I got nothing against Lampley, as I think he's the guy that bring the telecasts together for HBO. He may not be a good "blow-by-blow" commentator, but his talent is bringing out the best in the commentators around him. It's his job to start the proceedings... and it's his job to sum up the proceedings at the end of the night.


But during the Froch-Groves fight Lampley committed a mistake, then refused to own up to it, sounding stupid in the process. It was the 7th round, and Groves connected what was clearly a hard jab on Froch. Lampley promptly calls it a big left hook. Both Kellerman and Roy Jones immediately corrected him, saying it was really a jab. Whereupon Lampley, not to be shown up says... "It was a crooked enough jab to be called a hook." As if connecting a jab with your elbow bent makes it a hook.


Nothing major, but damn Jim... you screwed up a bit on that one.
