    I was just thinking today how I missed those HBO face-offs. They were always well put together and made the fight seem bigger

      HBO was top tier. Jim, Emmanuel and Larry Merchant. You can't beat that line up. Ever.
      George and Roy were both great in later years too. HBO was pure class. Classy classy operation.

      I didnt like Max Kellerman though. He just kisses the ass of American fighters. Its so pathetic. He's the only one of the cast of recent times I didnt like. But still HBO was way way superior to all other broadcasts

        Max has a weird obsession with black American men.

          Jim Lampley was a great commentator, no one can match his passion and it was authentic. He really cared about the sport a real fan and student

            Watching this fight on thrilla, they keep showing camera shots through the ropes. What the *** is this? do they not have a camera above? they cant stand on the ring side to film like normal?

            there are backyard brawling youtube channels that are more professional than this. camera shot through the ropes, that is garbage

              Fa ck off loser. I'm fairly certain I could whip Lampley and you at the same time. If cheerleading company shills are your preference for boxing announcers, so be it. I just prefer mine to be unbiased.
