Comments Thread For: Merchant on Lampley Calling Mayweather-Pacquiao

[strykr619]

I don't think you have heard British commentary. Jim Watt is the worse very biased and doesn't have a clue.

That's why I'm like "these people saying the UK commentary is good? are they smoking"

CLEARLY the worse commentating period. they make Lampley look like an all time expert in boxing.

Max Kellerman needs to be calling the fight, period.

[Scott9945]

Yeah because Roy is always praising Mayweather....

That was interesting.

[John Barron]

Really rjj is commentating? Dude is gonna be all over mayweather. I guess that's why they have him there instead of kellerman or that other dude on showtime. Definitely a lot fu cken better than paulie

let's say you're right (you aren't), do you have a problem with lampley being there also? because he is undeniably pacquiao's #1 cheerleader over at HBO.

So we get to hear Lampley's voice crack when he gets phlegm stuck in his throat and he goes MMM......MMMM on the microphone when he cant clear his throat which is pretty much every fight he covers.

how bout just let us listen to the crowd..let us determine who won the round.. i get a completely different score re watching a fight on mute.

I can only remember one fight where that was a big issue. It was literally every time he spoke. Dude should've just stayed home and had someone cover for him that night. Other than that one time, it hasn't been an issue.

I've noticed it big in a few fights and then milder in many other fights.

You mean like when Roy said that he won the heavyweight title at age 36 when he was really 34?

I caught that one too.

He has to be, legendary voice n narrating, but his knowledge kind of sucks, hopefully he straightens out for this fight
