    HBO needs to fire Harold Ledderman, enough's enough.

    Hes terrible
    The guy never gets a fight right, I look at him score rounds and think wtf is this guy looking at.
    Ledderman thinks if a guy throws more punches he automatically wins the round, despite not landing the effective punches. Thats why he had Calzaghe dominating Hopkins.

    Look at his scorecard last night, how he scored the last round for Kovalev despite Ward landing the effective cleaner punches boggles my mind.
    The guy is more personality than Judge at this point, and the reason why HBO is keeping him is simply because of nostalgia and his catchy voice.

        I couldn't agree more.

          Lederman is a embarrassment to the sport and a company yes man who will fill out his cards to almost always give who HBo want to win the rounds needed

          Time for Lederman to go the way of Merchant and disappear into irrelevance

              if rounds are very close the benefit should be given to the aggressor, thats basic judging knowledge. lederman had it a bit too wide but at least he picked the fighter tht deserved to win

                "YA know Jim, I just don't get it. I mean Ward is just gaining points from the outside, I don't know how he can win this fight against a big fighter like Kovalev. He just needs to go in there and hammer Kovalev..."

                Roy and Max mock it...

                  Hbo's commentary last night achieved a new low. Lampley, jones and even max at times were really hard to stomach.

                    I don't know if the man should be fired but he definitely scored some rounds very wrong and his "he's needs to take it to Kovalev" comment just not what you expect from a boxing expert. Was I the only one that noticed all the highlights at the end of the fight were of Kovalev tagging Ward? Not saying he wasn't but you at least show 1 highlight of the champ getting some shots in.
