Yup. HBO's commentary was different and unique. It invited you into a story. It got you emotionally invested while still focusing on the punches. But they did an exceptional job in presenting fighters and fights. I'm going to miss HBO Boxing and the content it produced such as 24/7 and Face-Off. It was my favorite boxing network because it was classy, its video quality, commentary, its whole package was top notch. Gonna miss you HBO Boxing.

Originally posted by MastrangeloRoy would be perfect for DAZN (HOPEFULLY ISN'T TOO LATE TO GET RID OF RAY LEONARD!), Max should replace Kriegel (Who is poor men's Max Kellerman anyway) on ESPN, where he works anyway.
As for Max and Kriegel, also agree. Kriegel just comes off as trying to be too wise or literary in his analysis. Max seems to have a more legitimate passion and knowledge of the sport.

Well, I will be cancelling my HBO. Only thing I watch are series like Game of Thrones and boxing on HBO. It's a shame, I grew up watching both Showtime and HBO boxing.
I ditched my friend's wedding reception to watch Lewis and Klitschko throw bombs at each other in Lennox's last fight.
So many Arturo Gatti and Angel Manfredy memories on HBO. Going back further I remember rooting for Oba Carr fight the elite 147lbers only to end up disappointed with the result.
I will miss you HBO.

Originally posted by MisanthropicNY View PostI will only miss Jim Lampley. Larry Merchant was already gone. Max Kellerman and Roy Jones are biased and horrible anyway. Andre Ward is a joke. B-Hop doesn't say much. FK HBO. I'm glad Feminism took down that biased commentary team anyway.
Boxing should be on free tv!

Originally posted by Mcphilly84 View PostWhat a great article - the best so far about the loss of HBO. Showtime and ESPN are putting out better, more consistent fights, though no one has the voices of Lampley, Kellerman or Lederman. I hope to see these three commentating somewhere else in the future.
