HBO commentators take too much heat

Manilla Assasin could you please make your signature a little smaller it stretches the board.

LOL yeah especially right now since im working with a 17" monitor. I cant have the site and something else opened at once if its stretched so far cus i have to scroll left and right to read posts .

BTW I also agree that Lampley and Merchant have been blatantly obvious who they been rooting for in the past. Emmanuel Stewart and Roy Jones have gotten on my good side by correcting them a few times when they been on the cheering wagon. Thank god for them.

LMFAO.

it made Ultimate's sig bigger in proportion as well. Haha.

that is priceless.

Its irritating, but I cant say exactly why!

Scrolling would drive me nuts!
Hey, hang onto your seats boys, you'll only hear this once! Steward always had my respect, but, God forbid, Roy even earned it last Sat. with the "you've never boxed Larry" comment! Wow, miracles CAN happen! Seriously though, it is good to have somebody in there with actual boxing knowledge to correct all the worshipping that goes on around there!

put about 5 internet Boxing fans on the air and each of them will have their own opinions and those watching/listening would be talking about how much they suck etc because they are biased...

well with the commentators...they are watching as fans and while try to be unbiased, they are human and have their favorites to root for as well...they should get credit for going on the air and just doing that...

people bashed Max Kellerman because of his opinions...but as an opinionated fan...he is no different than us...only his medium (television) is just more open and "official" to some that he will take a lot of slack for his opinions...

True, they watch as fans, but are paid to be pros...it's really not that hard you see. If I can score a fight fairly when my fav.'s are fighting, then they can root without going overboard I think. Last night, there was one time when they could have "saved face" just a little...Steward said something after the fight was over about Joval putting up a much better fight than expected, etc. Just in general giving the guy his props..neither Lampley or Merchant said a WORD! Total silence, which is very rare.

lol

And they can sway people into thinking that their guy is winning sometimes when he clearly isnt. They are supposed to be professionals, therefore not blatantly biased

It would be impossible I guess that you only see evidence that supports your own theories, huh? I don't think so. For any fight you think they showed blatant bias, I'll show you quotes that proves you wrong, period.

Like I said...HBO's guys take too much heat and it's ridiculous. Be more open-minded. They are paid to do their job, and they do it well, but do not sit there and tell me that they blatantly root for one guy, because they do not. You may be able to tell from time to time that they might like a certain guy, but that does not make it blatant or unprofessional.

Next.

Okay, you do that...for every single time they kissed the ass of Vargas, do quote some of the praise they gave to Joval..since youre so hell bent on proving me wrong! Good luck with that, by the way, cause youre gonna need it.
