    HBO should hire Andre Ward to commentate over Roy.

    I never liked Kellerman anyway, mofo says the weirdest **** all the time. He tries to sound smart but it's not natural, it's like pushing a punch.

    Larry Merchant had that Al Bernstein appeal.

      Judge HBO on the Pac fight.

        Lampley was good in his day but he is awful now. Kellerman has never been good.

        Roy is the only saving grace on that commentary team.

          Totally agree, HBO always seemed like the big leagues in every way compared to Showtime. That has changed so drastically and so fast. I hope that changes for Pacquiao-Rios.

              I love Lampley. He's still the best imo. And his genuine emotions and passion cannot be replaced.

                roy and crew were clearly pro bradley tonight, but i kinda expected that going in. otherwise i didn't mind them that much...i enjoyed the fights however.

                  Harold Lederman falls asleep in the middle rounds. This whole card should of been on regular HBO and PPV, HBO might as well change their name to Top Rank boxing and let the good old Colonel commentate as well.

                  Arum's product is crap and HBO is stuck with it.

                    I thoughts the main event was pretty good, it definitely exceeded my expectations.

                      I want to see Harold Lederman given a chance at commentating. I like his upbeat voice. They also gotta bring Merchant back.
