larry merchant was just on first take

[deejd]

did they talk about the ward-dawson fight??martinez-chavez???do they talk about actual boxing matches?

Nope, but apparently Bayless has been covering boxing since before Stephen A. was born and Stephen A. is a huge fan of boxing yet only talks the obvious two. It's pathetic to see how they keep regurgitating the same lines they've always said and try to pass it off as being knowledgeable on the sport.

They have to stick to the script, you do realize that right? They're all about viewership, and the only interesting fight that casuals care about is Floyd vs Manny.

Hence why I mentioned the deal that HBO made with ESPN. Even if they wanted to voice their own opinions, you can tell just from the script they read, they don't follow the sport. If you actually think they do, I can't help you.

You honestly think without this script, their thoughts change? Maybe when it comes to major American sports, but you honestly think that Bayless knows who Dmitri Pirog is? Wait, let's keep the theme American, do you honestly think Bayless or Smith know anything about Pavlik, Cloud, Malignaggi, Dawson, etc...?
