Early on, they did even when it WAS clear they were Usyk rounds. It starts with Max and then Roy just echos him. They just support the agenda...the big money would have been Joshua vs the winner of Fury vs Wilder, and they were sucking up. As the fight progressed, Usyk became undeniably the front-runner no matter what they were trying to sell, and by the end they all were in agreement he was the man. I think they also look at live social media, and change their tune when they see the majority of people don't agree with them. Max Kellerman is annoying as hell to listen to. I wish they would drop him off the roster.

Are you talking about Todd Grisham man? Max Kellerman doesn't call fights on DAZN. Don't think he calls fights anymore at all even, but it was on ESPN after HBO.

Roy is usually a very astute and intelligent commentator. He typically explains his keen observations very well and is a pleasure to listen to but he seemed quite off his game during long periods of this fight. He seemed to be over crediting Joshua until it was almost impossible to deny that he was taking a whooping. I think what was happening is that the commentators and Roy were expecting Joshua’s size and power to end up taking over, all the while they seemed to be missing the clinical dismantling that Usyk was doing to AJ.Comment

I guess I was...thought it sounded like Kellerman. I didn't see whoever it was...only heard the voice.Last edited by jaded; 09-27-2021, 04:17 AM.Comment

Well, I like Kellerman and really can't stand Grisham. I guess their voices sound kind of similar but Max is a lot more intelligent and well-spoken. That being said the whole DAZN team is pretty garbage but that's not a very hot take, especially on here.
It's a three-way tie for 1st place for my most despised commentary around today. Brian Kenny, Chris Mannix, Ray Flores. DAZN will give you 2/3 on a bad night.Comment

I think that it was an astute observation on Roy's part that Joshua should've not shown how beat up and exhausted he was before the decision was announced, because his demeanor could sway the judge, who might be on the fence.Comment

Made no sense. He was ignoring what was going on in the actual fight in favor of who got off the stool a couple seconds earlier.
I also hate how he always says, "I knew this was gonna happen, I called it! I predicted this! This is exactly how I saw this going down!"
Cong**** Roy, you've correctly predicted something during a fight, which is kind of your job. Don't go breaking your arm patting yourself on the back.Comment
