Re: What are your criticisms of the boxing programming at HBO/Showtime?
Get rid of Harold Lederman!!
He is obviously an in house judge but damn!! The guy is so jaded in his scoring its ridiculous.
The most annoying thing about his scoring is his inconsistent reasoning about why he gives fighters rounds.
For example:
- Marquez Vs. Pacquiao - Lederman explaining his scores in the mid rounds saying that when a punch count is equal (it was right after a round that they both landed 10 punches) you have to give the round to the more aggressive fighter (Manny) He said it several times about how JMM's style is not appreciated by judges who like himself favor the agressive agressor.
Ok Harold we will accept that reasoning, a few weeks later we have exibit B
- Cotto VS Margarito -Mid rounds Lederman yells for joy saying "to all the boxing purists who ask if a fighter can win a fight while running away I say the answer is yes!!"
Fire Lederman!!
