Is HBO wasting their money with Max Kellerman???

[Texanballer]

I actually think Kellerman is decent. Only problem is, is that is it me or does Kellerman on pay per view telecasts say 1 or 2 words here and there?

Opening credits he says some analysis. Then he disappears. Comes back for the co main event. Says some words every 4 rounds or so. Then during the main event he talks a little more.

What is up?

I forget hes part of the commentary for the fights

[The Gambler1981]

Larry Merchant vanishes for large portions of fights also, then he will mutter something then go back to watching the fight.

I always thought he is a pretty solid commentator but I also thought that maybe he just lays back to let the more experienced Jim Lampley and Emmanuel Steward give almost full input.

Yeah but Larrys comments are usually funny as hell. Maxs are not

[The Gully Gad]

Yep agree with T...

Not keen on max at all..

[King Koopa]

Max comments more when he's not around Jim and Manny...I don't think there's a friendly relationship between the three

[Picozo]

Jim, Larry sometimes tend to be a bit too biased IMO. They should remain as neutral as possible and not make it so obvious. This was the case in the Cotto vs Marg fight. At least it seemd that way to me. What do you guys think about this?

I thought the same but Kellerman and Emmanuel sounded like they were getting along on the Cotto vs Margarito under cards, laughing with each other and all. Larry Merchant and Emmanuel are a different story.

[Pico Hollywood]

Is it me or is manny a flip flop...He was praising Cotto for 6 rounds saying it would be relativly easy night for cotto and

then when Margarito started winning and turing the tide manny said "this how I thought the fight was going to be" or some **** like that

Kellerman and Steward seemed to be on the same page during the entire fight last week, only to be interrupted by Lampley's excited calls of what Cotto was doing great. Lampley was really exposed during this fight. Watch the action tonight and match it up with his blow by blow reports. It's as biased as the Fox Noise Channel.
