Thread: Enough w/ HBO Favortism!!!!

Hey guys,

I am new to the forums and need to vent a little so here we go. I love the sport of boxing and besides football is my fav sport to watch. I order the PPV fight Judah VS Mayweather, I been looking forward this fight for the last four years. I wasn't going for either fighter just wanted to enjoy a great boxing match.

HBO brings the best fights but I am sick and tired of them favoring their fighters and calling the fight more towards their fighter. A few years ago they did this big with DE la Hoya and with Roy Jones.

Saturday even before the bell have rang they were already knocking Judah and taking cheap shots.

All fight long they were calling the fight one sided and taking cheap shot after shot on Judah and this is way before the 10 round fiasco. There have been times in the past that they make it seem their fighter have won the round and when you watch it again with no audio its completely different you guys should try this is unbelievable this guys at HBO.

Larry Merchant is a piece of s h i t with his cheap shots. I remember I saw a Trinidad fight and he praise him like he was god him self(VS Mayorga). Then Felix Trinidad loses the next fight (winky) and talks about him like his garbage and a nobody. The guy is unbelievable, also Jim Lampley calling the fight one sided towards Mayweather and instigated the Low blow like crazy, i thought they were very unprofessional the way they calling the fights always one sided towards the HBO fighter and i just had about enough.

I must say lenox lewis did a ok job but it was funny how they try to persue him to say bad things about judah u guys should watch it again is unbelievable.

I do miss George Foreman he was the only real commentator thats why they got rid of him cause he spoke his mind and they cover it up making it all sound like it was George decision to leave.

Anyways SHAME ON YOU HBO!!!!! I am very disappointed.

since were talking about HBO commentators ...i was seriously thought it was tasteless for lampley to say toney was a fatt tub of goo ...thats mean lol i was like WTF? whys he bashing on someone whos fighting for a heavyweight title and won other divisions ..sometimes they are definatly out of line ...and boxing is by far one of if not THE hardest sport in the world u have to be so conditioned AND be able to take & give punches ...and have the mental stability to not be afraid & maintain for 12 rounds


welcome to the forum
