    Showtime commentary sux, would Chico vs JLC seemed more exciting on HBO?

    As great as Corrales vs Castillo I was, with the HBO commentary, would it have seemed more dramatic on HBO? Jim and Larry would have brought drama to that fight. I can only imagine.

      I agree 100%, but can you imagine Jim Lampley, had he had the opportunity to commentate the fight? He would have cried, that's for sure.

        Jim Lampley would have made the ending that much more special, I'm pretty sure of it.

          Yea, Lampley mighta hurt somebody during that fight. I just meant the Showtime cats didn't bother me in that fight. Even wit the wild ending, I wonder if Manny Stew woulda seen that fight goin just as he had thought...

            LOL at Manny Steward. Larry would have put on his finishing touch at the end of the show.

                    Yeah, HBO is top notch in thier boxing programming. I wonder why they didn't seek that fight? or the rematch for that matter.
