Times when commentators have done a great job

[Bram]

Always loved the HBO commentary, Lampley, Jones & Merchant for the Barrera-McKinney fight. Roy was clearly partial to McKinney, but as the fight went on he seemed to come around because that fight was a war.

we usually discuss the times a commentary team has been horrible and biased but some times they are amazing so lets talk about those times.

1. naseem hamed vs kevin kelly - perfect commentary by lampley, foreman and larry.

larry: hamed is supposed to have some power of his own with his quickness, we havnt seen the evidence as of yet

lampley: ohhh down goes kelly, theres the power!!

later on, foreman: you dont want to be mixing up with kelly because he can punch

lampley: down goes hamed!!

2. margarito vs cotto 1 - steward from round 1 was saying how difficult it will be for cotto to handle the pressure and size, boy was he right.

Steward was the only was the only announcer that had a clue in the Cotto-Margarito fight, but even he missed most of the body work that Tony did early that ended up winning him the fight. I am a Cotto fan, but that was one of my all-time favorite fights to watch. It epitomized breaking an opponent down over the course of a fight. The body work Tony did was brutal, and even though Cotto was landing more head shots in the 1st few rounds, you could physically see that Cotto was slowing down due to the body work.

THIS ^^^

Manny kept saying that Cotto couldn't keep punching and moving against someone like Margy and that although Cotto was hitting Margy more, Margys one shot out of 3 were hurting Cotto more. Great stuff.

Also Lampley in Pac v Barrera when after the first 4 rounds or so, Lampley started to talk up Pac's chances of becoming a star, he could see the end was near for MAB.
