    HBO boxing was on a different level. The production value/ class is unmatched. The music, the fighter profiles. Lampley and Merchants voice. Big George and RJJ with the insights. Buffer in the center of the ring. Nobody has been able to replicate it.

    The theme that really made boxing so exciting in the 90's and part of the 2000's. The main boxer that reminds me of this theme is Oscar De La Hoya. HBO really did a great job back in the day with the great story lines and expic fights!!!

    you can still use this theme for the current hbo video intro AND IT FITS for the most part. the only problem is you have to shave twenty seconds of the audio (cutting off the false ending like they did in the later versions) but assuming you trim a piece of this theme, streamline it and incorporate the video it'll all fit amazingly, i did a bit of a dry-run playing the two separate videos together. i'd love to see someone pull it off for real.

      I heard the MBC piece, which is very good, but I think after the first few catchy notes the MBC tune has its own riff which ain't bad especially if it's the guitar version. The orchestral rendition on CZcams is quite beautiful IMO.

    I can imagine hearing that before watching AEW programming.
    Whether it’s Dynamite, Rampage, Dark, special episodes and/or a PPV.
    As TNT, TBS, and B/R are owned by WarnerDiscovery; I’m guessing the PPVs are on HBO in place of the Boxing since HBO doesn’t show Boxing anymore in the US and with Jim Lampley replacing Jim Ross when JR passes and/or Excalibur chooses to step aside from commentary.
