    Lampley gets hilarious when he gets over the top. "SAVE YOURSELF, GO DOWN, THINK OF YOUR LIFE!"

    Merchant has that weird giggle sometimes when he finishes a sentence when he's the only one who gets the joke. Definitely a legend though.
    It's usually only because the references he makes are always so old that most people either don't know of them, or have long forgotten about them.

    Larry's been around since before they invented dirt.

    Living legend though, no doubt.

      Looks like i scored it the same as Lederman. I gave Roy round 1 10-8, Round 2 10-9, then the rest to Calzaghe 10-9.

              Especially though when he proclaimed his love for Shane Mosley after the Mayorga fight. That... was weird.

              Apparently I'm in the minority here. But I like Kellerman, yes his bias is annoying, but I love how he has absolutely no problem with talking s**t to a fighters face. Like when he told Casamayor he stole another one, fantastic stuff. Plus you can tell he's he's a true fan and student of the sport, which is always nice.

                I saw Kellerman's interview with Calzaghe afterwards, that was good. Mainly because it was a breathe of fresh air from the usual Merchant who takes around 3 years to get his questions out.

                  He seemed livelier in this one.



                  Kellerman is alright but not as a commentator, he did good work as an in studio analyst at ESPN though. If there's one good thing about Kellerman, it's his interviews, he lets fighters say what they want most of the time and asks good questions.

                      And his Jerry Springer final thought moment always gives Jim that "The hell are you talking about?" look after he's finished.


                      Larry (After 3 hours of talking): "And the big question is... will Calzaghe's final match truly be where the elfs make all those delicious cookies? And if not, will the Grateful Dead have the long awaited reunion concert?"
                      Max: "......"
                      Manny: "......"
                      Jim: "Wow."
