Comments Thread For: Jim Lampley Signs Deal With Triller Fight Club, Starts Play-By-Play Role on June 19

I like Jimmy Lamps but part of that is nostalgia and part of that is his ability to generate excitement with pace and inflection. I agreed with his actual analysis about as much time as I disagreed with it but that's not what he was really there for.

RJJ, in my opinion, was excellent at breaking down what was happening and often times did it in a down to earth "folksy" way. Manny Steward was also excellent at this (one of the best) but articulated things in a more polished fashion. More often than not RJJ would contradict Lampley yet they were still good together.

wait so this clown lapmley cold have signed with any broadcaster this whole time and this is who he goes with? figures,he fits with the scum, woman beating pos

He probably signed a noncompete that kept him from signing with the other big networks.

[Caxcan]

He was working on the faculty of a university prior to this so props to him. He's biased as a commentator though.

Can we please get Jim and or Roy on DAZN or FOX?? Brian Kenny seems to be able to hop back and forth. Hearing Roy on the Canelo telecast really made me miss HBO. I miss excitement in Jim’s voice when hard shot would land or when the action would break out in a fight. I never cared about his fight analysis because that’s not what he was there for. People cry about him being biased but ALL commentators are biased some just hide it better than others.

all that aside, I like what trillers doing. If they get their hands on a top boxer or boxers the other networks are gonna start feeling the heat

Jim Lampley is 97 years old. It's time for boxing to move on from this dinosaur.

[Combat Talk Radio]

Ah, so that's where Roy's money went.

I'll post the video once more for the lot that thinks this moron is the best and no buffoonery. Such wonderful and articulate commentary. Who even needs compubox when you can just count how many times Lampley says ****.

You gotta a lotta time & Hate on your hands boy
Get a Life
Actually learn to enjoy Life

This shows you Jim is only in it for the money, Triller is a low class disgusting production and they likely paid him huge money, I thought Lamps would sign with ESPN, that would have been awesome, Lamps is the goat color commentator.

These boxing personalities have embarrassed the sport by legitimizing this garbage. Espinoza, Al Bernstein and now Lampley. I guess they just don't care anymore.

[Dustin Tanner]

He'll end up crying live on air if Lopez gets knocked out
