Is it me or was Kellerman more annoying than usual tonight?

    Kellermen did a good job.

    Best part was in the post fight interview when Collazo started to criticize the wide card but kinda stopped himself and Kellerman grabs the mic and says as loudly as he can.

    "You're right. There was no way in hell that fight was 116-111"

    I liked that.

      He'll just say something like that to try to maintain some popularity with the viewers.

      He knew what most people were thinking about that ridiculous 116-111 score, so it really wasn't such a big deal for him to say it.

        Yes it is when Berto is the HBO fighter and Kellerman works for HBO.

        Once again I just want to point out that people dislike Kellerman out of jealousy and that he knows a lot more about boxing than 99% of the posters in NSB.

          You'll be as annoyed with Kellerman as many of us are, if Karoly Balzsay is ever on HBO and Kellerman is the commentator.

          That's because Kellerman will go into his usual discrediting of the European fighter - his hatred runs deep, I don't think he could stop doing it if he wanted to.

            That whole announcing team is GARBAGE. The best comment Kellerman made all night was when Lewis said holding was part of the sport and Max said "Unfortunately". Other than that he was bumbling MORON all night! Papa kept saying Berto was dropped in the 1st like 10x it was extremely annoying. Papa needs to go back to thursday night football with Collinsworth.

              HBO made a mistake replacing Fran Charles with Papa.

              Lampley and Steward are MUCH better than Papa and Kellerman.

                .
                Well if Balzsay is on HBO it will be against Andre Dirrell and he will lose anyway. So if Kellerman wants to say that Dirrell is the better fighter it's fine with me because it is true. Not because Kellerman hates Europeans.

                    Lennox Lewis is childishly self-obsessed. Too bad we can't bring back George Foreman.

                      I think some of Kellermens errors when commentating are simply un acceptable at that level. I've never known a professional commentator in a sport, to make so many errors and dubious biased comments, really I haven't.

                      I know he has a passion for boxing and a lot of knowledge, but all to often it's of a certain kind, and too clearly of certain fighters, often local.

                      The way he interviews people sometimes is also dis respectful and just a little annoying, he tries to imply things as if he's some kind of boxing god father when really often he's talking ****, not picking the best words of tones to say things.

                      People should be less forgiving of mistakes and biases just because of some other good stuff, and more demanding of journalism and commentating at this kind of level especially when paying for it.
