Has anyone brought up the biased HBO coverage?

[Manny_P]

then Stewrt acts like he knows errrthing and was already makin excuses fo Morales when Morales says something about his legs. **** this shyt. He goes "can't fight witout yo legs"....YEA noooo shyyyt. What about sayin Manny's body attacks did that homie? He cated like Morales had cramps or sum shyt.

I don't know, Merchant was all over Manny's nuts ever since Pacquiao beat Ledwaba.

thn Jim Lampley at the end of 5th round was like "so if the question is, IS THIS FIGHT DIFFERENT FROM LAST TIME, the answer is NOOOO" I felt like punchin his face on the TV. I'm like, you just wait beotch, Pac will get his rythm goin.

Yeah, Lampley's been bitchy as hell lately. I'm sure HBO doesn't appreciate him trashing every fight he calls by like the fourth of fifth round.

[RAESAAD]

Lampley was waaaaaay off he was calling shots that were not landed or even thrown at times he is getting senile or something.

[Manny_P]

o wait what about the fact that Lampley puts a higher emphasis on Morales' punch percentages than Manny's total punches. what about that. He acts like Morales punches better and always concerned about percentages.

he goes, "Morales CONNECTING at higher percentage, Pacquiao throwin alot more but landing at less accuracy" WTF is up wit that?

Pac landed 171 powerpunches you dimwat while Morales landed only 107. Notice the difference Lampley. PAC WHOMPED Terible deal wit it. Shyt we all know that most of that 644 punch numbers of Terible were jabs anyways. He dint hurt Manny. LOL!!!!!!!!!

With all the threads about the Paq-EM fight, I was wondering if anyone had brought up the extremely biased pro-Morales announcing of Lampley and Steward.

Especially in the early going, they seemed to think that a Morales win was a done deal. I mean, for crying out loud, he was stumbling around after that one shot in the 2nd and they seemed to think it was no big thing. All they could talk about was how much smarter a fighter he was, and how his chin was so strong that Paq would never be able to take him down.

You know, I thought Morales would win myself, but in the early going it was pretty obvious that he was going to have a hard time.

Anyway, if this has already been discussed at length I apologize.

I really frowned at the black guy. He has a big mouth and yet he ate those words by the start of the 5th when it looks like that Morales is fading from the power shots.

That black guy even had the balls to make excuses for Morales after claiming Morales is just too big, too savvy and to strong for PAC to KO. When he was seeing a beating, he started talking a different tune, which was extremely pathetic.

Considering he's a broadcaster and all. The funny thing is, after the fight, he's face looks like he just pissed on his pants and was ashamed he got caught on national tv.

The other guy, well.. he did a good job at comentating and his accent flowed with the pace of the game. Although they say he just goes with the flow.

Larry Merchant did an insightful job as always.

I don't know, Merchant was all over Manny's nuts ever since Pacquiao beat Ledwaba.

He went on and on about the gloves in the first fight, so he is definitely a Paq fan. But hell, he was probably right now when you think about it.

Plus Merchant is there more or less to provide "colour" to the announcing. I don't expect him to be as objective as the other two. Lampley especially should not be favouring any fighter.

At least Merchant is right and he's taking all the laurels and credit.

You should look to the other so-called "experts".

They're the ones eating their word right now.

Mercahnat keeps yappin gloves don't matter, and Merchant would always try to expose him errrtime Morales gets hurt by Many's punch.

It's evident though there is a difference. Manny's punches were ****in cripser when they landed wit Reyes gloves on.

[Bombardier]

then this ****er Jim Lampley was gettin hyper in shyt afta round 2 (EVNthough Pac had a huge round in that one) he goes "Pacquiao's face is already swelling up big product of Morales' excellent jabs".

Shyyyyt, that was Manny's round. Give him the credit you biased piece of shyt!

Manny had Morales reeling in that round and nearly KOed them right then and there. Lampley didn't seem to notice, or didn't want to.
