    HBO Commentators

    Merchant and Lampley are some of the most biased commentators I've ever heard. I mean I've only heard them mostly commentate Jones fights, since I watch him more than anyone else. Are they this biased all the time or do they just not like Roy? I was glad that Foreman stepped in and spoke his mind about what they were saying about Jones..

      That's actually surprising considering RJJ did a lot of commentary work for them. Everytime I watch a RJJ fight on HBO, I think they favor him rather well, to be honest.

          Off the top of my head: Jones vs Johnson. I especially remember Emmanuel Steward riding that ****.

            Manny's different, but from what I watch Jones didn't get much credit, but I may of been taking it the wrong way?

              lampley is ok. it's a tough job preventing your biases to show towards certain fighters. merchant can be biased sometimes but it's steward that tends to show more of his than the two i think.

                from this post it sounds like you're talking about the ruiz fight. towards the end merchant started brining the fight down saying ruiz is nothing but a paper champion, yeah i like the way foreman stepped in and told them not to bring the fight down after it was such a big deal leading up to the bout.

                  Right. They kind of discredited Jones when they said that. Thanks for knowing what i'm talking about.

                    Have you ever heard Foreman commentate on a Trinidad fight? If you think Lampley and Merchant are biased... check out B-Hop vs Tito.

                    It became so bad that at one point both Lampley and Merchant had to tell George to shut up.
