being paid by GB.
                    Fact of the matter is given all these circumstances, Forbes should have been KO'd in 6.

                      What do people really expect Oscar has been the face of boxing and HBO Boxing for quite some time now. Steward also was giving Forbes his credit to.
