Which HBO commentator do you dislike most

[-Kev-]

Thankfully he's retired.

Lampley is awful. Screaming 'big left hand, and another huge left hand', yet you can see that the first one was taken on the gloves and the second caught thin air. He has no idea what's landing and what's not.

[P4P_No1]

I can't stand Lampley anymore, so I'd say him.

I don't mind Kellerman to be honest but I do get a bit annoyed when he sides with the HBO bias or 'house' fighters.

Jim Lampley is utter garbage and I can't stand him.


Rest of the guys are cool in my book.

[KnockoutKings]

Can't stand Max Kellerman. Wish they would kept Merchant just for the post fight interviews and wrap up.

I hate the general tone of disrespect towards fighters in post-fight interviews. These HBO guys make their living off the hard work fighters put in, so the very least they could do is reflect that fact in how they talk about them. Kellerman's dismissive attitude towards Salido and Rosado was unbelievable.

Unfortunately, most fighters are desperate for a slot on HBO so there's little enough they can do or say about it.

That's a really good point you bring up, and honestly it disgusts me when they do that (which is very often). It's like they think they're superior to the fighters and they should be beyond honored to even get a single word in. Sometimes fighters aren't even allowed to give a few shout outs to family members and/or close friends, they're immediately cut off in a very disrespectful manner. These guys are giving blood, sweat and tears for this sport and win fights that mean a lot to them and they get treated like crap by these schmucks who have never laced a pair of gloves up. Makes me sick.

[-Kev-]

They always seem to pick a fighter in round 1, and no matter what the other fighter does, they will ride with their favored fighter till the last bell. It's disgusting. I don't know when they developed in to this, but it really showed in the Williams-Lara fight and Pacquiao-Bradley fight. If they choose to bash you, literally no punch that you land will be replayed and they will not compliment anything you do.

They're fallible human beings like the rest of us. All things considered I think they do a pretty decent job.

Lampley. His boxing knowledge is terrible, but he's the most vocal one

[DeadLikeMe]

I love him as a fighter, but probably Roy. He can spend a minute talking and when he his done have said absolutely nothing intuitive. He reminds me of John Madden sort of.
