Thread: Was Lampley Insensitive to Hatton's Ordeal?

I thought that Jim Lampley was a real jerk last night. Was it just me or was Lampley rubbing Hatton's nose in it by making cruel remarks?

Sure, I screamed "OH MY GOSH!" when Hatton went down. What boxing fan wouldn't be in awe of such a KO? But when I saw the close up of Hatton I got tears in my eyes. I was scared for him and was in no mood to make fun of his defeat.

BTW, I was just now able to sign on

One thing I have learned in life is that if you are going to pick on a man, make sure to do it when he's down.

BTW, i ate macaroni and cheese for dinner tonight and now I have acid reflux

Lampley has always struck as a condescending azz who likes his own voice a bit too much.

I noticed Merchant dropping some big words last night and Lamps would stop and repeat them

why did larry merchant miss an entire fight last night btw



did he go looking for a bathroom and get lost or something?

I am from a third world country.Didnt catch up a thing of what LAMPLEY said....or Merchant for that matter.Or HBO...Im so lazy now,tired from the celebs of Manny's victory.

please provide me of the link for LAMPLEY'S BROUHAHA...LOL Thanks in advance.

I didnt hear him say anything offensive, but maybe you heard something I didnt. Sure, the commentators on HBO can be @sses sometimes, but this is boxing. Its a business where a knockout is rewarded and you are encouraged to hurt the other guy. Nobody wants to see any fighter permanently injured though and Im sure that includes Lampley. When Hatton was laying there motionless, I too was concerned bout his health first and foremost. But when he was up and moving around, I turned my attention to Pac and watched the replay. The fight was not a tragedy, it was a victory. Not for Ricky, but it was for HBO.

Silverback,
I wasn't going to mention this but now that you brought up how you felt I'll tell you.

I did the usual lottery pick here at my house. $10 dlls. per round so I passed the cup around with each round on small piece of paper.

I got round #5 and my girlfriend got round #2.
I looked at her and said round 2 are you kidding me?
We has just spend 20 dlls. on the 2 rounds we picked.
I said to her I'm our only hope.

I sware, we ALL got our numbers. Except for a friend of mine who was running late and literally got here as Pac walked out. We all knew that round #1 was the last round left in the cup. So when he got there so he wouldn't be discouraged I just bummed rushed him and said here quickly before the fight starts it's the last number so he gives me the money and opens it and get's pissed he's like fuck this, this sucks. YOu guys suck you left me this piece of shit number.

DING! the fight starts all hell breaks lose when Hatton hits the canvas he was already standing up for the $120 dll. cash pot.

Round 1 ends and I tell my girl I think your gonna win it.

Sure enough as soon as the fight ends my girl starts yelling I won I won I won. I looked at her and said honestly I don't care about that right now as Hatton was on the floor and Bayless called in the Medics. I said I just want him to be well and then I see his eyes and my throat got dry I kept yelling WHERE THE FUCK IS THE OXYGEN? WHERES THE OXYGEN?

No fucken Oxygen. I really didn't care about the cash.

But once you knew he was ok you still wanted the cash right?

Bilbs,
By the time I was done worrying about Hatton my girl had already pockted the money.

I don't want to stir the pot too much but i'm really surprised at all the posts about how hatton was treated this weekend. I know that a lot of people like the guy and were upset when he lost but damn where was all this concern when darchiniyan got clocked, when khan got his ass kicked etc....something isn't wrong just because it happens to the guy you like. This is boxing guys hatton and his fans will get over it. Just say congrats and move on. Next people will be mad cause they didn't black out the arena secretly escort all the women and children out of the arena and hold a prayer service and vigil for the guy. Just imagine of floyd lost....my gawd how respectful everyone would be....

Way off Mar... You're comparing different fighters with different personalitys for starters, how can you not understand that it was the nature of the KO that has left this impression on people and not the simply the fact that he was KO'd.

If you look at 'Hatton Loss KO' on box rec that's not going to stir up any emotion, but if you see a human laying limp on a canvas, with vacant eyes gasping for air after hitting the mat like a ragdoll then of course you are going to be worried for their wellfair.

Luckily he is OK but people are talking about the treatment when we were uncertain.

Why talk about Khan etc? Khan got sat down, bounced back up, got sat down again and got counted out whilst TRYING TO STAND UP. Completely different... Compared to Hatton he was relatively conscious as opposed to 100% vacant.

I am going to change the title of this thread. I do not want to defend it anymore. I'm lazy like that.

Thank you so much for saying that. Their attitude stinks, because they happen to be fans and he got KO'd. I would never want a fighter to be seriously hurt. But that KO was totally enjoyed, and even more after i saw he was ok, and the cameras were all up his ass as he was leaving the arena with all his fans who flew over to see the massacre totaly quieted in disbelief. now that was priceless.

Cold...That was cold...

-neg repped for being a douche.

It was a nasty ko. If I really disliked a fighter or their idiot fans I might take some satisfaction in a KO. But your talk of a massacre and enjoying the KO before everyone knew he was of is kinda classless. Hence the neg rep.

For the record I've never been a big Hatton fan so you can't call me on that.

I think lampley is insensitive every fight he calls. He has me wanting to strangle him through the tv screen, every fight, due to his very biased commentary.
