HBO Boxing’s The Fight Game with Jim Lampley returns with a new edition this coming Wednesday, October 7th, at 11pm Eastern. Hosted by the four-time Sports Emmy winner, who has been the host of HBO Boxing since joining the network in 1988, the show is a provocative, engaging and informative experience that delves into intriguing storylines, newsmakers and issues that are top-of-mind in boxing.
On this edition of The Fight Game, commentators Max Kellerman and Michelle Beadle join Lampley for a comprehensive look at the latest developments in the sport. Other highlights include a preview of the compelling middleweight showdowns between Gennady Golovkin and David Lemieux, and Miguel Cotto and Canelo Alvarez, plus an all-new Gatti list and Fight Game pound-for-pound compilation, presented by Lampley.
Immediately following the show’s debut on Oct. 7, fight fans can log on to hbo.com for an exclusive overtime segment hosted by Lampley.
It’s been a slow few months for HBO Boxing, so really, this is a look ahead at the action to come on the network. Golovkin vs. Lemieux and Cotto vs. Canelo are on the radar for the next two months, both HBO pay-per-view dates, along with the returns of fighters such as Terence Crawford and Wladimir Klitschko, so surely they’ll cover all of that ground.
