Simply legend larry merchant!!!

I love the fact that Larry calls out that phony Lampley.

Lampley couldn't correctly call a 1-2 combo if he was sitting on the toilet doing both.

Someone needs to stop Lampley's pitiful blow by blow.

He just does random things during fights that piss me off to no end.

I just watched Williams-Margarito I, and Lampley was breaking down the styles, and Merchant interrupts him to say something ****** like... "Forget the styles, let's just enjoy the mayhem!"

Yeah Larry, who the **** would want to be able to see who has the advantage for the later rounds... Moron.

He also got pissy during Pacquiao-Morales III because the referee was sending Pacquiao back to the neutral corner after a knockdown because Pacquiao left early... "What is the referee doing?"

Well Larry, he's actually just enforcing the rules that everyone was aware of pre-fight... Idiot.

In Mayweather-Castillo I, when they were brawling and things were getting dirty... the referee said something like "Calm it down guys.", trying to get some order so he didn't have to take any more points... Larry gets belligerant and says "WHAT DO YOU MEAN CALM IT DOWN, IT'S A FIGHT!"

Well yeah dude, but these fights have rules, he is just trying to get the fighters to follow them... calm the **** down.

Anyone else get annoyed to no end by him? He really seems like he is better suited for street fights, because he just doesn't seem to get the rules of boxing or something.

If you get pissed off by Larry, then you have much to learn grasshopper!

Totally co-sign on your last comment. Lampley's glibness disguises the fact that he is absolutely terrible calling a fight.

Seriously? Larry Merchant is the man, especially when he busts out his poetry.

I'm pretty much satisfied with all of HBO's commentators. I'd rather have them occasionally show a flaw than be boring and monotone while staying meters away from any possibility of a subject that may get some heat on them. They talk as if they're not afraid of losing their job because some dude gets offended at something they say, and that's a damn good thing.

Good comment. I'll take Stewards' flip/ flops, Merchants' indirect sarcasm & poetry and Lampleys miscalls over Max Kellermans, state the obvious analysis anyday.

[Soldier01]

Larry is the man. I don't think he's ever said anything to piss me off. Now Kellerman is a different story he pisses me off a lot.

[Slimey Limey]

Larry is ok, he earned his place.

Does Lennox still commentate?
