According to veteran scribe Paul Upham of Seconds Out, trainer Freddie Roach is the frontrunner to replace Lennox Lewis as an HBO expert analyst for their “Boxing After Dark” series. HBO hired Lewis as an expert analyst for their televised shows four years ago. It was revealed on Friday, by Lewis, that he gave notice to the network and was leaving to concentrate on his personal ventures. Multiple sources have reported otherwise. They report Lewis was let go by the network and they refused to renew the former champion's contract. They were not pleased with his level of work during their televised broadcasts.

I can hear the commentary now...."He needs to keep coming in even if he gets hit, eventually he will get the big shot".
Looks like I will be hitting the mute button more often.Last edited by Mr Reality; 05-07-2010, 11:54 PM.Comment

This is very surprising. I suppose it's only on BAD which means it won't be as often he'd have to be going out to the events. It would be interesting to hear his point of view but Steward and him could definitely not be on the same night lol. Other than that, Freddy does talk boxing like nobody's business. I wouldn't mind. Give him a chance like Lennox. Worse comes to it, be smart and get outta there!Comment
