    Was HBO as shamefully pro-Taylor as i anticipated?

    First, it was MGrant, then WKlitchko and now it is JTaylor. The extent to which these whores on HBO promote their "chosen" FIGHTERs is an embarrasment to the sport and to the idea of objective sports broadcasting in general.
    I had read the article on the front page of this site where he discusses this issue in depth. Is it your opinion that his observastions about the Taylor bias was as pronounced as stated in the piece?

      It definitely was! Punches that Taylor threw that did not land were recognized by yells. But counters & Hopkins great defense were not recognized at all. All they would say was how can Hopkins win rounds not throwing punches. Almost as good of a question as how can Taylor win rounds by throwing & not landing anything. Makes me wonder if HBO or DI BELLA HAD THERE HANDS IN THAT ONE JUDGES POCKETS? To score the last round for Taylor was ridiculous, while giving some of the early close rounds to Hopkins was not.

        Yeah, i forgot how gung ho(e) they were for Pac in the early stages of thqat fight...thinking that pacman was going to mop the mat with Morales due to each of their last fights.

          Usually, they make me sick with their bias. I had a friend that doesnt like boxing at all watching it....after it was over, I asked him "do you think those commentators showed any bias towards either fighter...and if so, which one"...he said "maybe a little, toward that old guy-whats him name?". The only one that sounded the least pro-taylor was harold and that was when he was explaining his scores between rds. To hear Jones talk, poor ole taylor was being schooled, and b-hops inactivity in the first half was 'pure planned genius'...he kept to that theory until lampley finally informed him that hopkins was running out of rds in which to fully execute his so called "plan"!

            Any judge that should be question is Jerry Roth, He had Hopkins winning by 116-112. Jerry Roth has many strange scores since he's been judging. Roth should be investigated. All of you nutt-huggers should stop making excuses. Taylor is the new champion. Not Hopkins.

              That's not the point of this thread. Stop hi******* threads. Your trying to start an argument with a ghost.
