Comments Thread For: Jim Lampley Agrees To New Multi-Year Deal With HBO

Oh joy.

Now we get several more years of having to listen to this biased shill.

The sport really needs more technical commentators, not these puesdo historian/gossip columnist types that mention so much random nonsense during fights. They're always calling punches landed that are of little significance and trying to argue with fighters about strategy.

Guys like Tim Bradley, RJJ, Ward, Malignaggi, add so much to the telecast with their insight on strategy, approach, and technical analysis. Froch is a terrible commentator tbh. Bellew is pretty good though from what I've seen.

With trainers its hit or miss. Like Virgil Hunter and Atlas aren't very good on telecast to me, too much generalizations and speculating on mindset, but a guy like Robert Garcia would be tight, his YouTube videos with breakdowns are legit imo.

I wish HBO would add two more unofficial scorecards besides Harold Lederman's. Take two random scorecards from the media ringside and show them along with Lederman's.

Agreed. We should get a fighter scorecard too. From RJJ or Ward or even Bradley.

I always thought Lampley had the most exiciting sounding voice, and also the esteemed voice of Rich Marotta. However, I agree with those who say Lampley is biased with some fighters in his commentary, as if he only sees what one fighter does. Examples would be the way he favours Golovkin and Pacquaio, although strangely was lukewarm on Manny vs Floyd. His boxing knowledge, technically, doesn't seem that great, but just a guy who kind of 'presents' the event.

Bias c*cksucker is the worst broadcaster in the sport.

My first and last post here is a public service announcement, and one that is sadly required for adults across all platforms of social media:

Bias is a noun. A person may have bias. A person may not be bias.

Knowing and remembering this will lend credibility to all brands of internet discourse - threats, baseless conspiracy theories, and garden-variety insults.

Damn, you made an account in April and this is your first post? Strong lurker. Post more, it's fun.

Hell, i guess I'm the only one that's a fan of Lampley here.. When you guy's say he's biased, what are you talking about specifically? Biased to who or what?

I was ok with Jim Lampley until around 2012, when Floyd and the rest of theHaymon fighters left and Pacquiao got KOed, that's when he really started to be extremely biased an unreasonable. Before that you'd always notice that he never fought before, but he didn't bother me that much and he saw and called things from ringside that the TV audience didn't see, he was also the voice of reason against Larry Merchant's senile grumpy ass. Since 2012 though he became the grumpy biased senile ass.

There is absolutely nobody more biased than Brian Custer. Not dis*****g Lampley isnt biased, but this guy is levels more ******ed than Lampley.
