Lampley was at his best in the "and ANOTHER right hand!!" category. Rewatching the fight and attempting to correlate Lampley's blow-by-blow to the actual action was eye-opening to say the least. DLH was always known for the "made for TV" flurries, like he did to pull out the fight versus Ike Quartey. Combine that with Lampley's overzealousness and HBO's love affair with the Golden Boy, and you've got a recipe for biased commentary.
