Comments Thread For: Boxing Commentators Andre Ward, Max Kellerman Depart From ESPN Roles

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

ESPN's coverage of boxing will have a different look moving forward. On Friday, as part of a series of dramatic cost-saving cuts, Max Kellerman was among the nearly 20 on-air talent to be laid off from the Disney-owned company.

The rest of the commentating crew needs to go as well. I'd take Crystina Poncher and Chris Algieri combination instead. Timothy Bradley is a clown and insufferable. Start with him.

Max kellerman and Andre ward will go to DAZN, DAZN have trash commentary

[Plick647]

well that was unexpected...
bring back Al Michaels and Sean O'Grady!

Say what you will but I think Tim Bradley is the only listenable commentator there. Maybe a little brash for the timid but he knows more than anyone on that board.
I will not read the haters stuff here and that's expected. It overflows. Tired and seeing Tim slammed.

Thank god Andre Ward is finally gone. He will not be missed. I’ve had it with his biased commentary. He only sees things 1 certain fighter does. That clown had Lomachenko vs Lopez a draw lmao when Loma didn’t do anything the first 7 rounds. And then he was whining because Teofimo SR was cursing in the corner while giving instructions. Thank god this clown is done

Fvkcing glad Andre ward is gone. He was worse than tim

Not surprised Ward was laid off. His analysis left a lot to be desired. Max making 5M, sheesh, for what? Timmy is the best boxing analyst ESPN has by far.

Ward was boring in the commentator seat so no biggy for me. Hopefully Bernardo Osuna replaces Joe Tessitore.

The thing that drives me nuts about fans is that they act like Tim Bradley and Andre Ward are supposed to be unbiased in their commentary.

They're not. ESPN tells them what position to take for the sake of banter while they call the fight.

This is how ESPN operates - ESPN commentary is extremely biased by design.

Whoever replaces Ward will be the same way.

As for Andre being let go - no loss IMO. He reminded me of Lennox Lewis in some ways... Ward was more eloquent but he didn't really have a lot to say.
