... she’s not had a lot of exposure yet. Longtime HBO boxing host and anchor Jim Lampley tears up as he ends HBO’s 45 year run in boxing Boxing HBO By Phillip Bupp on 12/09/2018 Last … Kenny’s hyper-cheerleading, which eventually beat down Mora’s attempts to actually call a fight, made Jim Lampley’s pro-HBO house fighter bias seem fair and even-handed. DAZN’s streams have been good and largely without incident.
Anyone else hope Jim Lampley will be brought back to call fights? Either by DAZN, Showtime, Fox, whoever tf? This is the beautiful sendoff, with tearful goodbyes from Jim Lampley, Roy Jones Jr., and Max Kellerman - … There is a dearth of quality play-by-play men in boxing, and no one has taken the mantle that Jim Lampley … Play-by-play is a big weakness. They have three daughters, one son, two step-daughters, one step-son and five grandchildren.

Lampley is the former owner of two restaurants in Utah , both of which were named the Lakota Restaurant and Bar . The last ever Boxing match on HBO was broadcast on Dec 8 2018.
I get the feeling HBO was home and that they'd sooner start new careers as a Producer in Jim's case and trainer/Promter for Roy than get new Commentary gigs.. as great as they are I do think it's time for some new blood wether the current guys at Fox and DAZN get better or replaced.
Lampley has been the voice of boxing for me ever since I can remember and his experience, knowledge, and fluidity make him the best alive right now imo … Lampley won't return to commentary I feel, neither will Jones probably.
