17. Another inadequate neanderthal who has misplaced anger issues. Why doesn't he try his abuse issues in the ring with men, instead of women. Coward jackass!@

19. Don't jump the gun on Jim. Maybe the slut deserved it. There's two sides to every story.

20. He should be kept in jail and not released as he will continue abusing intil someone is severly injured or killed. He is mentally sick and needs confinement and treatment.

22. Oh boy Virgil Walker! You are one piece of work! I'd hate to be married to you. No woman "deserves" abuse no matter what she does. Strange that someone living, educated in these ages would still believe something like that. Very wierd.

23. I don't understand how so many guys get caught up in this sort of thing. Especially a" prominant member of society"..walk away-move on; get counceling if you need closure-since when is violence the answer?

24. He was probably a bed wetter and was over toilet trained.

25. Just a hunch, but I'm wagering Virgil Walker lives alone. If not, he should be. No woman, regardless of her behavior, deserves to be a victim of abuse.

And Virgil, what's up with the "slut" comment? How in the name of God can you accuse a woman you don't know of being a slut. Again, that statement says a lot (too much, in fact) about you.

26. The judge should sentence him to three rounds with Mike Tyson in a steel enclosed ring with no protection. Perhaps if someone his own gender beats the crap out of him he will learn a life changing lesson and never abuse another woman or anyone else for the rest of his life! That is if he survives!

28. THE ENTIRE HBO TEAM IS BORING AND SELF CENTERED.LAMPLY IS JUST A JERK,THEN WE HAVE THE OTHER GUY THAT CAN'T FINISH A SENTENCE WITH HESITATING 5 TIMES AND THE WORST ARE THE FORMER BOXERS USING WORDS LIKE EXCAPE,EXTABLISH,AKS, SINCE WHEN DO WE HAVE X'S . IN THES WORDS.I THINK THEY ARE ESSES..THEN THERE IS ROY JONES EVERYTIME HE IS ASKED A QUESTION HE HAS TO REPEAT IT BEFORE ANSWERING...I WATCH THE FIGHTS AND ENJOY MOST OF THEM BUT IN A LOT OF CASES I TURN OFF THE SOUND...IT'S LIKE HAVING HOWARD COSELL BACK AGAIN.

29. Im sure she was a 'ho....bitch probably got what she deserved! Jim Lampley ROCKS!

30. I have no tolerance for men who abuse women. Whimps! That is all I have to say. I guess because a man would whip your a** is that why you have to proove your "manhood" by kicking some female's butt. That is not proving your manhood, rather making you look stupid. A lot of abusive men think they can get away with it but the law ALWAYS catches up with you...this case in point.
