He fucking TRASHED Gary Lockett. Gave him no credit. I haaaaaaaaate when people do that.
Granted, Gary Lockett isnt much of a fighter. But still i mean, keep bad words about fighters to yourselves, especially if millions are listening to what you say. He REALLY ripped on Lockett.
And he always trys to force out a call out. I dont like that either... UNLESS he's is trying to get Cotto to call out Mayweather or Mayweather to call out Cotto.
Let a fighter naturally call someone out, it makes it more dramatic and emphatic. He almost made Pavlik look like a bit of a jerk...
I'm glad somebody brought this up. I don't hate Max by any means but to disrespect a fighter the way he did was awful. He asked Pavlik basically something like "how many more Gary Locketts will there be before you fight someone good again" and something like "after the Taylor fights, you deserve a fight against a Gary Lockett." I mean it's one thing to say it in commentary but to say something like that when the fighter was probably still in the ring with them. I wish Gary would've went over and kicked Max's ass :boxing: and said "it's not as easy as it looks, bitch."
Any fighter that is brave enough to go into the ring and give it their best deserves some credit. At least he didn't run like coward for 12 rounds trying to avoid the KO.
He's cool in my book. Generally I can agree with a lot of what he says. He brings a lot more energy than the ever slowing down Merchant, and he knows his shit. A lot of times he put Lennox in his place which I appreciated and at times he disagreed with Harold which takes balls. His interviews can be alil loud at times, and he really gets into the fighter with certain questions, but it's all good. He's thinking like a fan at times and what a fan would like to hear, and in the long run I think it helps us.
I don't think it's too bad. He let's the fighter know what the fans what to see. Fans what to see Calzaghe Pavlik and it's better then the usual "I'll let my company do the talking" bullshit.
