    Jumping Jim Lampley

    Along the same lines, is it just me or is Jim Lampley ungodly bias? I mean bad. It seems that he heavily favors certain fighters over others. I randomly think of DLH/Mosley II (which I scored for DLH). Mosley could do nothing right at all. Particularly in the ninth, Mosley did very well, but Lampley would hear none of it (or saw none of it). General observations??

    yeah, he sees close fights as pretty one sided, depending on whose in it, but i've sort of got used to the guy

      Most broadcasters are biased. Lampley is not by any means alone in his biased coverage.

        He has a talent of putting things into words but he's as biased as teh next fan. Sometimes he just flat out dont make any sense.

              I think he knows how to hugs the balls of a boxer he likes really good. He knows how to say the right stuff to make you just want to be a fan of a person he talks about.

                I have no problem with Lampley. He's good at what he does, sometimes his emotion taints his judgement, but overall he calls a good fight and has good catch phrases. "Here comes Morales, here comes Barrera." etc...

                    I do agree that he injects a lot of emotion into his commentary that really adds to the experience. Sometimes though, he gets a little saucy.... "look at the glistening body of a warrior," etc. Makes one feel a little uncomfortable....
