[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - It's not always indicative, but it helps. So, while sports history is littered with en****** that rose up to produce greatness after inglorious stretches, it's surely more comforting to approach a career-defining night while on a roll.

"HBO Mic Crew Hits Stride"?
I thought Lampley did an atrocious job on Saturday.
The broadcast was exciting and enjoyable despite Lampley, not due in-part to his commentary. IMO.

Max Kellerman is terrible. Typical *** just handed a job who is not really experienced or qualified for it. People keep pretending he's qualified, so they aren't called the most terrifying of words - anti-semitic. He's horrible. We all know it.

Lampley is the best at his job. It's *** Max Kellerman who is terrible - stop it.

Also got handed that First Take job. He's never covered any sport besides boxing (he doesn't really cover boxing as a journalist) but he was handed that job. Every show he's been on has seen a rating decrease and every show he's left has seen a ratings increase. He's not only unqualified he's also not any good.

If you think he's unqualified, that's fair. However, your anti- semitic comments are unnecessary and disturbing.

I'm not really sure what status Ward has exactly. Maybe part-time HBO announcer? I enjoy both crews whether it be Ward or Roy.

I watched a HBO broadcast for the first time in a while for the Superfly card and holy **** it was bad
