      He was fairly accurate to me against Judah who did nothing but duck and avoid shots. Same as pacquiao-mosley, when your opponent is focused on defense 100% it's hard to land shots. But it Doesn't matter because you ain't beating him doing ballet moves in the ring.

        I have been trounced as angry fan for saying this but it is the plain and simple to see truth of the matter. Boxing is a business....the products are the fighters themselves in this case. HBO knows that the public is going to consider their OPINIONS as the best out there because they are the professionals. So when they repeatedly talk about how a fighter is dominating or landing flush shots when your eyes say otherwise, they are hoping that the public will just give in to what they are saying due to their positions with the networks.

        The other guycan land several flush punches and they won't say a single word about it but as soon as the marketable guy, the guy that is supposed to win, throws a punch that may only hit gloves, they say..."Wow, there goes so and so with a nice right hand" knowing full well that the punch didn't even land.

        They are trying to hype dude up as a superstar because if they say he is one, well golly gee he must be one then....lol
        I watch fight with and without volume to compare the difference the commentary has...you'll be surprised the difference it makes.

        Having a fighter land on elbows and gloves but hearing the commentators give that guy credit is annoying as hell!!!

                LOL as if what you think is really all that important hahaha Sorry no disrespect but the STATS DON'T LIE...Khan was FAR FROM ACCURATE last night

                that doesn't mean he didn't look good though, because he DOMINATED THAT FIGHT, but to say he was "ACCURATE" is a JOKE!

                  I actually heard Jim Lampley is tired of commentating boxing matches and is thinking about giving it up.

                      because Khan is a potential money maker. HBO is a business. GBP and HBO also have a deal going on. It's not hard to figure out which fighters HBO have a bias towards.

                      Also Khan accuracy was **** just like that other Euro bum he faced previously.
