Bernard Hopkins Hired By ESPN For Boxing Analyst Position

[badnewsbrown]

so is he gonna be commentating or just in the studio?

Kenny has interviewed Floyd like 5 times. The only interview where they got into it was the pre-Judah interview where he told Floyd to fight the real welter champ Baldomir. Every other time I have watch Kenny interview Floyd everything was normal, infact the last interview I remember Floyd giving Kenny, Kenny was big upping Floyd a lot. Kenny is no Larry Merchant or Jim Gray, when it comes to offensive boxing interviews.

please..he interviewd Floyd b4 the GattI fight.. and he told Floyd that HAtton was the RING champ and GAtti was a title holder.. and they got in to it lol.. Floyd said " see Brian, last time you said Kostya was the real champ, nOw you sayin ITS Hatton" .. and BrIAN WAS like 'Yes, Floyd Hatton beat Zoo and now Hatton is the champ.." ....lol and Floyd was looking at the camera ad syain like " dont listen to brian kenny, tune into my fight w/Gatti, for the real championship.." .. lol

That was nothing like what Kenny said to him before the Judah fight, where you could tell Kenny made Floyd angry. Also Floyd was fighting Gatti, I hate when interviewers bring up opponents that a person is not fighting (it is always a good test to see if someone is looking past an opponent though), when your fighting you should be focusing on that person alone, and not some guy you aren't fighting for whatever reason.

Great news.

Some might remember that he did took over the commentary role one day last year and did a good job IMO.

this is great news for boxing.

i'd pay $50 to watch Brian Kenny interview Floyd again

He did interview him agains after that confrontation but he toned it down and gave Floyd softball questions and Floyd said that he like him as a result.

Nothing would happen if he interviewed him again.

you didnt see the whole interview.. Floyd was getting wound up and Brian was laughing at him. I just quoted one part.. PLus they were discussing the JWW division as a whole that's why HATTON was mentioned....

This should provide for many classic B-Hop quotes. I am all for it.
