Larry Merchant is a ****

[neils7147933]

Poor Jim Gray gets stuck interviewing the volatile fighters. He had to talk to Golota when he quit vs. Tyson, Tyson after he bit Holyfield, Toney who was pissed for some reason when he thought Gray disrespected Holyfield...

I never card for Bobby Czyz.

I don't mind Al Bernstein and I actually am starting to like Steve Farhood...

Whatever, Larry Merchant is just as bad as Jim Gray, actually worse because he bull****s about it. Jim Gray is at least blunt as hell with it.

Merchant is a ****ing joke. But yeah Lederman has just ****ing lost his mind completely. How the **** he scores fights is beyond me. Its like he gets the fighters mixed up or something. No way in hell you could give Joval a round, except maybe that one round where Joval got the low blow that wasn't counted against him. That was his best round.

Merchant's scorecards are typically MUCH better than Lederman's but that doesn't change the fact that Merchant is an old little *****. He isn't doing a good job if we're talking about him. That's like saying Scott Peterson did a good job because he got a lot of publicity.

The reason Merchant gets **** said about him is because he ****ing knows better. Of course we don't bother ripping into Fran Charles or Bob Papa or Kevin Corke b/c they don't know jack **** anyhow, literally. Everybody on the boxingscene forums know more than those guys, they're just general sports journalists. Lampley's an ass too, but not to the extent of Merchant at all.

They also have more HBO telecasts and more important telecasts on HBO, so I don't rip into Bernstein as much as I should. Bernstein is a dumb **** too. He's often wrong on his scorecards about as bad as Lederman. The fight I remember the best is Ouma vs. Candelo where Ouma was tearing the **** out of Candelo every round...Berstein kept commentating how Candelo was doing so great (which was completely flat out wrong, Ouma was UNDENIABLY destroying Candelo). In the 9th when Ouma stopped him, Bernstein sat there in silence from shock for like 10 seconds. His ****** ass couldn't see the inevitable knockout coming. ANYBODY could see it.

But look at Showtime's recent fights and hell even upcoming fights. They're not AS good usually, and they only have 1 Saturday big show a month. I personally like Steve Farhood a lot. I was hoping Farhood would be Czyz's final replacement, but no they had to bring in ****head Bernstein.

I love Larry that guy is the best plain and simple. I couldn't even imagine watching boxing without him.

Jim Gray is a no knowldge ass clown. Larry has a right to talk the way he talks he's been in boxing longer than Gray has been alive.

Jim Gray knows nothing about this sport and disrespects everyone thats why he is hated so much by fighters.

Farhoods voice and his teeth just piss me off, the whole mouth thing he does is annoying as hell.

He is so dorky it makes me want to "lash out at my television screen". That coalesced with his annoying voice makes Al Berndstein my favorite announcer in comparison to Farhood.

Al Berndstein and Bobby CzYz are my 2 absolute favorites.

Larry is the man.

Merchant is my favorite commentator. He speaks his mind, and I appreciate it.

I want to know something:

Larry said:

I am not sure as to whether or not Joval has ever been knocked out in a fight.
oh. My producer informs me.....that he has not

How in the sam hell did he not know that? if all of us did?
Larry needs to put the Stolyk bottle down and get to work.

some of u guys are ******. larry acts like he wishes fighters would do this and that, and my im disappointed, that guy lacks heart etc. but hes never had one ****ing amateur fight. hes a phoney little ***** and has no real right to talk **** about boxers on HBO.

Sports journalists and commentators get paid to give their opinions. That obviously gives him a right to his opinion. In fact, it's his responsibility...
