Max Kellerman scores for Hopkins after rewatching

[mECHsLAVE]

He's just sucking up to Golden Boy. He knows the powers that be in boxing, and Warren obviously ain't going to do **** for him.

It's a suck-up move, that's it. Very transparent. If you really scored the fight for Hopkins, then you have to give him rounds where he landed nothing and was pushed back and battered.

This is common, by the way. Kellerman is doing it transparently, I have no doubt. But many people will rewatch a fight with a certain agenda, and watch only one fighter and concentrate on any thing they do, highlight it, and justify giving close rounds to them, even when they lost it. I've seen even smart boxing fans do this with their favorite fighters.

good for max. fight is over. whats done is done. us guys i can see changing after a second view, but these alleged professionals should get it right the first time.

Brian Kenny felt the same way...i guess hes an ass too. Max is realizing tho, that theres more than 1 way to judge a fight

Some anti-British bias there.

I'm not British, but it doesn't prevent me from being fair to Calzaghe.

Kellerman also tried to argue Hopkins winning the 7th round after landing one big punch.

It wasn't even a big punch, it was a mediocre punch that caught Joe with his feet out of position so he stumbled back

Not only that, but it was one of Joe's best rounds until the punch anyway. I cant agree with anyone who scored that round for Hopkins at all.

Is this show on alot? Do they always talk about boxing?

i believe that happened in round 7?? i scored that round for calzaghe, even tho it was a good punch, calzaghe won that round.

its on 10am-1pm weekdays i believe, but no, only when theres big fights coming up, this is special b/c they never dedicate more than an hour to boxing calls.

I scored that round for hopkins purely because from 4 to 10 that was the only round that I concieveably COULD give him.

If Max really said that then he's lost most of my respect. He and Adelaide Byrd should be banned from ever judging a pro fight if they saw Hopkins land 100+ punches less than Calzaghe and still win the fight.
