Do people on here still see what HBO tells them to

[Kel]

Wow so many times I see people come in here after a fight with the exact same retarded arguments made by the commentators on HBO. I am sick of people being so naive as to believe word for word everything that the commentators are saying. There are obviously guys HBO doesn't seem to like as much like Mayweather who can win most of the rounds and still have the HBO guys saying its a close fight (like against De La Hoya and Hatton), or they can hump the shit out of Wladimir and Oscar until their dicks are raw. Now both Oscar and Wlad are great fighters, but people have to stop listening to what these guys are saying like its the holy bible. Ledderman hasn't been a good judge in a few years, and Emmanual Steward may be a good trainer, but he is the most biased SOB I've ever seen.

Common people make decisions for yourselves.

Seriously mate, have some rep! Not only what you mention but people have said things out of magazines almost word for word sometimes which I have read the day before lol.

They cheerlead, its not a breaking story, the way its been for a while and it will continue to be.

Their ODLH commentary the other night was typical HBO cheerleading, like Amat said ODLH looked a bit old to me.

I actually like Lampley, I think he has a good voice for commentating on fights, but his knowledge is lacking and he is far to outspoken on his opinions.

I don't respect Larry Merchant, he trys hard to make classic summations, doesn't work.

I like Larry for his crazy comments and actions...Not for his commentating but he is good for a laugh...

EG-After Calzaghe Manfredo he actually said something to Joe about why he is fighting guys like Peter and not legit title threats....

Joe replied that it is not him who makes the fights but Warren...

Warren steps over to the Mic where they were talking and as he starts to say something Larry starts talking over him and actually refuses to let Warren talk...Then says outloud about Warren makind shitty fights and gave him a dirty look....I almost pissed my pants at the look on Warrens face....He was embaressed....The there is the classic when he attacked the fan......

You never know what he is going to pull after a bottle of Sneaky Pete in the dressing room

There is that element to it.
It's funny in that respect. Larry Merchant is as much of a "Howard Cosell" figure as our generation will ever have.

He is a throwback in the way he "interacts" with the sport.

I will miss Merchant when he's gone. Won't be the same.

Same with Lederman and his ridiculous nervous giggle and horrible scorecards.
