Tired of Jim Lampley and Larry Merchant

[j]

kellerman is good.

WRONG.

that black guy on BAD is TERRIBLE

correct - kermit the frog would be better suited working on the golf channel.

Jim is good but Emanuel Steward I think should take Larry's place. Steward is smarter and has a more exciting delivery.

incorrect, nobody can take merchants place. now, manny, he is pretty good. unlike lewis or jones jr, he offers many good insights. unlike lewis and jones jr, after he gives his take on something he actualy says why he had stated what he had stated.

I find it very strange that Merchant complains about fights being boring. He's not exactly encouring people to buy the next PPV. It also gets a little tiresome if you're watching a fight that you're actually enjoying, and he's groaning about the pace or whatever.

one more thing, is it just me, or does harold lederman sound more and more like an ass with each passing show?

[Eno]

I think Jim Lampley overuses some of the same phrases way too much. Like this one where he is like:
Winky Wright pumps his fists as to say. Blah blah blah.

You guys know what i mean?

i understand what you're saying, but do like i do if a commentator gets a bit on my nerves - watch the fight and pretend your sitting ringside or something similar. it takes a little of the focus off of paying attention to the commentary.

yup, just like lennox's "definitely" or "absolutely."

except merchant doesn't bother me as much.

I agree it shouldnt be a big deal but you just made another point in that they sometimes seem to be trying to sleal the show from the fighters...... I re-watch the fights without the sound for that reason and because it's easier to see what's going on.

I like Larry!- Rockin'

I like Larry but he more then anyone sounds like he hates being at the fight . Maybe it's just his voice or maybe he's lost love for the sport, I don't know. But when they tell us Barrett has never beat anyone worth mentioning you are telling the part time fans and non fans that the fight is not worth watching. It not only hurts the sport but it also then hurts HBO and the fighter named.

Larry don't like watch boring fights aka ruiz. Remember when larry bash stone? that was a classic.

Larry Merchant is a HATER.... and he worry about the wrong things, The judah mayweather fight.... he sitting there going on about how much Judah spent on his gold teeth or w.e, That aint got **** to do with the fight. Iono iont like dude, he always got somethin slick/smart to say
