Do Larry Merchant, Jim Lamplee read sumthing in Backgrounds when They speak?

[Manny_P]

ya, simple as that.

these guys speaks so fluently n shyt. so many beautiful werds, witty comments and good compliments. I think they reading sumthing that wasprepared. Or they don't and they jest speak freely?

Opinions?

hmm

No. And it's obvious. Merchant takes a long time to think and pauses a lot when he starts. Lampley is just a very intelligent, thoughtful, and wordy guy and always has been. He has a good command of the English language.

ok i get you. But I swear, I was watchin Pac vs Velasquez an hour ago, and on ta intro, JIM looked like he was reading sumthing. I mean, MAYBE THEy DONT MOST OF TA TIME, but no way in hell, Jim freestyled ta introduction of errr HBO fights.

[AintGottaClue]

thats because there reading backround of the fighers so they can use that with there words. like if jim wanted to use a ceratin knockout that pac did to a certain fighter, they have them facts guy print it out and he memorizes it, its just a fact list them read to use manny

remember these guys probably have A LOT more boxing knowledge than any of us...they see this night after night first hand...this is what they do for a living...so they can do it fluently...

just like if you have been practicing a craft like playing piano...once you have done it for years and years...eventually it becomes second nature...and you just go with the flow...

they don't sound robotic so I think they MAY have specific notes of facts about the fighters in a specific fights and bring it up...but no I HIGHLY doube they read from promters or anything...I assume just notes and go with the flow...

[Super_Lightweight]

hmm

Honestly, I'd have to see the clip you're talking about to asnwer that question. But, I have that fight on tape but don't know if the intro is on there or not. I just now it was a good fight for Pac.

Pac KO1 world.

lol

[Manny_P]

man these guys make ma English look like grade 2 level, I hate it! These foos probably got 2 GEDs in college. They so good in English betta than most people that were born hurrr that I KNOW.

I KNOW, they speak freely when ta fight is goin on. I jest thought bout tis when Jim Lamplee, or Larry Merchant would look into camera, camera zooms, and Merchant has HIS FINAl WERDS. One p[articular one, is Pac vs Velasquez, when camerazooms in Jim Lamplee, and he starts talkin bout Freddie Roach and Roach's backround.

man these guys (Commentators) make ma English look like grade 2 level, I hate it! These foos probably got 2 GEDs in college.

No Manny_P, you make your English look like the second grade

i know that the announcers show up hours before fight and have a ruff script to follow and go through.

and merchant,the guys has pissed me off in the past but if you listen to larry on pedro fernandez's show man he's like a different guy when not in front of the cameras. intelligent and insitefull. no fooling.

ya I surprise also. I dint realize Jim Lamplee knows about many sports not jest boxing. When he was talkin bout baseball one time, I thought "sell out", but it seems he jest studied SPORTS in general, not jest boxing.
