Juan Diaz Wins Split-Verdict Nod Over Michael Katsidis

[edgarg]

NO, he was completely dumbfounded that ONE JUDGE actually gave the ENTIRE FIGHT - - - - TO KATS! Max is a little ****er but as I voted in another thread, he's growing on me.

Yes Kellerman is exactly as you describe him. To think that I once used to enjoy his analyses.....Well...........he may be growing on you, but consider.............

***** also do the same thing, and without making a sound......also other. less desireable things.

Judges almost robbed Diaz in his own backyard....was an easy fight for diaz but the scoring was horrible.... i like Kellerman, he tells the boxers what we the fans are thinking at home... he can come off as a prick no doubt but he gets his point across regardless of how awkward he makes it .... and the way he put Katsidis on the spot and made his Trainer seem like an idiot was classic but at least the public got to know why they thought they had won the fight.... Wait about a year or two and Kellerman will grow on you

At the same time, you have to accept that it wasn't only the judges who had the fight close. Katsides's corner all through the fight had it the same way.

So did I.

Most press had it pretty close and a few had Katsides pulling it out.I had Diaz 116-112 but could see how people could view it different as many of the rounds could be considered close depending what you look for in a fight.

I've been watching Kellerman for years. He used to go into ecstacies over Zab Judah, and I tru;y believe, that if it wasdn't for Kellerman constanty repeating Bernard Hopkins's name as being the "middleweight to beat" we might never have heard about him to the extent that we have.

Maxie's intensity is-to me- all wrong for the position of a non-partisan, studied, deliberative analyst. Far too much of the "eager beaver" for me.

And I like Lewis a mighty amount less.
