Was Lampley Insensitive to Hatton's Ordeal?

[bcollins]

Lampley was very concerned at the way Hatton was being handled when he was unconscious. This idiot is bothered when Lampley at the end said to Stewart was'nt it inconceivable to think that Mayweather could turn Hatton into a boxer ?. Then when lamps was showing the slow mo he said "here comes the left, and hatton falls in a perivial heap". This is what this guy is bothered by. Rule #1 in boxing dont fall in love with the boxer this way you wont be over sensitive to everything thats said about your fighter.

Isn't there a saying about people who live in glass houses?

Anyway, BG isn't an idiot by any definition of the word. Respecting other people usually gets you respect in turn.

Dont fall in love with the fighter you like. It really stinks that if you even rejoice a little bit about Manny knocking Hatton silly it becomes as if you're insulting someones mother or girlfriend. If you express that the way Hatton was Knocked unconscious was special, its a crime around here. I love the sport of boxing, and i love brutal KO's. Everytime your favorite fighter steps into the ring he could be brutally ko'ed its part of the game we love so much. So all im saying is dont take it personal if im thoroughly enjoying the way he was ko'ed, after all he's just fine and have 12 million reasons to be happy.

I fall into this category as well, but it really isn't very cool to keep blabbering on about it. You seem to be contradicting your own advice to not take it personally - you act like you have something personal against Hatton. It's one thing to enjoy seeing a KO of the quality we saw in this fight - it's another thing to treat the fighter on the receiving end of that KO with no respect whatsoever.

Have you ever been brutally KO'd? My guess is no, because if you had, chances are good you would talk about it with a much higher degree of respect, rather than gloating like you were the one doing the punching.
