Just Re-watched Jones vs. Ruiz...Interesting lil detail

[SigmaMu]

Having watched the Jones Jr./Ruiz fight again I was surprised to hear a little HBO cast quarrel somewhere in the region of the 10th round. In this debate George Foreman lambasted both Merchant and Lampley for being "hypocrites," by promoting a fight and then turning on the runner up and taking away from the fights credibility. This really hit home for me as i find it incredibly similar to HBO's attitude toward the Hatton/Castillo fight. Both Ruiz/Castillo were forces to be reckoned with before the fight in all interviews, promotions and were mentioned severeal times in preceeding fights. To be honest although they do provide a good coverage, I personally am becoming increasingly frustrated with HBO's cast's attitude toward boxing. But all Props to Big George Foreman.

ok

Here is some interesting ranting at least the first 3 are funny

Why do Jim Lampley and Larry Merchant seem to dislike George Foreman -their previous partner- so much? - Yahoo! Answers

It has to do with what you have been saying.
