I really don't even care that Jim gets caught up in the moment, but he invents shit. I've seen guys land a 3 punch combo and his boy misses a right and somehow that sequence turns into "BIG LEFT HAND BY BARRERA!".

ha, infvckindeed.

you mentioned barrera as his biggest mancrush earlier. Hes certainly had his share.

seems to me what's changed is the most insane, cringeworthy cheerleading he has done since barrera has been for then-hbo darling pacquiao, in the desperate attempt to resuscitate the 36 minute corpse that was the clottey fight.

sad thing is at least with barrera i actually got the impression that was just a fighter he genuinely loved, not just the dude he was trying really hard to shill

Jim Lampley must go......He's no Howard Cosell, get that old man a gold watch already and retire, his time had passed. HBO need a fresh crew, and add Andre Ward & Keith Thurman for fighters analyst.

Its time to bring HBO boxing back, because they are definitely not the top network for boxing the past couple years.

Sod?

The British lingo on this board makes me giggle. Where do you guys come up with this crap? It's like the white euro alternative to american ghetto slang.

They're definitely the top American Boxing network in every way. No disputing that.

When Larry was around they were the champions of idiotic sh!t. Jim would hype missed punches & Larry would randomly go into some bs about Mark Twain or Harry Truman.

Seemingly not giving any f#cks they would sh!t on the fight their boss had purchased to air on HBO. If I'm a boss I fire those mfers the 2nd time they do that after coming within an inch of knocking one of their f#cking asses out the 1st time it happened. Larry being gone has helped steer them in the right direction, but Jim's retardation lives on thru his commentary & by him being the worst host of a boxing show in the history of boxing shows in the last 30 years (not really saying much cuz their ain't been a lot of boxing shows in that time, but don't let that fool you into believing he wouldn't still be the worst host if their were 100 shows over that period).

Also its f#cking hilarious this mfer is so delusional he probably don't see the irony in sh!tting on Floyd with his own history. Its like the disturbingly overweight guy on a bus yelling about someone needing to wipe their ass.
