Enough w/ HBO Favortism!!!!

[S2peed]

Hey guys,

I am new to the forums and need to vent a little so here we go. I love the sport of boxing and besides football is my fav sport to watch. I order the PPV fight Judah VS Mayweather, I been looking forward this fight for the last four years. I wasn't going for either fighter just wanted to enjoy a great boxing match.

HBO brings the best fights but I am sick and tired of them favoring their fighters and calling the fight more towards their fighter. A few years ago they did this big with DE la Hoya and with Roy Jones.

Saturday even before the bell have rang they were already knocking Judah and taking cheap shots.

All fight long they were calling the fight one sided and taking cheap shot after shot on Judah and this is way before the 10 round fiasco. There have been times in the past that they make it seem their fighter have won the round and when you watch it again with no audio its completely different you guys should try this is unbelievable this guys at HBO.

Larry Merchant is a piece of s h i t with his cheap shots. I remember I saw a Trinidad fight and he praise him like he was god him self(VS Mayorga). Then Felix Trinidad loses the next fight (winky) and talks about him like his garbage and a nobody. The guy is unbelievable, also Jim Lampley calling the fight one sided towards Mayweather and instigated the Low blow like crazy, i thought they were very unprofessional the way they calling the fights always one sided towards the HBO fighter and i just had about enough.

I must say lenox lewis did a ok job but it was funny how they try to persue him to say bad things about judah u guys should watch it again is unbelievable.

I do miss George Foreman he was the only real commentator thats why they got rid of him cause he spoke his mind and they cover it up making it all sound like it was George decision to leave.

Anyways SHAME ON YOU HBO!!!!! I am very disappointed.

very true...........it was insulting to all sane people.......they were making it out as if mayweather was schooling and totally beating judah.........and this wasn't the case...mayweather was only slightly better and nowhere near anything HBO was saying........

the HBO commentators are like **********s...you pay them they'll do anything!

I tend not to like TV commentators in general. For baseball or football games I turn on the TV, put it on mute and tune my radio to the appropriate station.

Yeah, they called it pretty one sided. I had Mayweather winning and especially after the first 5 rounds but he probably lost 3 out of the first 4 rounds. With only Lennox really giving Zab credit. I think Zab came in at 100% and did the best he could do, but Mayweather came in at 100% also and PBF at 100% is A+. They didnt give Zab enough credit for bringing his A-game.

its not giving credit bro, its being a **********...bias is not the word.......its really disgusting actually when you listen to it...I was rooting for Mayweather, but I wasn't all that impressed at all!...

They are some whining Nuthuggers at times.Thats why I liked Big Geaorge and Roy they used to kind of put Lamps or Larry in their place when they were huggin easpecially Big George.Is it me or has Lamps been dropping off the last year or so.....Constantly saying left by so and so and it was either the wrong guy or it was a right or whatever , he just seems to be not calling as accurately as he once did.

I am with you guys on this one, zab had a good run but only got credit from lenox. At the end of the night may adjusted and showed why he is numner 1. I dont know what happend to zab, he did not adjust and did not use his speed after the 5th round.

HBO commentary is a comedy, I actually listen in to what they have to say in much more often than Showtime because of how hilarious it is. When they had Roy Jones Jr., that was just classic, good times. Showtime commentary is a lot better. I personally think that HBO should get rid of all their commentators and start from scratch, but then again they are in the business of making money so the way they pump up their fighters is in a way natural.
