Let’s get Jim Lampley back in action already

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

DAZN wanted "fresher" commentary - same as WWE cutting Jim Ross.

JR is still far better than the guys they have now tbh. JR was also struggling with the hectic travel schedule I believe.

DAZN’s team is horrible, Mora is the only guy I can stomach, they desperately need some guys who actually understand boxing rather than shills like Grisham and Mannix.

It was a glancing blow that barely had any effect, terrible call by Cortez, Soto got jobbed that night.

That’s one of the reason’s I loved HBO broadcasts, they were far more inclined to expose the bullsh** in boxing rather than conceal it like most of these company men do nowadays.

I can’t tell if I’m being trolled when I’m drinking sometimes. Was he trolling me?

Yeah he’s a well known troll on these boards.

Yeah he’s a well known troll on these boards.

I used to be here all the time. You and I started the corrupt judges thread together back when I’d smoke weed all day.

It was not just Lampley, the entire HBO production created prestige and class.

The attire they would wear, would add to the occasion.

Now? Sky Sports, Showtime or whoever you have presenters turning up in casual clothing 'Most productions are extremely tacky'.

Boxing has always been a combat sport, that at elite level embodied a tremendous amount of prestige.

I remember he was set to call the Teo VS Kambozo fight for triller before the fight was canceled and then moved to another network. Why did his comeback stop there?

He’s the best commentator in the history of boxing and if you disagree then I legit think you’re dumb. You probably prefer Bradley getting weepy over one of his past fights that he won by robbery/head butting or Ward constantly putting down Canelo like he was somehow better lol.

- - We get that U need a minder to help U along a broadcast, especially if he/she/it just as mentally vacuous and preening as U.

Go git'em Tigger...

Why? We have enough cheerleaders in the sport now. Lampley is one less cheerleader we've got to worry about. I personally don't even listen to commentary anymore. Most of it is f*kin garbage and biased.

[Hustle]

Reminds me of that time they all saw Mayweather lose 116-112 to Castillo.

There are counter points to every claim like this.

They get paid to call fights. Not judge them buddy

Yeah that was a great idea. I kept it going until midway through last year but it wasn’t getting much traction so I just kind of forgot about it.

You could walk up to Lampley and slap him with your left hand and he'll shriek he got punched by your right hand. How many times we have seen Lampley scream about a big right hand and then Roy Jones jr chuckle and correct him?
