      I do miss Lampey a bit and Larry Merchant before he was canned for trolling Mayweather

      I see you like the fake.

        Lampley being taken away from boxing is excellent for the sport. Foo was clueless and would spread misinformation
        Roy was the only good one.

          I also missing the ole Harold RIP "OK Jim, 5 rounds to 3..."

          Lampley, I'm not missing his game tbh

          Atlas, Roy, Max as the MC would be game.
          Andre "S.O.G." Ward, Mikey Garcia & Keith "One Time" Thurman would destroy any commentators out there.

            The last years it was too much cheerleading but i prefer them better than the showtime announcers. I could absolutely not stand roid jones so it makes it easier not to miss them as much

                Lampley would've been hyping Ballers everytime Ruiz landed a hard shot and then acted like AJ was landing Tyson esque shots every time he landed. I don't miss him r the other HBO guys at all. RIP lederman but his card would have AJ up 4-2.

                I miss Tim Ryan from CBS. He'd have done a great call for this fight.

                    That was a huge moment in boxing history, the type of moment seasoned sports announcers dream of and the DAZN crew showed they don’t have a clue.

                    I felt like they just joined the audience in shock. The commentary at the end was basically like “wow Joshua actually lost.”

                    I can’t imagine that happening with Lampley who delivered us great calls in big moments. I go back and watch upsets on HBO and get chills, in part because of the memorable quote that goes along with it.

                    I still remember Lampley’s excellent calls when Rahman knocked out Lewis and when Foreman knocked out more. Now we’re stuck with Brian Kennedy.

                    What pissed me off the most I think it was BK or someone else didnt know was the score card should be after 2 knockdowns. Like really? if you gonna be announcing the play by play at least know wtf a score card would be when a fighter scores 2 knockdowns!

                    I almost want to start a petition to get that guy removed!

                      Depends. Nobody i know really knew about this fight and some bars dont have a smart tv so they dont have the dazn app. I streamed it and caught it in the 4th round. Missed the crazy 3rd round
