I almost never agree with his commentary, and i really lost alot of respect for him when he justified with foolishness why DLH lost to Shane Mosley in their second fight. What do you think?

Yet he hates the Klitschkos and says that Wladimir put poison on his gloves when he fought Byrd which is a claim that Byrd originated. Byrd's face was swollen from the poison and not from getting hit by Wlad all fight. Kellerman is a nut, so I would have thought that you would have liked him, but I guess I was wrong.

i havent exactly said anything outlandish in my short stay here.

I asked others around me how they felt about wlad, including someone who knows next to nothing about boxing, and they all said the same thing, whats the big deal, i didint pass on my word as truth, nothing i say is the final word on wlad, its only an opinion, im not asking you to respect it, or myself.

And a horrible opinion at that. How does someone with no heart get KD and come back to win the round on all three judges scorecards?

I dont want my topic to be about wlad, i want it to be about kellerman, if you want to know more about what i think about wlad, ask me in the other topic please.

Neither do I but you asked why I thought the way I did. Kellerman is a nut. End of story.

but back to Wlad

he will be champ again one day!

Kellerman is an idiot and any boxing knowldege he might have are thrown out the window when he puts on his pom poms and his cheerleading outfit for his favorite fighters.

I remember him saying, "PBF is definitely the best fighter ever to fight at 135lbs!" Which he also added, "And yes i include JC Chavez"

(No mention of Duran btw)

I used to think that the things Kellerman would say (about any sport or athlete) was just to get a rise out of people!!! But after watching him now for a while I realise that he is just a STUPID *******!!!

He's a fan with a mic, and a fan with a lot of boxing trivia in his head, which makes him fun when paired with a true boxing expert. But to call Kellerman an expert is probably not fair. He has a place in commentating, but let's not confuse him with boxing broadcasters with legitimate cred.

I need to jump in on this one and defend Max a bit. Sure, I have disagreed with him on many occasions. I had the oppertunity to sit down and talk with him a couple years ago, it was great, his ego is only a TV persona. He is very articulate as well as a genuinely nice guy... Not some stuck up ass-clown. I respect Bernstien's knowledge a greta deal more than Max's, but during a sitdown session with both, they are equal. These people in person are better people than you would assume. So, What is my opinion? I like him and miss his writings as well as his little fueds with Teddy.

He's not gone. He just switched networks.

When I heard maz saying that Lennox was the greatest heavyweight and the hardest puncher of all time, he lost all credibility. Obviously he doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.

Kellerman was very good on Around the Horn when he could make a bold statement and then let the real sports journalists agree or disagree with him in a longer time space than Max's. He's a good host, but a lousy color guy and perhaps in over his head as a studio guy.

Max does say some stupid things. He gets overly excited & blurts **** out without thinking.
His credentials ? Hmmmmm, his job is to TALK about boxing. I don't know what "credentials" are required to do so.

BUT.....

He loves the sport. He always did his best to draw attention to it.
At a time when it seems like boxing is slipping from the public's consciousness.....it's good to have a "promoter" like Max around.

Yea, but he doesn't get the exposure he used to get. ESPN has turned their backs on boxing again. Do you know if he still writes? Where can I find it?

This is not true.

From realboxing.com:

ESPN MAKING MAJOR LEAGUE MOVE



Since one can remember, HBO has been leading boxing into greener pastures. The goal for any professional boxer is to make it to the cable giant, thus getting closer to the life-altering dollars that the sports’ best fighters rightfully command.



And while HBO is by far the leader in the clubhouse, Showtime has always been considered the second choice … always the bridesmaid, if you will. ESPN and Fox Sports, and just recently Comcast, along with a few Spanish-only stations, are looked at as the minor leagues .. the Pawtucket Red Sox for boxers before jumping up to Fenway Park and HBO or Showtime.



However, all that looks like it could be changing as RealBoxing has learned that ESPN is planning an announcement in the coming days which could .. actually it will .. change the pecking order for professional boxers.



ESPN, or more to the point ESPN2, has been bringing us ‘Friday Night Fights’ for the last seven years and expanded to a summer series “Tuesday Night Fights’ two years ago. Many fighters have grown up on ESPN2 and when a big time opportunity came along, they would be forced to jump ship over to HBO or Showtime because, of course, that’s where the money has been.



But the landscape will change on November 4 when ESPN2 will broadcast the WBA lightweight title fight between Juan Diaz and Julien Lorcy from the SBC Center in San Antonio . Penciling that date on your calendar, you will notice that it’s a Thursday night show – on ESPN2.



The goal is for ESPN2 to broadcast ‘higher-level fights’, along the lines of the HBO’s and Showtime’s, and feature fighters like the undefeated Diaz and Rocky Juarez, who could be in with former WBC featherweight king Guty Espadas, in an upcoming installment. And should one of the fighters get moved into a more lucrative pay-per-view fight, ESPN would then likely produce that card as well.



All this while still promising to bring us the regularly scheduled ‘Friday Night Fights’ series between January and September and the “Tuesday Night Fights’ series between June and September.



Speaking of the ‘Friday Night Fights’ series, while ESPN promises to give us the A-typical shows, which often pits two evenly-matched fighters (the kind of show that they have been giving us for the last seven years), every once in a while, they will throw in more expensive Diaz-Lorcy-type fight. Or perhaps, they could showcase two opponents in separate bouts on ‘FNF’ with the goal of building the winners into a pay-per-view broadcast down the line.



The goal is to have ESPN competing with the HBO’s and Showtime’s for the fights and the fighters that most boxing fans think are limited to the two cable giants. From the sounds of what is coming down the road, ESPN is going to put a lot of pressure on HBO and Showtime. That can only be good news for us, the boxing fans.



Welcome to Landsdowne St. , ESPN. You’re in the big leagues now.

neils.....


That....brings tears of joy to my eyes !

AWESOME !

Maybe that's why ShoBox is moving to Fridays. The Thursday nights may have bigger names on non-pay cable.

He use to make me sick slobbering all over Jones all the time. It got to where any objectivity went completely out the window and I just couldnt take him seriously anymore! :rolleyes:

Tracylee....

Does "Ultimate" make you sick with his lack of objectivity concerning Mexican fighters ?
Dude can't talk about anything but Mexicans, in a positive light.

Kellerman says a lot of outlandish things sometimes and almost never fails to make a rediculously bold statement in his commentary...but he's good for boxing. He's young, truely loves the sport, and has a good amount of knowledge about the sport. He's very enthusiastic about boxing and tries to bring attention to it.

NOt really. I like several Mexican fighters anyway, plus he's never called me a "hater" or questioned my intelligence, or implied that I dont know boxing cause I'm not a Klit...oops, a mexican boxing fan :D
