    They never show his scorecard. He made the point about how subjective scoring was and how he disagreed with Lederman, that at that point he saw Jones landing all the clean hard shots, which, after three rounds, he was wrong about. I don't remember any mention of "how the fight was unfolding."
    he also said he wouldnt argue with giving trinidad two rounds, which obviously would have been 2 of the first 3. which means if he wouldnt have had jones ahead after 3 rounds.

      But he says too much. In that role Merchant keeps to his place. Kellerman has no business talking over the expert, which was Steward in that case. But he's overzealous and has no self-control

        We'll have to agree to disagree. I scored Cotto/Mosley a draw, but I wouldn't ague with someone who had Cotto winning 115-113, or with someone who had Mosley winning by the same margin. From what he said, it was implied that he had Jones ahead (likely 2-1) but he wouldn't argue with someone who gave one of those rounds to Tito (thus having him ahead 2-1.)

          Of course he has a terrible scoring bias, but to claim that wasn't my intention in making this thread.

            Interesting how the head of HBO boxing chose to give Max the job.

            Ross Greenburg a ***ish American is most well known for his work as President of HBO Sports.

            Kellerman described himself as atheist. Despite this, he is active in ***ish cultural activities and, according to The Forward, is fluent in Yiddish. Max is an avid hip-hop fan, evidenced by his intro music on his ESPN Radio show.

            I just think that that Max is not worthy of the job.

            It remains a real big mystery how more experienced commentators did not get the job. I wondery why??
