He had more of a future as a commentator than a boxer at this stage. A boxer can usually make a comeback in time after a suspension or steroid controversy...but networks like a squeaky clean image before the camera.

Jim Lampley Arrested for Domestic Abuse
TMZ has learned that veteran sportscaster Jim Lampley was arrested this evening outside of San Diego, CA on felony charges of domestic abuse.
Police tell TMZ that Lampley, probably best known for his work on HBO boxing, posted his $35,000 bail and is awaiting his release from the Vista Jail in San Diego. He faces one felony count of domestic abuse / corporal injury, as well as two misdemeanor counts of violating a restraining order and preventing a witness from testifying.
Sources say that because of previous complaints, Lampley was arrested by an investigative team at his girlfriend's home in Encinitas, CA.
Lampley was once married to anchorwoman Bree Walker.

Seriously though...Lampley's a little harder to replace as a commentator than Tarver. HBO boxing without Lampley would be a shock to the fans...boxer/co-commentators are easier to replace.Last edited by jaded; 06-23-2012, 02:21 AM.

Simpson’s bust and accusations of murder a few years earlier in 1994.
Originally made famous as an NBA and NHL announcer in the New York area, Albert became known for coining the phrases, “Re-jected!” and “Yes!” and appeared to be the last guy the public would expect to do such a deed.
