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 .
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
Bang Bang Bang Bang
Only calling punches "his fighter" is landing
PAC gets N now he's an advocate for testing... yet when Floyd was asking Manny for testing Steroids dont help in boxing
