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

Tim has a weird way of talking on the mic and it gets annoying at times but he makes good points from time to time. Ward just states the obvious and adds very little value to the broadcast. Was a big fan of Ward as a fighter and as a role model, but commentary isn't for everybody. Wish him the best

So we are left with Kriegel and Tim Bradley....literally the worse two remain.

what a low blow by espn

Ward was terrible and Kellerman has been a suck up since about 2008.

n the minority that actually liked Ward's commentary. I recognized that he was bias but I didn't think it was typical "A-side" bias, Ward always favored fighters who had attributes or qualities similar to him or qualities that he personally valued.

He talked up fighters who he felt were disciplined, crafty or "students of the game". He also talked up his past opponents because he knew it enhanced his own legacy.

I miss those days, or should I say nights, when Max was calling the fights on HBO with Jim and Larry.

HBO knew how to showcase boxing better than these networks today.

Shows being a company man doesn’t mean $h!t Tim Bradley should have been first on the list

Once his contract is up; He'll probably get canned also.

Tim Bradley has some whack takes at times but he does have personality. That brings some liveliness to the broadcasts.

Kriegel is terrible and should have gotten the boot.

They should of fired Bradley instead....

Totally Agree!
