“As soon as I agreed, fifteen months ago, to return to ringside doing live viewer chat with PPV.COM, I began hearing speculation on the exciting possibility of David Benavidez vs. David Morrell.

I’m packing to go to Las Vegas for Benavidez vs. Morrell February 1.” said Hall of Fame boxing commentator Jim Lampley, who returns to ringside to co-host the exclusive and wildly popular viewer chat, in real time, throughout the PPV.COM Benavidez-Morrell world championship event HD live stream.
