While HBO's crew wasn't saying that haye was winning the first 3 rounds (in fact Lederman scored it 2-1 Wlad after 3 rounds and Lampley and Merchant would have agreed), Lampley was excited at Haye punches that missed.

On multiple occasions Merchant told Lampley he was wrong. Lampley got excited at a few attempted punches by Haye (as did the Brits in the crowd). Merchant pointed out that nothing landed. A right hand landed and Lampley started getting excited which seemed to insinuate that it did something. Merchant pointed out it didn't do any damage.

At one point Haye landed a right hand then did nothing to follow up. Didn't even attempt a punch for around 40-45 seconds. Merchant said something like, landed a right hand and followed up with...... (pause like only merchant can) NOTHING.

Even when Haye lands a decent shot during the fight it is hard to give him the round (i only gave him 2 rounds).
