    Just flicked through it there. I had to laugh at the bit where he talks about Broner fighting Mayweather with the footage of him beating up Gavin Rees being offered as evidence of his suitability. Then when he's talking to Kellerman he puts Broner in the category of 'dangerous' competition for Mayweather

    Oh Jim, you old whore.
    LOL. Lampley doing his best to hype up HBO fighters. Is it worth watching? Or is it the same crap we already know, but with an HBO twist?

      It's not really worth watching to be honest. It just feels a bit pointless. You'd get more out of the average crackpot with a boxing channel on Youtube.

        Good to know. I watched the first ever episode, and that **** bored me to tears. Haven't watched another one since.

          Jim's show sucks HBO just mad show time is putting together better products. And yeah Floyd is a small welterweight, RG is the one moving up and talked about how small he is. Dudes demanding the 147 lb king fight 160 lb fighters are idiots. Like oh Floyd is this and that if he doesn't fight Sergio. Lol

              I remember hearing a comedian tell a joke about "horn rimmed spectacles" in which he was introducing a friend.. but it's too smutty for me to post. I laugh about it every time I think of it-like now.

                Nah, I've watched Kellerman since he came on TV, and used to like him. Although he was never relaxed, and his eyes always popped a bit, he's much worse since he's trying to (sort-of) emulate Larry Merchant. Now his grimace is so tight, I expect him to burst his britches (breeches-or brakes as it's called on this site) at any moment. He looks ready to devour a side of raw beef......and then he goes into his act.

                He seems VERY rehearsed and stagy, insincere, self-conscious. At least so it seems to me, and he should be accustomed to it. I think it may be that he is on "the big stage" and hasn't become used to it yet.

                Of course I have a very critical eye.....

                  Show was as fraudulent as ever.

                  Now that floyd is with Showtime and Pacquiao is falling asleep on the job Lampley totally forgot about how he treated him after the tim vs Pac. He was ****riding because they dont have anyone.

                  I like that Kellerman checked Lampley saying Floyd should fight Serg or GGG.

                  Fraudulent

                    HBO is bitter as **** over Floyd's departure. That came through loud and clear.

                      I thought it was funny as crap that Lampley was trying to support Bradley last night during his interview and you could tell that Tim wanted to bust out laughing at the irony. He was like many critics thought you had lost the fight but after Pac's recent 6th round KO loss to JMM, that view has changed......WTF???? Lampley was the one screaming ripoff and claiming Pac landed 5000 punches on Tim the week after the fight, lol.
