david price's promoter frank maloney is on boxnation and he embodies everything that is wrong with british bias and delusion in boxing, he is a disgrace to the sport with comments like this post-fight.
the trio of maloney, steve bunce, and tim witherspoon are just trashing wladimir for not knocking out wach in the 1st round and saying he is incapable of throwing combinations (while showing replays of him throwing 5 punch combinations lol). these three are a disgrace.

Witherspoon doesn't possess a huge vocabulary, I zoned out by the third or fourth time he dribbled on about boxing being 'an art' and that the current crop of heavyweights couldn't 'paint the full picture', sprinkle a bit of 'back in the 80's' and thats your expert commentary.
Bunce was relying on Frank to offer some semblance of analysis and got this angry, bitter bull****.

what an *******, manny is a boxing legend and just died. I expect that kind of talk from trolls on the internet but not from a promoter on a sports show on TV. This guy is scum, maybe he thinks he can bait wlad into making a fight this way and make a lot of money, they should blacklist this guy from getting any fights ever again.
What the hell do you think i mean? They said there was no 10 count for Steward.
Lulz and they were wrong about that like everything else that flew out of their mouth.
Sorry what do you mean by that? They were ringing the bell 10 times in dedication to Steward previous to the fight.

Here is the Maloney saying it. What an idiot!

Bunce wasn't comfortable with that, don't blame him. Terrible comment from Maloney.
Maloney is a twat, and hes in decline.
Don't mix up British with Maloney - he in no way represents the British boxing scene and its views.
Boxnation is generally a good channel for fights, and a little bit of analysis. It may not be great analysis, but its much more down to earth than what Sky does (or what it used to do), far better than HBO's 'analysis', or even worse the Canadian guy Bob whatever his name is lol.
Not sure why Boxnation was mentioned here - Bunce was doing the analysis on behalf of Sky/ESPN not Boxnation
Cant believe he said that ****. Although I agree that not doing a ten-count for Manny was bull****, but in Germany that might now be how they do things.
Chris Mannix @ChrisMannixSI
A long ten count and a photo montage to the late @EmanuelSteward here in Hamburg. Classy. R.I.P., Manny.
Are you sure he actually said this? I googled the comment and this thread was the only thing that came up.
I'm suprised Tim Witherspoon made disrespectful comments. It doesn't seems like him. It seems even stranger considering both brothers would have beat him had they fought in the same era.
witherspoon is one of those american dinosaures who thinks if a boxer isnt black or american they suck. anytime iv seen him on there he trashes anybody who isnt. hes a moron.

I can assure you they did. I heard it live on ESPN.

I believe they were discussing why they didn't have a 10 count for Steward.
well in that case they were not only dumb but also deaf and blind, because there WAS a 10 count.
The Board should fine the snide little creep Maloney for that shameful outburst. I thought the whole post fight on ESPN was of a very low standard. Wlad gave one his best displays I thought, and he got the same lame rubbish thrown at him. Poor.

?

Disgraceful comment from Maloney with absolutely no foundation, and Bunce should have called him out over it. Terrible post-fight analysis all told, and I'm no fan of Wlad.
