Do you like Jim Lampley's commentating?

[K-DOGG]

Simple question.

Yeah, I like him. I've had to invest in a thesaurus since he replaced Barry Tompkins; but he's helped my vocabulary, so two gold-stars for Jimmy!

I'll take Lampley over the entire Showtime or BAD crew. He may be a cheerleader at times but he can make a great fight more exciting.

[{BrownBomber}]

Simple question.

yes, no fight is the same without it. He might say the ******est **** sometimes but he brings the best out in a fight.

"We've got a new heavyweight champion of the world... and he's an AMERICAN!!!"

"And Winky is BADLY hurt... really! Honestly! I'm not pretending at all!"


The HBO crew used to be good, but malaise is setting in badly. Anyone remember the days when Larry sounded like he actually gave a ****?

[-EX-]

I have no problem with Lampley.

[Manny_P]

he sounds pretty gheyish sometimes.

[maxorido]

No, Teddy Atlas is the man...

****!!!! teddy atlas....that mother****er never shuts the **** up. he just doesn't stop talking....when the action is high and someone is about to get ktfo he doesn't call the punches, he just keeps trying to get his half baked, philisophical bull**** points across as if it's some complicated science and we couldn't understand it the first out out of the five times he's mentioned it. ****!!! teddy atlas....i wish george foreman would have beat the **** outta that fake ass tough guy back in the day.

Hell, does anyone remember the last time Larry sounded sober? Maybe during Hopkins-Trinidad ... and before that ... maybe McCallum-Curry.

Agree with the other posters who are pro-Teddy Atlas. Regardless of his faults or his palooka-like accent, at least he is objective and managed to keep his mouth away from the wedding tackle of his favorite fighters, whoever they might be.
