What are your criticisms of the boxing programming at HBO/Showtime?

The original poster made an excellent point regarding HBO. Head of to new shores. It great when they are here in the UK etc but go to places like Japan , Australia or even South America.

Same could be said of Showtime.

I agree about Lederman, he is way off all too often these days. "Jim, I gotta tell ya..."....that you are showing signs of dementia? What are you trying to tell us Harold because none of us are seeing what you are seeing anymore.

I prefer Showtime a lot more than HBO. HBO these days has become somewhat irritating. By contrast I really like Bernstein, Tarver and Gray.

For me Larry Merchant is the only one left at HBO that I genuinely enjoy listening to. Lampley has become too noisy, babbles and is all ego and Manny Steward seems to be getting senile. Lederman is all over the place with his scoring unless it is a really obvious fight.

HBO is flashier, but it's more style over content.

Merchant is the best on HBO , i like you believe that Bernstein , Tarver and Gray do an excellent job , pity we cant have a bernstein and merchant partnership
