HBO Commentary trivia!!

"Sure he has one speed and is one dimensional but that's some dimension(or speed??)."

Who was Merchant talking about and in what prefight?

 

I'm guessing Pacman?

 

Correct.

"However"

There is dispute as to whether Mayorga truly said this. Some have said that Mayorga actually said "His hair is hard" or "His hair hurts" which refers to how Forrest had his hair twisted at the time. Mosley complained in both fights that Vernon's hair was sharp on the end and felt like barbed wire.

 

Name the fight...

"What started out as a joke, has turned into a disaster."

TFK

 

FAN MAN fight?

 

Not him.

 

Drago Vs. Appollo Creed

 

Drago vs Creed

 

"We we got tonight, is junk."

another broadcast...

"Let me talk to the fighter. Shut up or I'll cut off this interview!!!!"

- Larry Merchant

 

He said it (at least) twice, but the more infamous occasion being Jones-Frazier/Shane-Golden Johnson card.

Brewster-Wlade Da Di uno

 

Which fight was it where Larry manhandled a guy who interfered with his interview, sending both the guy and his own hair flying! ::

 

Zaragoza-McCullough.

"HE WUZ ROBBED"... Whoosh! :laughing:

 

Larry - "Hide the women and children, if any of them are still awake"

Jim - "I don't know about you, Larry, but the kinda women I know love this stuff"

 

damn, I guessed three in a row AND nobody's yet to answe the last one I offered. Thread's outta control!!!

 

Camacho Jr- James Leija?

 

Yes, I remember that. They said it was lost in the translation.

 

Tito-Vargas

 

#1 - Incorrect

#2 - Correct

 

#1 - Incorrect

#2 - Incorrect

 

Perhaps if you got one correct, we'd answer yours. ::

 

You need to rewatch both fights, then, because he offered the same exact quotes.

For #1, my revised guess is a Margarito/Raffy Marquez B.A.D. doubleheader in Jan. 2004. Forget the opponents, but all you need to know about how shitty the card was. And it was "WHAT we got tonight...:" But he did say the same thing after Jones-Frazier (Jan 1999) because he started in again with the "this is junk" nonsense a few weeks later during Ibeabuchi-Byrd

#2, again, maybe he said it more than once (Camacho-Leija apparently being the other time), but he without a dobut said it after Brewster-Wlad I as well. Merchant was yelling at Brewster's crew, who was rowdy, and Lamon even apologized on their behalf, saying that they were just overexcited about the win.

 

If it ain't what I meant...it ain't right! :warning:

:tease:

 

did i at least get #1 right, in your mind, this time around? ::

 

Jake,

I can't place it. I'm assuming it's probably a heavyweight fight (and probably two plodders), but all I can guess is a fight like Toney-Rahman.

Similar to one of my earlier quotes: "It's like big dog aganist a smaller dog" which he said during Mosley-Brown.

 

:laughing:

So that's why he punched that woman in the face.

 

Not sure if anyone attempted to answer this one. The answer was DLH-Kamau. After the fight, they interviewed Camacho and DLH ringside and they were high-fiving each other and Lampley tried to act like one of the fellas and got denied.

Here's a question (I think this is right): when did Lampley drop Queen Latifah's name as a neighbor of his?

Another one: during which fight did he say he hung out with Jay-Z? (I think he called him a "cool" guy.)

 

Larry Merhcnat: "He has 2 punches. Pitty and Pat"

 

Ibeabuchi-Tua

 

Damn, the Queen LaBeefa one isn't ringing a bell.

The second one was Floyd-Zab, and if I'm not mistaken, he bragged about it for upwards of a minute into the round after Jay's face appeared on-screen

 

Yep.

It was a similar situation with the Queen when they showed her on-screen at Radio City Music Hall.
