Enough w/ HBO Favortism!!!!

False. They always mention Gatti's drawbacks and then go on to say that's what makes him so good (wacthable).

Yeah, but when I hear Lampley comment something like " Gatti is the only true warrior the sport has today" or something really close to that effect, he is placing some favoritism there. That is the comment that really got my attention. I think it was in the fight againts Daamgard he said that. The sport has many true warriors not just Gatti.

I wish HBO had Corrales. I guarantee Lampley is a big Corrales fan. He likes Vargas and Gatti. Why not like a fighter that's p4p better than either of them in Corrales?

I see your point, but surely you must admit it is kind of unreasonable to expect them not to get into the fights. They have the best job in the world.

Farhood did the same thing on Showtime showing his favoritism towards Diego.

True. I bet they are fans too. Probably hard to seperate being fans from proffesionals but if they aint a fan of your fighter, or rather, prefer another fighter over yours, it sucks hearing the play by play/commentary cause you see all the missed calls and bull **** ones.

Anybody know what time HBO will be replaying Floyd-Zab, this Saturday night ?

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.

they do all often favor fighters and it shows in the calling the fight but in this case they were right. judah didnt deserve this fight at all

[Zab Super Judah]

yeah foreman was good for speaking his mind and not just following the others
