Jim Lampley 'Bang Bang Bang' a Bizarre Blow-by-Blow (FanHouse)
This is one of those internet buzz things that's never going to go away. This is probably going to become a meme. I didn't want to make, like, a feature commentary out of it or anything, but let me throw in my additional two cents to the Jim Lampley Sounded Like An Idiot Fund. BANG. BANG BANG! BANG! BANG! Just horrible.
Manny Pacquiao - Too Good for Joshua Clottey (The Boxing Bulletin)
Our friend Andrew Fruman from our sister site The Boxing Bulletin analyzes Pacquiao's easy victory.
No sense in ducking Pacquiao-Mayweather (Yahoo! Sports)
Dan Wetzel offers this thought: "Boxing put on a heck of a show Saturday, with almost 51,000 fans making Cowboys Stadium an electric environment. It just didn’t stage much of a fight."
'IT'S ABOUT NUMBERS': Cowboys' Jones major player (Las Vegas Review-Journal)
Jerry Jones isn't out to hurt Las Vegas, he's out to get boxing more exposure: "Here's how it helps Las Vegas. By having a fight like this here (in Cowboys Stadium), it creates more visibility and interest in fighting. So when Las Vegas hosts a fight, that interest transfers over. These fights lift all boats."
What we learned from Pacquiao-Clottey (Sports Illustrated)
Bryan Armen Graham has five things learned from the Pacquiao-Clottey fight, leading off with the prevailing thought about last night's challenger: Joshua Clottey did not come to win.
Pacquiao pounds Clottey, calls out Mayweather (Yahoo! Sports)
Pacquiao had some interesting post-fight comments about Floyd Mayweather Jr., including saying his style "isn't difficult" (a comment that led Max Kellerman to ridiculously request Manny show him, right then, how he would fight Mayweather). I'm a bit sick of talking about Pacquiao-Mayweather until it actually gets signed, but hey, it happened.
Manny Pacquiao proves his worth against Joshua Clottey (ESPN)
Like others, Clottey says it's Pacquiao's speed that killed: "I didn't feel Manny's power. It's just that his speed was too much for me." Clottey's replacement trainer, Lenny DeJesus, offered this: "We clearly got beat. i don't think we won a round."
Arroyo lauds Pacquiao's patriotism, perseverance (GMA News)
I hear this guy Pacquiao is some sort of big wheel in the Philippines.

Only just watched Lampley's BANG..
Man that is funny. He sounds furious! It’s as if Clottey was really offending him being in the ring.. I think the best bit is when Max K tries to make a point, and Jim just screams over him “YOU WANNA THROW.. BANG!!”. Still, it’s better than the drivel I had to listen to.. Jim Watt talking about Clottey’s huge heart for not giving in. I’d have taken BANG every day.
"The terror of the unforeseen is what the science of history hides, turning a disaster into an epic"
Yeah Sky were particularly awful last night
They kept praising Clottey’s great defense and the fact that Manny was only hitting “Elbows and leather”, but also said that lLottey’s defense wasn’’t enough to win. Nothing really wrong with that except that this was almost all they said all night!
I wouldn’t be suprised if Pac turned out to be the incredible hulk in a very good disguise. - Sigidy

Agreed, in all fairness the fight was absolute dross, there really wasn’t that much to talk about except that Pacquiao was miles ahead of a guy who was clearly there just to make up the numbers. Me, I could have done with the sleep.
"The terror of the unforeseen is what the science of history hides, turning a disaster into an epic"
The above caption,
“Clottey content to exist in the background,” says it all.
I like it

Hahaha!
Is Lampley OK?
He sounded like he was gonna start freaking out if the other annoying guy,Kellerman hadn’t cut in.

No, he is not ok, Something is terribly wrong there.

Lampley is my favorite.
but I don’t understand what was going there. It was odd. Was he trying to provide the excitement that Clottey was lacking?

"Gowin on fourth and 14 will punt it away. He hangs it very high, angling it for the near sideline...HAKIM DROPS THE BALL!!! HAKIM DROPS THE BALL!! Brian Milne might've fallen on it at the ten yard line! It's the New Orleans Saints' football! Brian Milne, the most unlikely hero of them all, falls on the fumble, the muff by Hakim! There is a God after all!" -- Jim Henderson

well i just read the lampley article, and it seems you guys have conveniently left out the fact that he knew he went too far in the proceeding rounds. everyone made it seem as if lampley just spewed out random bangs and thought nothing of it, when he clearly knew he fucked up

Who cares? He admitted a week later that the 9-9 thing in the Cotto-Pacquiao fight was completely stupid, too. He still did it.

yeah i’m not saying it makes it less stupid that he acknowledged it, but come on you guys are making him seem like larry merchant out there. he didn’t just say something incredibly stupid, and move on (he did with 9-9 but hey better a week late than never). he realized he was an idiot , made fun of himself a bit, and continued on. larry just continuously says something batshit insane and doesnt even know it

Oh I’m not being super serious about the BANG! barrage. I thought it was pretty hilarious. It was more absurd or bizarre than offensive or anything like that.

Jim Lampley must have been half-asleep and dreaming about a bank robbery.
"BANG!" - Jim Lampley's first word as a child
I just lol at the
“Here I come… BANG…”
"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."
TRY AND STOP ME
BANG.
