Would you prefer Jim (phantom punch) Lampley?
your joking?

Jim Lampley is a great commentator !

If I was HBO (BAD) i would be looking for Dan Derdorf, Bobby Czyz I would be on my hands and knee's begging for Freddie Pacheco . I mean seriously anyone would do ! Bert Sugar for Christ sakes LOL
So you don't have to rack your brain too much, I'll give a quick example: watch the Wright vs Taylor fight again twice. One on mute and the other w/o. There were so many shots that Winky blocked that Lampley gave him credit for that you would actually think Taylor won by landslide. If Taylor would really have landed all those shots, Winky would have been knocked out. He's not always bad but there are times that I just have to mute him.
I think Jim Lampley is pleasing to the ear and does a tremendous job coordinating the commentary. One of the best sports announcers out there . Your right about being swayed by commentary , But all fights are swayed by commentary . it’s the commentators point of view, sometimes you share their point of view, and sometimes you don’t . I usually go into every fight favoring one fighter over the other, and tend to pay attention to my fighter regardless of commentary. So I usually watch the fight again to get a a real feel for a what happened in the bout. . Also if I am scoring a bout I like to break each Round into 3 parts 1st min, 2nd min,3rdmin and add the total and you get the winner for that round keeps you from being swayed by a impressive 20 min rally at the end of a round from a fighter who was losing 2min :40sec of that round. People tend we remember the end of rounds and not the beginning of rounds .
