I couldnt agree more, I thought of it watching the PPV, wtf? They're interviewing Jacobs??

Yeah I thought this was odd. At the time I had guessed no intepreter was available.

It amazes me how Ross Greenburg still has a job.

Well, we did pay for a GBP card. (Well, some of us did.)

I mean - GBP wouldn't even pay for a third announcer.

It was an HBO card, they choose who was commentating that night, the fight in September will be solely run by Golden Boy.

yep

Like the blog says, "HBO's obligation is to the viewer not Golden Boy."

You got me there.

So does that mean Bob Sheridan and Dave Bontempo in September? GBP will have to flip me a twenty spot to watch that garbage anyway.

I am sure Mario Lopez will be making an appearance for that card.

no surprise here HBo is trying to protect the fighters they know they can make easy contracts with remember Margarito vs Mosley, how the instant the wraps came into dispute Jim started building up Cotto again

Im tired of HBOs bullshit they are jsut a mouth piece

hopefully they learned from Ortiz, Jacobs, Angullo, etc.

excellent video and good thoughts by to reporters... marble pirog did have a first rate interpetor with him...lampley saying well jacobs ran into a speedbump..lol nope he ran into a major sinkhole..

You didn't need to go there.

HBO might have expected Jacobs to win, and when he didn't it messed up their plans. hahaha.

Bob Sheridan is the worst play by play man in sports broadcasting.

It's a lethal combination of not having the right promoter nor the right nationality...same reason Bute was kept from the Super 6 in favour of WArd and Dirrell..

Yes.

He didn't even treat Sakio Bika's dq like it was a loss on Saturday. He rattled off Bika's record as if the dq was some sort of no-contest. 28-3-2-1 he said, when it should have been stated as 28-4-2.

What a dumbass.

Is Bob Sheridan the one who commented Haye vs Mormeck ?
