How badly do you miss boxing on HBO?

[PRINCEKOOL]

So you're a big fan of cheerleaders? Lampley is one of the few thing I don't miss about HBO, I prefer my boxing announcers to be unbiased.

I certainly miss the HBO of old but the last few years their programming wasn't good. Mostly ggg mismatches and Pac PPV replays.

Lampley was clearly very good at his job, I liked his style and passion 'He was deep on boxing'.

Most commentators these days, just TELL you what is going on 'You may think? Well that is what a commentator is meant to do, yes but great commentators are multi-dimensional.

HBO had the best production, nothing else came close.

[just the facts]

It's a shame you're badmouthing the voice of boxing given how long he was calling all of the action

Just because you considered him the voice of boxing, doesn't make it true. Like I posted, I prefer my boxing announcers to be unbiased not cheerleading company shills.

Considering the production of these online outlets I miss them a lot. Fox Sports is probably the best of the current bunch but they still don't come close.

You wouldn't last two rds with the greatest boxing commentator of all time.

For me HBO Boxing is like part of my DNA. When they step down...I felt that something of myself was pulled out. We need to be a hard die boxing fan to really understand the meaning of HBO Boxing in the history of this sport. The intros, the 24/7, Lederman, Michael Buffer, Manny Stewart, Jim, Larry, a really best of the best production crew of the highest standard.

Really missed.

The production quality was great. However, I don't miss it. 24/7 was the greatest though

Their production quality was top notch. At the time I thought lampley could be annoying and that merchant was a know it all grumpy senile old ***. But man i miss it now

Showtime was cheesy in comparison but now they look like a real professional outfit

this latest chit on trilla and dazn is low quality trash, looks like some highschool stoners produce it

The thing with them having a near monopoly on it as well meant that you could see all the major fights with one subscription. If it was PPV you could watch it the following week. espn had the lower level stuff too that probably was with your cable package.

Now the stuff is spread out everywhere and all ppv and you might not get a replay
