    Hbo commentary... They are a steaming pile of crap. I can't listen to those biased nut huggers half the time. They always have a company line and they make sure to toe it.


    For instance I'm guessing PAC Bradley 2 commentary will be simply nauseating.

      Seems like HBO had vested interest in LomoCLINCHko and their narrative of the fight was disgusting they didn't mention the fact that Lomo was excessively Hugging, Pushing and holding salido head down instead they complained about
      "Low blows"
      The funny thing about this was the fact this was one of the most unbiased commentary I have heard recently.

      I couldn't believe when Lampley actually criticized the ref and talked about how Salido was winning because of him pushing Lomanchenko backwards.

      If you think that was bad, listen to them do the Pac vs JMM 3rd fight, you would think JMM wasn't even landing punches.

        Chavez made weight, Salido didn't.

        They criticised Chavez all fight about his work effort, prior wrongdoings, etc.

        You guys can't just chose what you hear, and make complain based on that.

        They made note of Lamencheko's holding and lack of work in the early rds. I think they were fine in criticizing Salido more. Did he not deserve it? Dude didn't weigh in like a pro, came in 21 lbs over the weight limit as a WW. The whle fight was bull**** and on top of it Salido low blowed all night.

        With all that said, you guys make **** up to suit you needs. STFU.

          HBO broadcasters are paid by HBO so of course they're going to sell their guy.

          Showtime does it as well.

              This. It just isn't the same anymore without Merchant.

                Dude was holding too much. Clinching is viewed as cheating. So I'm glad Salido used his savvy veteran tricks and fouled back. Play fire with fire. Loma held, Salido punched his way out. Boss!

                  I hate hbo commentators because they are very biased toward the guy who makes them money. I don't care for showtime's crew. Paulie is good unless he is calling a fight with a slick fighter that is similar in style to him, then he gets a little biased, but nothing compared to "**** ****" lampley.

                    merchant tore lomachenko a new A**hole.........he called lomachenko out on the pushes, holding, and forearms. (he also called the low blows of salido but made mention that most were ether on the leg or belt line and was being over hyped)


                    now the turds on here are regurgitating the bad hbo commentary.
