What Was Up With Lampley During The Fight?

It made me laugh at the headbutt he said "Ortiz is backing Mayweather against the ropes, pushing him back. JUMPING ON HIM" He said it like Ortiz was doing good by "jumping on him" when really he was butting him.

ya i was thinking the same thing whats up with him

I thought the exact same thing...

Floyd would hit Ortiz with a perfect right hand lead or perfect right hook counter and Lampley would say something like "AND ORTIZ LANDS A MONSTROUS SHOT ON FLOYD"

wtf?

when floyd hit ortiz with one of those highlight-reel timed-to-perfection straight right counter, lampley said 'GOOD LEFT CROSS BY VICTOR ORTIZ. HES QUICK ENOUGH TO FIGHT WITH FLOYD MAYWEATHER'

round 3 @ ten seconds left... right when the clappers sound

fcker must be on the payroll.... these HBO guys are a fcking JOKE....

this is why i DL and keep sky sports version of fights.. at least they have former boxers or just more competent people that can actually see counter shots and know when shots miss etc

Well WTF does 24/7 do.

He needs to hype it up so it doesn;'t look like a mismatch.

There were atleast 5 clear times during that fight where he got excited & said Ortiz landed something when really it was Floyd doing it. That really has an effect on mainstream fans or people who just believe everything they hear. Alot of them werent even close. I know you have a different view from different sides of the ring but sometimes it seemed like even Merchant & Steward knew that Floyd was the one that really landed but Lampley would say otherwise.

Not only that but when Floyd was doing well, Lampley spoke in his normal boxing voice but if Ortiz did even 1 thing (which most of the time he wasnt even really doing) then Lampley would start screaming & getting mad excited. Thats my biggest fear for Floyd in a possible Sergio or Pac fight. Lampley really likes Ortiz but he loves Sergio & Pac. He always goes crazy when they do something. Combine that with Floyd's cray high standard that no other boxer has right now then he could be in real trouble.

By that I mean Lampley is going to go crazy by anything those guys do in those fights. Meanwhile Floyd has reached a level where his standard is so high & so many people hate him that if anything is close, the fans will say he lost the round. I believe he has to win atleast 75% of each round right now because if he wins 60/40 or two thirds, they will be looking to give the round to the other guy. If he takes any clean shots then it will look like he lost a round because people are looking to give the other guy the round anyways & Lampley will be going crazy.

Back to the topic. There was no excuse for how many times he was wrong in that fight. He's been around too long for that. Alot of people on here right now have sigs of Floyd doing things in that fight & Lampley were scoring them big for Ortiz. Hopefully he rewatches & learns not to jump the gun next time. As for Floyd, he could have some really close rounds against Pac or Sergio and I dont think he will get the benefit in any of them from alot of people

Simple, it's the same as when a guy gets a shot on a Klitschko. It's a little bit shocking so the crowd and commentating comes alive. No big deal. To me it's perfectly normal in boxing. It's always been that way.

"Down goes Frazier, down goes Frazier!".............
