Hire someone like Paulie Malignaggi or a solid reporter who has done commentating before. Like a Doug Fischer.
    Hopefully this is a joke friend. We are speaking of HBO. Don Fischer is a weird looking girly voiced Internet writer.

      I don't have any problem with what Lampley said in that instance. It wasn't as if he was rdiculing Naz's private and personal beliefs. Naz incorporated his ****** identity into his trash talk and his whole ring persona, he was the one who made it fair game.

      In any case, the story of that exchange was Foreman's love for Naz, and Lampley's all-encompassing and never-ending adoration for Marco Antonio Barrera.

          "If he loses it's because it has been written by Allah!" "Allah knows how to spell Barrera! B.A.R.R.E.R.A.!" That was some disrespectful shit, just as bad as Garcia's comments so Lampley shouldn't throw stones.
          Lampley and everyone else get out of hand easily on HBO. Thats why I love having Roy Jones or George Foreman on there aswell so they can put them back in their place when need be. Lampley is hard to watch sometimes

            yeah, well, it happened just before 9/11. you're right, he'd be drawn and quartered now.

              Had the fight happened post 9/11 I think Naz would have had to undergo a significant image change to get any fight on HBO.
