HBO Needs A New Broadcast Team

Big George - You don't hook a hooker.

 

He did it before that for sure

Remember he got banned in one of the holy fights.. Maybe holy-bowe 3 when he jumped up and literally YELLED "Stop the fight!!!!."

Lamps told him to calm down and he said one f my favorite lines ever "I will NOT calm down! THIS man is going to end up in a PINE BOX"
Lol

 

After that, Foreman wasn't saying much. Lampley asked him why he was so quiet.

Foreman delivers one of his gems with "sometimes more is less, and less is more".

Lampley: Care to explain?

 

"Paul Williams is so avoided by fighters that he has frozen three divisions in fear"

"Right now Roy Jones is making Joe Calzaghe Look like a Washed-Up Felix Trinidad" {this is with Calzaghe raking Jones to the gut and winning the 2nd round}

"Most people feel you were ripped off against Ricky Hatton" {to Collazo}......."People who said Castillo was shot coming into this fight look pretty smart" {after Hatton beat Castillo}..........."Devon Alexander fought in an excellent professional style, without holding...." {more Hatton bashing, post Urango}

"How much longer are you going to go on fighting the Gary Locketts of this world"...{to Kelly Pavlik, with Pavlik coming off two wins over Taylor, yet supposedly running from Paul Williams}

"You do want to jab with a jabber, because you can disrupt your opponent, and thats what Rahman is trying to do here" {Klitschko lands a big right hand}


"The way for Hasim Rahman to beat Wladimir Klitschko is to turn it into a question of WILLS"........before adding..."The question is will that Klitschko jab sap Rock of his will before Rock has a chance to impose his own will"...{in other words.....Klitschko's a quitter, and Rock is the sort of guy who can win a battle of wills, unless you jab the indomitable will out of him first, or cut him, as Toney did}

"Seems to me that the real difference people see between you and Wlad is that you were tough. When you were knocked down, you tried your best to go on." {To Lennox Lewis, who once got knocked down and got back up. After 15 seconds or so}

Just some of the reasons why Kellerman needs to leave HBO.

 

Well Uncle Emmanuel who keeps an Irish 'squire' often counter-balances the 'flow' of Vanilla Ice so she's all's square. How about Republican Lampley's take on Barrera - Hamed?... that was a bit tense,.. talk about Big George,.. he did a good job putting a sledge-hammer through 'white-rage' that night, it was decent of him to do so,.. fair is fair Irishman,..hno:

 

that was outrageous, when he yelled that

 

Yep, they can keep the Brothers on, but the only star I'll ever give Max is, well....figure it out. It says a lot that 6'4" 260lb George Foreman is required to help balance the scales.

 

No, it wasn't, at least no any more outrageous than if he merely thought it.

There is no place for Hameds :bow: nonsense in boxing.

His loss that night was seminal. I'm no Barrera fan but he didn't half put an end to that wlah-khalaai-lam-sa-lul-a-khal nonsense.

The star of David weaves it's magic on the ringside bench, as the star of David says farewell to great britain for Cypress. Kellerman is a prison groupie, he kept his fantasies confined to his palace,..but same with Emmanuel,..''Top o' the morning to you house boy'' ,.. "Boss with your permission,....we never say that" replies Andy :crafty:........this is why we have search warrants, to reveal the truth :nono:.

 

Who is Andy?

Manny is no Tom. He just been around the game and knows white sweat comes no cheaper than black sweat....Max on the other hand thinks his Little Book Of Southpaw is Gospel. I think Max was frozen in fear when Tall Fall was himself frozen when he failed to protect against those Electrical Serges. Martinez got the invoice and did a job on Jin-Jin-Truck, much to Max's pleasure. Eye for an Eye, Southpaw for a Southpaw, and all that. Fall Paul had to go, but somebody was going to go with him, so they got that import license sorted out and made sure the books balanced.

Oddly as pachydermal as Lamps may seem, he is a lefty wing-nut when outside of his tuxedo.

I hate these types of topics because there is always someone unhappy with how their fighters were treated by X, Y, and Z as commentators.

The key is, stop listening to them tell YOU that they are the "authority" on boxing, and you will be much happier. If you think they are fools ringside, why do you let them dictate to you their own importance?

HBO's crew are entertainers, nothing more, nothing less. They are there to sell subscriptions, even if that meant they had to have Lamps surrounded by dancing naked midget women with little tiny boxing gloves on.

Of all those who opine on HBO, I think only Manny Steward stumbles into "unforgivable" territory as he IS representative of something more in boxing, and he shamelessly sells out his credibility regularly.

Otherwise it's a bunch of employees doing their job. And like a Taco Bell, there is a healthy turnover.

 

Oh shit,. you are aware that Andy Lee is bunked up with Emmanuel aren't ya?.. He took Andy in the way Kellerman took in the Harlem hammer,.. ^ now perhaps the above post makes sense.

 

:giggle::giggle:

 

Max is often terrible, and I agree with some of those - but the ones I left are just examples of you being a whiny bitch.

 

:: George lost it. They should have stopped that fight!!

 

</P>nonsense. To be critical of a man's faith is one thing, to openly mock it in the context of a boxing match is absurd.

Imagine if during Mayweather/Manfredy, a hypothetical arab blow-by-blow man had shouted "Angel Manfredy is learning that Jesus is spelled M-A-Y-W-E-A-T-H-E-R!!!!" you would be outraged about it

It was a tasteless remark, Naseem Hamed is not the living embodiment of every single Arab person on Earth

 

Once again, you aren't comparing apples and apples.

How many Hamed performances were there on HBO?

How many of them did Lampley do the commentary for?

How many of them involved Hamed openly introducing not just overt Religious themes in general, but overt Islamic themes in particular??

Hamed had steadfastly ramped up that Islamic jibberish for the Barrera fight in particular, a sure sign he was worried or scared about it. He cracked the joke about Green Lambskin/Goatskin Gloves- Green for Islam, Lambsking signifying the Lamb or Goat whose "throat is slit" in honour of Allah.

He did something I have never seen ANY fighter of ANY religious or ethnic stripe do- he specifically approached the MC and got him to read not just basic religious nonsense, not even just basic Islamic nonsense, but the single most threatening and imposing tenet of Islam: There is ONE God, and Mohammed Is His Messenger.

Is that Hameds opinion? Fine. But he keeps it to himself. Once he went on at length, once he went on about how whatever happened was GOD's WILL then he exposed himself to mockery. He forced that shit and it got forced back at him. So be it. Hamed was NOT mocked openly about his faith, if he was, what took Lampley so long? Hamed brought it up onto boxings level. Not Lampley. All Lampley did was make fun of swinging-missing-God-Wills-It midget who had said that if he lost, it was Gods Will. So be it. God Willed B-A-R-R-E-R-A.

Lampley drank the blood, the blood of lamb, from Hameds tract. He drank it up. Draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiinnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggge. Drain-Dry. I'm so sorry.

Of course, Foreman, the elder salesman of Religious piffle, and a man who dragged Religion up when it suited his Jimmy Young inspired travails back in the day.........was offended. Well now, there's pretty for you. One old huckster being offended by what was happening to another. Hucksters Honour, eh? Honour Amongst Hucksters. The Benevolent Order Of Hucksters. {B.O.O.H}

Now.... Floyd Mayweather is a Christian. Angel Mayfredy is a Christian. So thats one difference. Secondly, when did Floyd ever get Buffer to read out specific religious excerpts? When did he get Buffer to ever read out excerpts, passages, suras etc from a creed or religion which he KNEW were anathema to his opponent, the majority of the fans in the arena, the majority of the fans watching on TV in the USA? When did ANY fighter get ANY MC to read out this "I am the Lord Your God, You Shall Not.....etc" nonsense???

Hamed brought that shit up onto Lampleys level and Lampley basically told him to eat, shit, and die.

 

Still, it's Lamps job to stay professional in a situation like that.

 

he answered bad taste with bad taste, no excuse

also, Hamed loved to be the bad guy, be outrageous and obnoxious, that was his schtick... dont take it so seriously

 

Lampley is unprofessional for sure, but i think that particular remark had more to do with his thirst for the cock of barrera than any religious agenda against hamed.

 

Irish takes everything really seriously.

 

Yeah, good call. Jim still gets choked up every time MAB is mentioned.

 

true

 

the guy was in the sportsbook the night before the mayweather jr. - ortiz fight when some guys came up and asked him something about barrera and morales, and of course Limpley went on to mention how barrera was the smartest fighter he'd ever encountered.

 

Ah yes, yes he diddah, yes he diddah. He saw that Andy was mystified by the recent panic in the Irish economy and took him in. Andy tried to fool Vera with that song and dance routine, 2nd times a charm, many thanks to that clown in Texas and his Man-Wife for their timely assistance. As for that other case, they say it was the Butler in the Pantry with the Hammer.

 

There was no agenda against Hamed. He just got flipped off over Hamed hijacking the event with his religious vulgarisms.

 

There are two ways to take things.

1. Seriously.

2. Up the Ass.

You must be the 2nd kind of guy.:limp:

 

Fine. But lets not accuse Lampley of bigotry or such like. He met vulgarity head on. No biggie.

 

bit rigid

 

He got excited in the heat of the moment. IT HAPPENS IT HAPPENS!!!
