i wanted Larry Merchant for this fight what happened there????

Agreed his questions are great. When he was asking Wlad and Gomez questions they were straight and to the point.

HAHAHAHHA. So true. Though I have a love and hate relationship with Larry. He's a great commentator, but hates the outboxer/defensive type boxer like Hopkins. He has great comments, but sometimes you just wanna be like "SHUT UP LARRY!" that's what i like about him, i sometimes feel like getting in there and bitch slap him, but when asking the questions he reads em' off my mind, that i give him props for

Here's how it would have gone down with Larry: "Bernard...................you fought..................with tremendous...............heart.........................................will this be...............................your final..........................fight?"

there was a moment i believe during katsidis' fight like almost 1 m 30 secs of dead silence, between jim, emmanuel & max Yeah and they call themselves Commentators...:ugh: I don't like Lampley at all. He was the weakest link in my opinion. If they have to get rid of someone it should be him.. He still can do Wimbleton or whatever..lol.

The only thing I didn't like about Merchant was he was long winded.. It takes him forever to make a point. But when he finally did make one it was usually precise and fair. In my opinion on tonights commentaters Max Kellerman kept repeating whatever Emanuel Stewart was saying.. Like when Stewart would made a point that Michael Katsidis looked like Jeff Finech with more power, Max said the exact same thing 4 rounds later. Max has a long way to go in my opinion to fill Merchants shoes. there was a moment i believe during katsidis' fight like almost 1 m 30 secs of dead silence, between jim, emmanuel & max

Max isn't gonna get any better by being benched and Larry's not gonna be around forever. I dunno, what would you do? as far as im concerned Larry does not have any health problems yet.... they just let the old guy stick to his job....just like when you have an old security guard that you know that doesn't belong doing it but you'd say can't nobody replace old timer

Max Kellerman did ok from 1-10 i score a 6 maybe a 5, what happened w/Larry did he have the night off? as far as im concerned he reknewed his contract w/HBO.....i really missed Larry specially 2nite on FINAL THOUGHTS/INTERVIEWS Larry has a contract that limits his output. Against his wishes I would have to assume. Larry trashes the fighters and the sport at times.. My theory. :fing02:

Larry is my favorite on the crew, He's a straight shooter, and mixes well with lamply, stewart, lederman, and lewis when hes there, kellerman can't hold larry jock, if though he wants to. I like the banter he creates between everyone.

man i hate larry merchant :ugh:

i agree larry is all about really good fights wich boxers give their everything on they fight that never clinch or back down thats why i love larry merchant

i miss good ol' Larry:puppy_dog haha

Either way...... Larry hates tech fights and has never gotten along with Hopkins so i'm sure HBO told him to sit this one out.

HBO should keep Max Kellerman on BAD and Larry on all PPV events

Merchant's new deal has him trading off on PPV's with Max. So basically he'll do the next one then Max gets a turn, etc. They were gonna just let him go so I guess this is a sort of farewell. this is sad to hear, Larry goes right to the point when doing the interviews,

he fell asleep in his hotel room and couldnt open the door. then they said "ok Maxy, you're in the game." kellerman responded "thanks coach. I wont dissapoint you."
