Naw man, it is not just you.... It is something that has been going on for a while....

As far as being biased they are the very worst at that...

Just the fact that Lampley started to tear up after the Margs fight shows that this claim is legit....

I don't care about the commentating, I watch the fights. Commentators provide play by play, but they're not robots either. Just like us, they have opinions.

[Tmann400]

yea i mean its aggravating as hell when your trying to watch a fight and these guys are being rediculously biased to the point that you cant even concentrate..and in the clottey-cotto fight lampley was being the most biased out of any commentator i had ever seen..i mean it got to the point that lampley was claiming punches were landing for cotto that didnt even come 5 inches within clottey's guard

Opinions from the commentators is fine. Agendas are another matter though. And I'm pointing directly at Lampley when I say that.

But Jim Lampley isn't the Moses of Boxing. His opinion is his opinion. What he thinks or says isn't the doctrine. If anyone believes that, then they themselves are sheep as it is.

The only agenda I personally have is watching a good fight. If Lampley or any other commentator wants to suck a fighter's ****, that's on them.

Close decisions ain't robberies. And bad decisions happen everywhere. Max and Lampley get annoyin here n there, but they're mostly ok.

I understand your point, and I don't allow the commentators to ruin a fight for me. However when Lampley is supposed to being doing the blow by blow but is only calling one side of a fight (Margarito-Cotto for example), it is an embarrassment to the sport and to HBO.

[ИATAS]

bigger fights on hbo. anyways, what recent fights have been robberies on hbo? I cant think of any off the top of my head, besides maybe that Kermit Cintron fight that ended in a draw but I think that was just bad judging.

[KittenFlaps]

Jim Lampley holds no sway on the outcome of a fight.
