        Technically they still have the two best divisions from a talent and action standpoint in Super Flyweight and middleweight but they really should do more than two Super Flyweight shows a year and press for the 160-guys to fight each other instead of waiting on GGG-Canelo II to happen. They are obviously putting less and less money into the matches and producing more crap cards than good one's anyway.

        I have also grown tired of their team too. Lampley is articulate and entertaining but has obviously always been painfully biased and Kellerman has gotten very annoying and ridiculously more biased. Lederman's cards have always been useless and gives casual fans the wrong impression of what's happening. Jones is a bit punch drunk, Hopkins can't even say the letter s and just isn't great to listen to and Ward is almost as boring on the mic and in the studio as he was in the Ring. I like Bradley a lot more and Paulie strictly when on Showtime telecasts.

        At one point HBO had them all beat combined. Now they are clearly producing a distant 3rd best product as far as Boxing goes.

          I agree with most of this except for Bradley lol. If he isn’t stumbling drunk then he’s trying to impersonate teddy atlas. He sucks

                    Boy. It’s almost as if I was 100% correct. Who could have imagined?
