    It's boxing for f..k's sake. These clowns talk too much about unnecessary bullsh.. in a pretentious tone. It's a fight.

    I was watching Bradley-Rios and the commentary was annoying. They talk too damn much. Lampley is showy with his vocabulary and Max talks like he's got a stick up his ass in an unnatural baritone voice.

    I like Max, you can tell he has a deep passion for the sport. Plus I like the big words he uses.

    Lampley is HORRIBLE. Fire him any day and I'm happy.

      Lampley is passed his prime. He sucks old man balls.

        He's terrible all around. He's bigoted and extremely biased for the house fighter. And he has a way with calling shots that aren't even close to landing, and then when a decent shot does land he won't even call it, or say it was "blocked".

        I haven't watched the HBO card from tonight yet, but hopefully it's not that bad.

            They are biased but they also got some epic commentaries. But isn't it the same in showtime?

              Kellerman is really staged, there's nothing natural when he performs his job.

                No matter how much Max learns about the sport, he just doesn't "get it".
                Jim is a company man and is sometimes disingenuous in who he hypes up but I get the sense that he genuinely knows and loves the sport.

                    I hate when they only call shots for the house fighter and sometimes when the other guy does work they go off track and talk about other topics not relating to boxing.
