I like Jim Lampley. He has the voice that I really associate with boxing. Kind of how I always look for Buffer's "Let's get ready to rumble."

lets hope they do a good job with it. they've got the muscle memory for doing well in documenting anything, particularly sports.

it seems as if this will have a possible news angle as well, which will be a bit rough considering that they have a monetary interest in many fighters and do not in many others.

Whoever hates Jim Lampley has no soul. THE BEST in the business along with Merchant and The Real Deal MAX! It's a delight listening to these guys call a fight.

If its half as good as the "2 days" stuff it will be great!

I wonder if we'll be able to vote on which glasses should he wear on every episode

All we need now is a new run of LEGENDARY NIGHTS... but I guess they're waiting for Mayweather-Pacquiao to happen, if ever

I like it. A program that talk boxing On HBO. I like the new regime there so far. Hopefully they introduce new fighters to build up and talk about the buzz around them. Intrigued so far
