Roy Jones Jr. & Jim Lampley's emotional reunion | The Ariel Helwani Show

[@darkominem]

Y'ALL MUST'VE FORGOT. Damn, it's been forever since we've had this duo. Shoutout to Ariel for making my boomer dreams come true.

[@alloverdaplace2043]

Man that hug really got me 😭🤩 thank you Ariel for making that happen!!

[@jjmadrid23]

No lie, me too. You could feel the respect and appreciation between them.

[@Elboricua-rr9hx]

Roy Jones Jr. and Jim Lampley need to have a boxing podcast . Roy Jones Jr. and Jim Lampley reunite are a key part of bringing boxing life and into the future . Roy Jones Jr. and Jim Lampley lets not forget max. LETS MAKE BOXING GREAT AGAIN .

[@slalomie]

Seeing Jim and Roy together is such a beautiful thing. They really were the perfect team. If Turki brings back HBO Boxing to its glory days I just might call him his excellency 😭

[@jerrychetty2524]

Two of them are the best Roy Jones and Jim lampley. Roy Jones is one of the best if not the best ever to step in the ring

[@boolanny]

Its criminal that Jim hasn't been doing commentary , there are very few people that can call a fight like this man, there are historical voices we all hear and it soothes us , Jim's is one of those historical voices, vin scully for baseball, bob cole, harry neale for hockey.....

[@mrsinister6687]

Unequalled commentary. All of the other teams are ok but have not risen to the level HBO Boxing created and maintained for years.

[@lamart3857]

That's a snapple fact

[@brixtonmystery]

Love him or dislike him, this is true.

[@aim6613]

It didn't get better than Lampley, Stuart, Lederman, Jones, Lewis, Kellerman. Their commentary was iconic and defined an era, any combination of them. You just had to be there.

[@lamart3857]

Real ones got goosebumps when the hbo boxing theme song came on

[@shawnramos1305]

You forgot Foreman

[@aim6613]

@@shawnramos1305 You're right I'm surprised I did, he commentated some of my favorite fights and was a staple voice of HBO in the 90s and early 00's.

[@bobbythespaceghost9934]

I missed their commentating. Roy was so dope. He was a CHAMPION while commentating on a fight!!!!

[@jf1274]

I could listen to Roy Jones Jr talk boxing all day. Man is a genius.

[@FitchEntertainment]

I can't understand WHY Amazon or Dazn.. ANYBODY hasn't picked him up as an commentator. Name one single person on this planet that is better than him and has commentated as many fights as him? We love him!

[@tanderson2too]

I don't think they can afford his rate. He can command a lot because he's the best.

[@runninwiththedevils]

What an era these two were! Great stuff Ariel!

[@Boxinghockey23]

24:00 I APPLAUD Roy for calling these networks out to their faces. They have cheap, terrible commentators, and it’s a complete disgrace to not have Roy, Jim, and Max announcing fights anywhere right now. DAZN, FOX, ESPN are all TRASH

[@markanderson9066]

I still don't understand why no one has picked up Lampley to cover boxing.

[@Kcutthth]

I miss HBO Boxing so much! It brings back memories of visiting my dad on the weekends as a kid. I would love to see it come back!

[@richardheredia23]

Facts

[@Tunz-cx3td]

Dope seeing and hearing Jim Lampley & Roy Jones talk boxing together. Thank you Ariel for being a fan of these guys and bringing them together again. Where’s Max?

[@Juango2006]

STOP age-shaming the art of speech. Lampley is needed. No other efficiently describes the events. Period. ✊🏽🥊

[@Rico-ow3ys]

I Remember when Lampley, Ray Leonard and Larry Merchant called the Tyson/ Douglas fight. Ray said " Unbelievable" when Tyson was counted out. HBO was the best.

[@michaelmohrle1773]

Me too, miss Larry.. After the 3rd round: "Well I don't know if Douglas will shock the World, but so far he has shocked me"!!

[@augmentos]

UNBELIEVABLE CREW!!!! I grew up with these 2, correction...3 Absolute 3 class ACTS!!!!

[@mattmorrison9379]

For the longest time HBO boxing was the only reason I had HBO. That one weekend a month was worth it imo. It's a shame it went away.

[@ArielHelwani]

That theme music alone...

[@victorv8259]

Both were always my favorites together.

[@marvinodoms6456]

Thank You for this one Ariel!!!

Boxing commentary has not been the same since HBO left. The voice of boxing Jim Lampley

[@trobertson1092]

Great stuff Ariel!!

[@romeog5579]

Jim was the best boxing announcer ever💯💯💯

[@kevinclark8549]

Jim Lamply and Howard Coswell, Max keller, the best.

[@DonMIFC]

Insane talk. 3 legends on stage

[@guillermo7224]

These are two great people. I have much respect for both.

Miss these guys and Max of course. Bring them back PLEASE!!!!

The best pair of boxing announcers.

[@jeffladrillono2313]

Love this team. Also love Antonio Tarver and Andre Ward on the mic doing color commentary but no one touches Lampley on the play by play.

[@ShaolinPhrase187]

I would love to see HBO bring back boxing.

[@markbeckner2564]

[@smkscreen10]

I miss hearing Jim Lampley voice covering the fights

[@pauljames7438]

Cant you tell Jim’s voice came back fully when Roy joined him on stage?

[@Lancegrace1111]

Have you played with yourself as yourself 😂 I love Helwani but I couldn't let this slide... picture Rampage going WTF haha. All love ❤

[@Lancegrace1111]

I think around 17min lol

[@jbga.6178]

I wonder if Foreman would hug Merchant if they got together, they used to clash with differing opinions calling the fights.

[@lamart3857]

Usyk is number #1 for me he beat dubois,joshua, and fury as a natural cruiserweight

[@TyrantT316]

"down goes Jones! On a hard left hand..and there is the first that Roy Jones has ever been hurt..only Lou D ever knocked him down...he may not get up!" -Lampley "its over!" -Merchant

[@RaphaelAshanti]

"He's not getting up Jim!"

[@jeffladrillono2313]

We also need Larry Merchant out there drunk and saying wild shit.

[@TheDave1268]

Having been to Vegas for many fights over the years, you are right. Some of my best memories were watching Larry Merchant and Bert Sugar completely annihilated in bars on fight week and after the fights. Utterly incredible to watch.

[@scottnixon2462]

Show turki this and he'll get it sorted out.

[@jordanwilliams8040]

They were the best and glad they called out the bad commentators today like Mauro Renao and the showtime crew

Been watching Ariel since day one. He forgets who put him where he is. Sometimes you can spread yourself too thin. Ariel crowned king ,peeps be coming for the King. They best not miss , he got that Amazon corporate juice now. I am interested In the MMA ,what he is known for. Where he made his bones. The expert. So we accept the nerd. He does not have such a storied or expertise on other sports. I watched him cover the Olympics and prostitute himself on the LeBron narrative like the rest. In MMA he has yet been caught or has not done that. I am interested where this all goes.He is a MTL homie ,so I tend to support him. If he stops the original Monday 4 hour MMA hour ,his calling card , I will watch less content than before .✌️🥊🥊

[@sharchok]

Did Jackson really squash you Ariel? You guys may be a good friend but he never like you..

[@bengolfs1]

Lots of softball questions here. Fact is, Jim Lampley was a consistently awful, biased commentator at HBO. Just listen to the replay of Julio Cesar Chavez - Meldrick Taylor fight back in 1990. It was the Fight of the Decade, and Lampley soiled it with his shameful call, along with Larry Merchant and Especially Ray Leonard. And later on he kept coming up with imaginary puches that were landed or not landed, and let his personal life interfere with his professional duties. HBO Boxing should have gone off the air years before it actually did.

[@MelanatedRepublican]

Lol ariel getting no views with his new move

[@gupstaa]

Does Jim have Parkinson’s ?

[@dannyporter7186]

That’s boxing hall of famer Roy Jones Jr, won titles all the way from middleweight to heavyweight, made over 55 million, drastically more than any UFC fighter will make or will ever make. And the other guy is Jim Lampley, one of the greatest boxing announcers ever, Joe Rogan couldn’t hold his jock strap. Hope this helps. Have a good day!
