Do people on here still see what HBO tells them to

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.

Same thoughts here.
