    This is HBO Boxing's business model ffs. Idek why people mention it at this point like they've "had it" with it or like its something thats not been around for decades.

    Granted its kinda corny but not so bad when they are hyping "your guy" or the guy you like. And its ****ty, but understandable when they are going against "your guy". At the end of the day though its been a overall great thing at helping make HBO fighters & HBO Boxing the gold standard in boxing today. PBC or anyone attempting to unseat HBO would be wise to take a similar strategy with how they hype their guys.

      Did Jim Lampley cry again when Cotto lost?

        Another clear win rendered suspect by baseless non-belief. Wow this is easy, so if I refuse to believe something it means it's not true right?

              All in all color commentary is just that, colorful. Take it for what it is.

              All the reason boxing fans and true knowledgeable boxing aficionados knows the right man won clearly and by a 9-4, 8-3 type of margin too.
              Say word!

                  Walk in the park for Canelo. Cotto did his best, but he was in there against the younger, bigger lion. Everyone gets old. Miguel doesn't belong at middleweight with the big boys. He beat an old Sergio with bad knees. Canelo looked like he didn't really want to hurt the older warrior. The scorecards were bullshit, but if you think Cotto should've won...pass the spliff, homie!
