Good on Lampley for signing to a shady organization that will probably crash and burn in like 2 years and doesn't have any visible plan in regards of boxing besides burning tons of money on freak show events and purse bid fights.
I never really fukked with Lamps anyway so w/e... he could be just as biased as the guys currently calling the fights just with a better voice for calling the fights.
So no HBO nostalgia from me here. But I came to like the sport when HBO boxing was in its last 5-10 years, maybe that also explains it. I miss their production quality and their professional shoulder programming, only Showtime competes with that. Their announcing team though? Not so much.

shyt id rather listen to lampley than listen to len-nox lewis and joe goossen miss the action because they were rambling on some stupid shyt or mispronounce words..perpetually bad commentary only second to grisham and mannix
the question is who will be working that booth with him?

To be fair though in these last few years the other paltforms picked up more on the shoulder programming too, the production is still the best at Showtime though, these things that ESPN and especially FOX and DAZN bring to try to do to revolutionize the watching experience of a fight are not really working. Weird, bothering angles, live punch count and etc... Showtime just keeps it classic

I'd rather have that Beterbiev unification, thank you.
What Jacobs wants at 175 anyway. Dude been fighting like a C level fighter since he moved up to 168. Idk if it's the lack of hunger or his age showing but going even further up to fight Smith doesn't seem like a great idea. Vlasov gave Smith all he could handle but Vlasov has been a cruiserweight before, works a lot and awkward as fukk. Jacobs might very well be done by Smith like Hart and Alvarez. Last time Jacobs struggled with Rosado who's been around as a journeyman/fringe contender forever.

Pushing a Smith Jacobs fight to the fall means we wouldn't get a unification with Beterbiev until next year, which sucks.
I do think that Smith Jacobs would sell pretty well in NYC, plus Smith gets to make a title defense while letting Beterbiev age a bit more.
I'm taking Smith in that fight. As crude as his skills are, i do not see Jacobs standing up to Joe's power, or being elusive enough to avoid it.

Beterbiev could fight Bivol until then. Probably won't happen cause it'd make too much sense but hey

its funny how he's brought up every now and then...now for those who are confused about what chinny is (which several ppl seem to be lately), this guy was chinny...definition
mitchell vs banks 1 was a lick if you bet on this fight since banks was the underdog...damn near everyone who was posting here at the time was calling that upset
mitchell vs banks 2 - banks was trying his damndest not to knock him out..the problem was everytime banks hit mitchell with some shyt, mitchell looking like he was slippin on some ice..this was not on the level..banks could have easily repeated this upset but went in the tank
mitchell vs arreola - the fukking odds of the fight going more than 2 rounds paying off if you did a prop bet
