Yeah, but you have to realize that these HBO announcers still work for HBO. Back then when Oscar fought, HBO clearly had an agenda to push the cash cow (De La Hoya) to superstardom. So the announcers might have imbelished a bit to make sure the audience knew Oscar was winning.
absolutely. lampley is just backing the HBO guy. mayweather is their boy. and he's gonna win anyway, IMO. Golden Boy is gonna cry like a nino.
