Emmanuel Steward and Judges Age...

I thought Lampley was much more biased with Martinez. Steward at least was giving Martinez credit while Lamps just couldn't stop talking about Martinez. Even when Williams was landing well he would be talking about Martinez. I thought it was one of Jims worst jobs on the mic.Comment

You are also correct, sir. But Lampley has been doing this for years for fighters he's obviously favoring and I have learned to tune him out. His commentary for Margarito-Cotto was one of the worst I've seen. He was no different in this fight. He even admitted that he was always biasded towards DelahoyaComment

I disagree with that..
take for example the first round..
the way Martinez went down and Williams went down were completely different..it's hard to jump in excitement when Martinez clearly took a bad step and got hit off balance and slid down as opposed to the HUGE counter right hook Martinez landed on Williams to drop him
and as the fight went on it was much of the same..Williams landed hard shots and good ones..but Martinez kept knockin Williams' block back and you could see his head jerking and even snot getting knocked outta him!..
Lampley likes excitement and HARD SHOTS!..and that's when he gets excited..nothing really shook Martinez as much as it did Williams..Comment

Totally agree!!!!1Ok 2 thing that really bothered me tonight were..well aside of the obvious 119-110 scorecard was the Emmanuel Steward..and the fact that every judge besides maybe Julie Lederman are 112 years old..
first off..Emmanuel Steward..why is he so stubborn?..am I the only one who doesn't care for him too much?..
He's always got his own idea which make sense..but always clowns the other announcers who believe otherwise and keeps repeating what he feels will happen as the fight continues..you can almost hear him smirking and laughing at the others opinions..he seems to always give one guy too much credit and the other not enough credit..I'm probably the first to say..I don't like Emmanuel Steward..I prefer Max Kellerman...
Secondly..how come everytime there's a fight..and a CLOSE one at that..one judge scores it ******ly off like tonight 119-110..or 116-111..etc and when they show the judge..he looks like he's already got one foot in the coffin..there should be an age limit for this type of ****..no way can a man over 80yrs score a fight and clearly see whats going on..I'm tired of it..if Martinez would have lost by Majority Decision as is 114-114, 115-113, 115-113 I wouldn't be so upset even tho I felt Martinez won..but 119-110?!..and it doesn't fail when I saw a picture of the judge he's old as fuck..
well that's my rant for the night..Comment

I don't think you can deny that Martimez was hurt and holding at the end of the 4th round. Lampley was biased as he has always been.I disagree with that..

That shot I jumped and yelled!..I think it was like a left hook/uppercut from williams made martinez lean in and hold on..but I'm pretty sure Lampley gave his usual "BIG LEFT from WILLIAMS!"
I think Lampley was also surprised by Martinez last night..he knew he was a live dog like all of us..but no way did all of us see him put on that kind of performance..even Kellerman who we all know is Williams' biggest **** rider was amazed..it was a shock reaction more than anything IMO..but Steward always demonstrates biased and one sided opinions when I listen to him..Comment
