At least more people agree with me on Diaz winning this fight than they do with Shane Mosley beating ODLH in the second fight. I'm kind of on an island there But in a way I think the fights had some similarities, maybe not that many but some. One guy gets slobbered on by the HBO crew every time he does anything even though most of the time he's not really landing and while the other guy doesn't land that much either he landed the cleaner more effective punches. Although Mosley hurt ODLH more than Diaz hurt Malignaggi.
I also thought Mosley beat Oscar in the 2nd fight after I watched without Lampley & Merchant slobbering all over Oscar's balls, not that they have ever influenced a viewing audience with their comms (see Oscar-Mayweather, Oscar-Hopkins, in fact most fights he's had)

I think people get affected way more by commentary than they're willing to admit.
Yep.Have never seen the total outrage.The commentary by Lampley was at times an exercise in calling phantom punches.He does it quite often and usually watch the replay Sunday morning after...."BIGGG RIGHT HAND" blah
