HBO's commentators getting checked last night by their own people!

[Cinci Champ]

I was watching the fight and was thinking it was a lot closer than what ledderman, jones, lampley and kellerman were saying. These guys were saying it was a shutout and I was yelling at the tv that these guys were f'n ******. Then all of a sudden lampley said their producers/crew in the truck contacted them and said they don't know which fight they're watching but the producers/truck crew have it as a close fight! Thought it was hilarious because only then did the commentators quit riding rigos nuts!

Rigo did an excellent job last night, don't get me wrong but it was definitely not a shut out! I scored it 115/113 for Rigo

thats not what they said they said writters were tweeting they thought it was closer

And what 1 million other people were saying as well.

Rigondeaux lost 2 rounds at worst.

Why is anyone listening to those commentators, they know absolutely NOTHING about BOXING!!! They stink at what they do!! Turn off the sound and put some Coltraine on and watch and learn something. Lampshadhead is a total jerkoff and the Lettermanboy is "hugger" poor Roy is there holding his pecker in his hand, wishing he was home! Those people are ridiculous! Ray.

Ihad Rigo easily winning 10 ---2 and Donaire brought nothing to fight!! No conditioning at all he was smooth had no defination and was unwilling to engage and that was before the fight!!!! Not to take anything away from Rigo who controled fight , boring as it was!!! It looked like the first 4 rounds were leading into a fight but Rigo started running and Donaire never engaged him. It was definetely a conventional stance fighter being stumped by a southpaw who sat back on his rear foot and was NEVER pressed!!!!!!
Donaire brought nothing and then couldn't handle Rigo anyways!!! The fight was NOT a great fight and I'd hoped it could be. Both are talented but against one another no one takes the fight to higher ground! Neither are headliners after that performance. Rigo is talented but that was already known his problem is promotion, he's a boring fighter and to use the excuse thats its "scientific boxing" is just BS!!! Theres plenty of scientific men who engaged their opponents alot more than he does!! I see his skills but his methods don't sell tickets. He was booed along with Donaires lack of effort all night!! Real headliners don't get booed throughout their bouts!!! Boring!!
Ray.

FYI I usually respect your posts but Rigo threw and landed more than Donaire. When you have someone like Rigo doing that then you (the opponent) have some issues.

Was I listening to the same commentators?.

At a certain point I hoped Bradley would say something, the other guy kept on scoring rounds for Donaire. Some rounds were close enough, but the man was ranting about ring generalshp winning rounds for Donaire, while in fact Rigo was obviously fighting when and if he wanted.

[mannyman]

Seriously... I had Rigo winning 11 rounds. He put an absolute clinic one Donaire.

[Derranged]

Donaire won 1 round, two at most. That fight was never close.

[AnimalisticMeth]

Donaire got schooled. He won maybe 2 rounds and thats pushing it.

[DannYankee]

For once (Perhaphs because Rigo made it so clear it didnt allow them too) they didnt have their head up their ass usually when it's any of their man crush fighting they give em every round and make a big deal every time they throw ANYTHING Last night they where more less on point.... for once.

$h!t, I thin k it's the exact opposite. I think hbo commentators actually got this one right.

LMAO, it's like the rare time they call a fight to the tee, and the producers are down their throats. No wonder why they nut ride the money fighter most of the time.
