Isn't it about time HBO dump the Geriatrics

Lampley and Kellerman are OK, I don't think they like when Roy Jones, George Foreman or Lennox Lewis (in the past) would shoot Merchant and/or Lampley down and tells them "Well...YOU NEVER BOXED BEFORE SO YOU WOULDN'T KNOW" lol which is TRUE...so they stay with Stewart because Stewart will "STAY IN HIS PLACE"
Stewart slurs and mumbles, I can barely understand the guy, plus he really doesn't have a mind of his own, if Merchant and Lampley wants to team up and be cheerleaders for 1 fighter, I think it is only fair to have a Former Fighter that will keep things balance and point out the things that are really going on in the Ring, so many fights Lampley just gets quiet when the guy he is rooting for gets hit, but then he gets all loud and excited when the guy he is rooting for lands a punch
Gus Johnson on Showtime, seems to be excited for BOTH FIGHTERS, he was going crazy for Orlando Salido during the Juan Manuel Lopez fight...and that is how it should be, the Play By Play guy should not be "BIAS"
It has been going on for years now. I don't have any problem with Lampley, He's really good at what he does.Comment

The problem is not their age, its the HBO agenda......but let's address the real problem in US commentary, punchstats....
Just get rid of them alreadyComment

What about it? Its something fun for the fans to ponder. Its all about presentation and entertainment
Otherwise you'd just be watching a fight with no sound and just the 2 fighters in the frame at all timesComment

Replace 'Jones' with 'Steward' and I agree. Jones fumbles with his words and seems to have trouble getting his point across. Fighters generally don't make good commentators.
I like Merchant but he is too negative at times.
I like Bob Sheridan and Al Bernstein, although strangely, they are no good as a pair.
Jim Watt is good too.Comment

No a lot does have to do with age.
I cannot stand having to wait 15 seconds for merchant to bust out a single sentence.Comment
