    Is there anyone you lost respect for after last Saturday's fight?

    I have a few. Paulie Malignaggi completely lost mine. He's too emotional and loses sight on being objective. The irony was I was looking forward to his analysis before this fight happened since I thought he was fair and objective. Max Kellerman as well. He is usually pretty good on being objective but he might as well have been wearing a Andre Ward t-shirt during the telecast. I was going to say Jim Lampley as well since he was way too bias for Kovalev but come to think of it he never really had my respect to begin with. He's way too bias. What about you?

    Paulie picked Kovalev to win you fool and then scored it 1 point for Ward.

      Lampley was just trying to counter Kellerman's bias.

      Kovalev would hit Ward, Kellerman would say Ward landed. Lampley was trying to set the record straight.

      Malignaggi and Kellerman were disgusting.

        That doesn't matter. You can still be emotionally calling fights like Jim Lampley and not be objective.

          He was but there were moments where it was too much where he clearly wanted Kovalev to win. Like when Kovalev missed a right hand and Lampley claimed like it was a big shot. There were rounds where Ward was doing well but Lampley never gave him credit. TBH a lot of the crew were pretty bad. When you are calling fights, you have to be unbias and make it seem like you don't have a dog in a fight but none of them really did that.

            Boxing fans, instead of appreciating a good close fight that we get a guaranteed rematch of between 2 elite p4p fighters , they wanna b1tch and moan and degrade it

              Lampley admitted he called missed shots for Kovalev.

                  no there were rounds where ward was doing better, he never did well. won one roudn clearly entire fight. 3 or 4 close ones that i guess we have to give to him to feel sorry for him? they felt so sorry for him they gave him the damn fight.
