I never knew a guy that liked him

There was another time someone tried to grab his mic and he pushed them away. Also when the Golota Bowe riot happened Lampley ran and Merchant stayed and said do you want me to take over.

Here is the Bowe vs Golota Riot. at 38:30 Lampley ran away and Merchant takes over. The guy was an old fucker who probably couldn’t fight but he did have balls lol.

Thoughts and prayers. He was old school, not there to kiss anyone’s ass. And I enjoyed his poetic pontifications.

Larry was an asshole 90 percent of the time, but that’s some gangster shit. Good on him for that.

Vin Scully was always respectable, professional and a fan of the players. Merchent was a drunkard(I watched him literally piss all over himself in Reno), unprofessional and a fucking old prick. Him and Jim Gray can both fuck themselves.

I liked him as a commentator. That whole HBO boxing after dark was amazing. You would have 3 great fights on one night. It is not like today. I remember there was one card labeled the night of the heavyweights and there was like 3 great heavyweight fights on one card. Amazing we will never see that again which is sad.

I like Larry BECAUSE he is a fucking nutjob, rambling through huge fights and talking massive shit to fighters’ faces when they just wanna thank god or their team. He really shook things up with very little effort

I remember he was interviewing Angel Manfredy after he’d just won some alphabet soup title and he concluded the interview by looking at the camera and saying “Welp, everybody’s got a belt.”

LOL what a dick.
