I think he did that with Lomachenko in reference to prove his vast experience as an amateur and that even though it was his first fight, he is skilled far beyond that. Plus he did add on many comments regarding other skills of Lomachenko letting the audience know (hyping) that he isn't some prospect to watch out for, this is a skilled guy who should become a top guy in the division.
The thing about Max that I notice the most is not his boxing commentary, I think he does a great job, but he is trying to fill the role of Larry Merchant's sage advice...and it doesn't work...that was Larry Merchant's personality and reputation. Seeing Merchant in the Ward-Gatti doc was :banderas:.

I still don't understand the Lampley hate. Yes he does shill for HBO, but so do the Showtime guys (more so IMO), but his ability to control the commentary and be on point, there is no one better. I think too many people try to dissect every word he says (and forget he is the lead for HBO's agenda), but his ability to be that lead man on the broadcast is amazing.


How you can even compare Lampley to anybody at SHO :mindblown:

Bang Bang Bang Bang:stopitslime:

Only calling punches "his fighter" is landing

PAC gets :deadmanny:N now he's an advocate for testing... yet when Floyd was asking Manny for testing Steroids dont help in boxing

:heh: Sounds like your deflecting but ill play along since I got some time before I hit the gym. (BTW A gym is where you got to work out at and get in shape since judging by your flabby, womanly hands you have never seen one before!)

Save myself ? From what ? You posted a pic of your fat, baby soft looking ass hands online because you were so insecure about yourself that what some other nikkas said , who you dont even know hurt your feelings. Now Im a fakkit because I cant help but notice your hands (outside of looking like a fat ass oreo with the bottom missing) look soft and feminine?

Whatever you say Uncle Ruckus, you just salty because that BHOP video nailed your casual fan ass to the fukking tee.
I aint never seen a nikka with fat rolls on his hand:bryan:

  • :heh: I worked in a fully equipped fitness center for four years please don't think you're schooling me on anything when it comes to excercising when I can do over 150 diamond pushups straight 20-25 overhand pull ups.. now thats pretty fukking good for a nikka who fluxuates between 185-200 lbs.. ya boy is actually a physical specimen. I would post a pic or a clip to prove this too but some of you faggit queer nikkas like you and Skihat would be trying to analyze how soft my skin is or visualize me covered in baby oil and shyt.... The only reason I posted a picture was because someone asked me to
  • prove I was black.. has nothing to do with being insecure just never thought nikkas would be beating off to picture of my hand talking bout it reminds them of a women :deadmanny:
:banderas:

How about 385-485

Prov vs Manny is the only fight I'll accept going forward for Prov, he'll ruin Bradley/Rios, and there is no need for unnecessary rematches

Guess I am not sure what you are referring to, if it is negativity or positivity for Showtime. I can't stand their announcing team at all. Bernstein is great, but he is at his best in freestyle talking, being interviewed, and in documentaries. He is solid in calling fights. Mauro is horrendous and I Paulie isn't much better. I actually wish they gave Farhood more time in the main broadcasts...

Three weight World Champion James Toney is among the first names announced for the Britain vs. USA Prizefighter International Heavyweights bill at the York Hall in Bethnal Green on Thursday November 14, with Anthony Joshua MBE topping the bill in his third pro fight. Toney joins fellow countryman Sherman ‘The Tank’ Williams, Prizefighter II winner Sam Sexton and the returning Larry Olubamiwo as the first four names revealed in the line-up for the 32nd edition of the eight-man, one night tournaments.

Olympic Gold medal hero Joshua is in action in Sheffield this weekend (October 26) and will return to the capital for his third pro bout, and he’ll be joined on the card by his cousin Ben Ileyemi, who made his debut at Cruiserweight on the same bill Joshua at The O2 earlier this month.

“Word got out this morning that James Toney was in the line-up and it’s already caused some reaction,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “Heavyweight Prizefighter is always the most exciting edition of the tournament and we are looking forward to selecting the final four participants. It’s also great to have Anthony back in the capital as he continues his journey in the division and we expect a quick sell out for the November 14 event.”
:wtf:

HBO Broadcast team shyts all over showtime.....:birdman:


Lampley=Bernstein IMO
Wasn't Prov one of Manny sparring partners??
Yes, rumors are he softened Manny up for JMM pre knokout, forcing Arum to chastise Manny publicly about him looking like shyt...............

Bad match for Manny, but Prov fought himself into the Manny sweepstakes, which is why Roach abandoned him. Regardless it's put up or shut up time for Manny if he gets passed Rios, unless he want to fight another fighter coming off a L....

I think he said "blood"
I thought I heard him say black...but obviously that means black as if it is internal organ bleeding it would probably appear as such.
Either way. :wow: We all saw the beating Bradley took in that fight, but he laid devastation on Prov too. I don't remember what round, but I swear Bradley rocked him in one of the rounds.
