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

[Althugz]

I remember I always used to get a kick out of HBO commentary. Just felt more authentic for a big fight but their bias is getting real boring, real fast!

Lederman has always been insane with his scoring. For example - Scoring the Oscar De La Hoya vs Molina fight for Molina when it was clearly Oscars fight.

Chavez vs Mayweather gave Chavez the first 2 rounds?? Insanity..and even the Lewis v Akinwade fight I noticed he gave Akinwade one of the first 3 rounds! LOL.

Ok he used to be insane but scoring against DLH was at least neutral. Now HBO's bias is getting boring. The JMM vs Pac fight was insane. Lederman, Lampley and Steward verbally felating Pac for things that aren't happening. It took Kellerman to calm these old folk down by saying "look I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the judges see it the opposite of you guys" (Good call on Kellerman btw - he's always been quite solid in my book)

Larry Merchant comes up with a gem every hour or so but he's like the naughty kid who just pipes up every so often. He needs time to think..a LOT of time.

Replace Steward with Roy Jones..why hasn't this happened yet?? Maybe because he's still active. Tarver as well has been great..charismatic boxers do a great job of explaining what's happening in a fight.

I'd say for the most part HBO could keep things the way they are if they weren't so damn biased! But Lederman is really only there for "ooooookay Jim.." these days

That HBO quits being the Haymon Boxing Organization. I'm sick of Al Haymon's fighters getting overpaid and overhyped.

Jones , Kellerman and Larry should make up the HBO team. Bob Papa isn't all too bad either.
