You’re just getting older is all. The aura is there for the youngsters.
It has been 6 years since HBO stopped airing boxing. I miss it dearly. HBO called some absolute BANGERS back in the day. (Vargas vs Trinidad)

I don't even watch HBO like that anymore but I truly miss HBO boxing. DAZN, Showtime, and ESPN can't produce at the same level. It's a night and day difference in quality. Hell even 24/7 was incredible in building the story arc of the fights.

They stuck to long with Manny Steward and Larry Merchant. Towards the end they spent more time hating them promoting the sport.

I remember George Foreman going off on Floyd Mayweather for being afraid to fight Shane Mosley, Diego Corrales and Carlos Baldomir
And then Floyd proceeded to clear all 3 of them out
Yeah, Lampley's voice, signature phrases and eloquent summary of the fight, always made it memorable and epic. The credits were even amazing with the highlights playing and the HBO boxing theme in the background.

Man, I really miss HBO boxing.
When things are centralized in the right way, like an HBO Boxing, it's overall really good for the sport.
Vargas was too young for Trinidad, but that ended up being a great fight.
It's overlooked, but that Vargas fight took a lot out of Tito man.
One of the best "roller coaster" fights of all-time.
Them low blows were complete BS though.

At the end of Roy Jones-Richard Hall
Lampley: Thank god the ref finally stopped the fight!
Merchant: The referee should be pistol whipped for not stopping it sooner!
