What's your Canelo-Charlo prediction? 🤔👇

[@Metso-ateco]

Fury -usyk signed for december

[@sallinger87]

I love any commentator who is as anubashedly passionate and emotional about their sport. Totally agree that he is a legend

[@sallinger87]

Also fuck HBO

[@GloveWarriors]

I love Lamps. His passion for boxing is unreal. He wasn't an announcer for the money or career, he just loved the sport. I miss the old HBO crew. Great interview!

[@anthonyventi1579]

I love him too, but this was too small a role for him!! I need to see him doing play by play! Not some Harold Letterman type gig.

[@bahlsdeepe868]

Just hearing Jim describe Arturo Gatti vs Mickey Ward is pure gold. We are so lucky to have had the privilege to hear Jim on those legendary nights that only come once a generation. He is the GOAT boxing commentator. He is the standard by which all others will be measured💯🥇

[@francissalazar2957]

Jim has made me cry or almost cry & touched my heart at the very least 2 times one in this interview when he talks about gati-ward and the other time when he was giving his farewell speech after the last fight he called with hbo he’s a good man with a caring heart

[@HisExcellencyB]

Lampley always looks on the verge of crying but can't knock his passion for the sport He's still far better than the commentators out there now

[@peterjohnston1362]

Great interview, jims a legend

[@47minsway9]

What a beautiful person I'm a little teary-eyed myself, hope he continues in big time boxing for many more years to come. ❤

[@ninjasrose1653]

I love the clear respect Rob shows to him. And obviously for good reason, but it's nice to see. Many media outlets just see everyone as a number. Boxing News are legitimately driven by passion not numbers and money!

[@adamlees8410]

Great to see Jim's emotion and tears coming out over Gatti v Ward. Eddie Hearn should get Jim on the payroll and bring some of his magic back to live fights.

[@OldSchoolBoxing1]

💯

[@frankjaeger393]

Would love that but im sure Jim has had plenty of offers but likely wants to be retired with family now.

[@BelfastBoxingNBlues]

Why would Jim Lampley want to commentate over Josh Warrington v Leigh Wood,

[@adamlees8410]

@@frankjaeger393 listening to Jim he still sounds mythed and upset with HBO pulling the plug on his dream job. I don't get the impression he's ready for pipe and slippers and his passion for the sport is still there for all to see.

[@adamlees8410]

@@BelfastBoxingNBlues he's a boxing enthusiast and former commentator who was made to stop doing what he loves through HBO quitting boxing. Why wouldn't he accept a route back in commentating on WORLD title fights?

[@James-th7wb]

Jim is a brilliant commentator and storyteller

[@norb5119]

I realy missed his voice...brings back some great memories!

[@frankjaeger393]

Jim is a great guy, miss him and HBO team they was the best and shout out to Harold Ledderman he always scored the fights right. Excellent judge.

[@luisn818]

Damn Jim I missed you legend. You’re the greatest ever to call a fight. Looking forward to hearing you call fights again and do interviews

[@cryptoKR]

DAZN needs to sign him

[@J.L.K]

This is why i love this channel and Rob's interviews. He gets these legends to sit down and he asks simple yet open questions and just lets the interviewee speak about their passion. It just makes for great listening and Rob has delivered so many like this over the years. Great job.

[@jamesklein8441]

Jim is amazing at what he does. He loves boxing completely❤

[@plankman78]

Great to hear Jim Lampley recall Gatti Ward again: his commentary is an integrated part of that trilogy “aren’t you glad you bought a ticket?”

[@LifeOfRy]

Jim is probably my favourite person in the sport that operates outside the ring itself. His voice alone is iconic. You knew you were in for a great night of boxing when you heard "Hi, I'm Jim Lampley". He has such a deep and palpable reverence for fighters.

[@unscrupulousyou]

Man those last few minutes were among the most beautiful things I've seen.

[@ianbrett3276]

Its great to see you and hear your opinion on boxing again Jim 😁

[@OldSchoolBoxing1]

That wasnt Jim Lampley

[@GA001]

😂

[@ianbrett3276]

@@OldSchoolBoxing1 🤦‍♂️ your right it was Barry Tompkins, my old memory has let me down

[@larrysellers7891]

I once bumped into Barry Tompkins in a laundromat in Higher Broughton. He was entertaining the folks by doing an impromptu colour commentary on a laundry cycle. Ever the professional.

[@kibs4168]

I miss him. He called so many of my favourite fights.

[@chillibeef9947]

I can always listen to Jim. Great work

[@ChattinBoxingWYB]

The legend Jim Lampley is here.

[@seanpark7709]

Beautiful, eloquent commentary is Jim’s trademark. No different here. Thank you for this video. As a fan of the man and the sport it is enormously inspiring.

[@jayh7596]

Gotta love and appreciate Jim, his passion and love for the sport & the fighters is soo authentic. Nothing fake at all about it. It’s the reason why he’s soo respected and very much missed on TV.

[@OldSchoolBoxing1]

Great to see Jim back 😊

[@ltcolumbo9708]

Jim Lampley brings a special kind of love to boxing

[@martinmulligan8451]

Great interview I love boxing 👏 ♥️

[@Edamian77]

Legend!

[@georgegomez3475]

Glad to see my man Lamps back. ❤

[@mosab643]

I was wondering when I was going to see Lampley cry again so I could cry with him. Good job getting it out of him.

“Having watched you on the television as a young boy and grown up with HBO, even in the U.K as a fixture of the boxing landscape” - A fellow old school illegal downloader there revealing himself. God bless SIMBROS wherever he is now. 🥊

[@Thursdaynights]

The greatest voice in all of sports

[@edwin.Wezt1]

Jim lampley , Larry Merchant, Max Kellerman , George Foreman, Bob Poppa, Emmanuel Stewart . Their insight ,experience, and professionalism made them the best of the best as far as commentary for boxing really happy to listen to Jim again.

[@loupyc]

Brilliant interview Jim's love and passion for the sport is unparalleled it absolutely baffles me that another network didn't snatch him up. I think a lot of these broadcasters just want a company man with no soul who will always follow the narrative. Jim isn't like that his passion is too strong and he goes with his heart I'm glad he's back.

[@ignacio633]

Boxing has better quality with Jim lampleys voice in it. He’s the Bible for boxing.

[@bambamunlicensed9085]

Gatti ward 1&2 are my favorite of all The 3rd was great don't have me wrong Brought out the warrior in both Rip ARTURO GATTI 🙏

[@john_the_boxer]

This has a criminally low amount of views. I guess it’s a testament to how casual the KZbin boxing audience are.

[@cantilever]

Lampley is tremendous. He's a boxing guy, loves the sport thoroughly, KNOWS the sport thoroughly, the highest level of professional broadcaster. (I cannot stand Mauro Ranallo's bombastic style.) It was insane for HBO to dump boxing when they had spent decades building up their brand as the gold standard of premium-cable boxing. It's even more insane that it took...five years...before Lampley was involved in a boxing broadcast. I don't know where he goes from here, but any boxing organization, promoter, network, casino, DAZN, whatever, has this incredible resource who will elevate their production...just offer the guy a first-class roundtrip plane ticket, a suite at the fight hotel, and a reasonable fee, and he will show up with all his skills and knowledge, ready to go...

[@ak47mack10]

LEGEND. Rob tell Eddie to sign him up for DAZN!!

[@LifeOfRy]

11:55 FACTS!!!

[@juvenalmaguellal9649]

HBO Legendary nights boxing after dark was the best. SHOWTIME will never compare

[@cosmokramer4703]

What is "Hatch BO"?

[@zedzeee]

Bivol wasn't an olympics gold medallist Jim 😂

[@Sidwhite-yb5cv]

Boxing is a poorer place without Jim commentating on Boxing. LEGEND

[@chrissyp76]

Legends are not just made inside the squared circle, the theatre is also made by amazing journalistic story tellers like the main man! He was boxing in the USA for me for many a year! Wish UK took note, no disrespect but only a couple are decent nowadays.

[@Bangbangbigelow]

Jim loves the sport so much, he probably would’ve called all of those fights for free

[@syedazam2562]

What’s beautiful about that Tyson fury story was that the prophecy really came to fruition under the guise of sugar Hill…Tyson really went full circle

[@weasalman2028]

The plan was for canelo to fight and have a training camp at cruiser weight while collecting a belt against one of lesser champions. This camp at a higher weight would give him a slight advantage in order to drop down and campaign at 175 thus conquering that division... buttt the fight vs mbaku fell and canelo and team jumped the gun and went straight to bivol... canelo has been doing this for a while... fight chaves at 164 to get ready for ggg at 160 then fight rocky at 168 in order to get ready for jacobs at 160 then kovelev at 175 to get ready for 168 campaign ... after undisputed a fight at cruiser to get ready for 175 campaign

[@ThaBudCrawfordEra]

I hope jim is ok he cant stop saying "Ugghhh" 😢

[@user-kt4cx6cm7n]

Jim Lampley is a national treasure. His passion for boxing shows but Tyson Fury vs Muhammad Ali both in their prime? Ali would toy with Fury. OMG. Ali would hit Fury so fast and hard Fury would think he was rubbing him. 🤣

[@GA001]

This guy was a horrendous commentator. “Hard right hand!” that never landed, for years and years.

[@ORIGINOLINDIVIDUAL]

Looks like i’m the only one who finds it cringey he has tears in his eyes, he started crying on the Trish Dixon one to. The people he’s talking about aren’t his friends, their people he was paid to talk about.

[@rockyruane9379]

lmao Ali would have fuckin massacred Fury

[@sagesarabia5053]

I love him but wish he’d stop crying

[@Sidwhite-yb5cv]

Jim , Larry Merchant and big George was the best commentary team PERIOD
