    HBO's commentating bias is sickening

    You would have thought Lampley was a Canelo cheerleader last night. Don't get me wrong, Alvarez won imo but Lampley and the rest of the crew made it seem like the fight was a whitewash. Furthermore, they practically only showed replays of the work Canelo did. It was pathetic, exercise some some objectivity.

      Regardless of whether or not Canelo was going to have favorable public perception that he won the fight he was going to be announced the winner. For Lampley and the HBO propaganda machine it's just another night on the job.

        It's gotten to the point that I can barely listen to them anymore. It's sickening.

        Lampley is a hall of famer but he's lost some on his fastball and the whole crew couldn't call a fight objectively to save their lives.

          I didn't expect anything else. Cotto isn't signed to hbo & for all we know he could fight on showtime next.

              In England all I saw was Cotto landing replays, they probably show 3/4 of Canelo highlights between rounds.

                Why only Lampley, Roy jones as in on it too, Kellerman was the only one trying to be fair.

                Roy and Lampley were praising shots by Canelo that didnt even land.

                    Lampley was his usual idiotic self, but Roy Jones? I've never been more disappointed in him.

                    WTF was up with him? I've never heard so biased.
