Has anyone noticed HBO announers...

Lampley is just outrageous now.He's borderline comical with his constant defence and trumpeting of the favored house fighters.I'm not sure where he got his medical degree or his amazing ability to diagnose serious injuries while sitting ringside based on merely what a fighter says to his corner man but its reckless and unnecessary.Berto expresses pain,his corner says oh it hurts and within an instant Lampley is talking in terms of Berto tearing tendons and dislocation with certaint,etc.Call the fight Lamps and stick to punches that LAND....by BOTH guys...dont worry so much about covering guys backsides because they are having a tough go of it at times.Its just cheap.....Poor Merchant literally lost himself in mid sentence a few times.He makes some good point but arriving there seems like its a choir.

I watch the fights with the sound off now.

Merchant as been losing it for a while now. I really started to dislike the guy a while ago... with his side anecdotes and analogies that never quite stick, contemplative dramatic before pauses and laughing at his own jokes. Even at that, I suppose he is still less annoying that Kellerman.

Letterman is pointless putting his spin on things.. "I gotta tell you Jim, the way (insert HBO fighters name here) keeps moving around the ring to avoid the action and frustrate his opponent is masterful, blocking those jabs with his face to save his hands for later is BRILLIANT! "

Ever notice how the one guy that actually knows something about being in the ring (Foreman, Steward, Etc.) has to endure this questioning and hazing BS from those other guys.

At least Lampley left out the BANG BANG BANG BANG stuff this time...
