Forget Kellerman or Merchant, get rid of Lampley!

[MindBat]

you know what though kellerman and stewart were calling a great fight and pointing out all the things lampley wasnt. Kellerman and stewart we DEAD ON on just about EVERYTHING they said that was going on! They predicted that fight and how it played out to the T!!!!!

I noticed that too. Kellerman was keeping a close eye on Margo and saying that Margarito was getting closer and closer with that right hand. And then it happened. BOOM!

lampley has a great voice! He brings emotion and drama to the fight! it wouldnt be the same with out his commenting!!!

That's indesputable.

If anybody should be gone it should be Merchant!!! He is far more biased than Lampley, and acts like he is the reason people are watching the fight. He is a modern day Howard Cossell, only not as entertaining. Whenever a fighter that he roots against wins, or when they try to get more camera time at the end of a fight than him, he interupts them and cuts them off just so he can get more air time.

Yes. Annoying crap he does, as if whatever a fighter has to say is not as important as he he thinks it should be.

If you're asking a fighter for his perspective of the outcome, let the guy finish what he has to say then add your own two cents worth.

Do you gusy really think he was crying because of miguel Cotto. Watch it again and see what he was takling about. He was talking about their camera man and him being in the hospital or something. Had nothing to do with Miguel Cotto.

[krispy kreme]

LMAO to be seriously honest I did not even notice, it was like commentators were not even there to me. What round was he saying "Cotto, Cotto,Cotto"?

[Easy-E]

Lampley is incredibly biased, and is only getting worse.

Of course lampley would Tear up
Who wouldnt a Classy Gentleman lost and was not given a fair shake by the ref that night.
It is painful to see such a good ambassador for boxing and future superstar be denied his throne because of an ungrateful American who claims tijuana over califas.

Sounds like you teared up as you typed that.

[Cadillac Man]

Lampley is AWESOME...Lamps,Merchant and Foreman were the best trio...True Lamps does get emotional but it's because he truly loves the sport... He always gets teary eyed if u watch...He was tearn up on the promo before PAV-lockett fight w/ Pav visting that kid w/ cancer JEZZZ EVEN I GEAR A LITTLE EMOTIONAL...He was nuthuggin Cotto a bit but he's still the best in the BIZ

I will admit I almost did.
But I almost teared up as well with Morales vs pac 3
Just to see Erik Morales go out like that was painful for me I thought it would of just been a decision loss.

Lampley was awful, I agree. There was even a point where Margarito landed 5 punches in a corner, then seconds later he said something like, "Cotto still landing flush shots, but Margarito isnt landing anything. Will the judges score for pressure?"

He had a horrible night. I didnt think it was that bad until I watched it again. Kellerman and Steward wer eon point though.

That said, I wouldnt trade him in for any other commentator. Maybe Gus Johnson. Lampley catches the excitement like nobody else, and his good moments outshine the bias ones.

[Fenom]

I like Lampley

dude that wasnt anything.

What made me sick is how all 3 of them were big upping Bernabe Concepcion like he was the best filipino fighter around.

You guys are really just mad cause lampley shared the sentiment of many Boxing fans they were rooting for cotto the gentleman to win and carry the sport.
