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

[hitmanjosh]

Max is 1 of the best commentators of boxing next to Jim Gray,Foreman and Teddy.

U got to be joking!

[hitmanjosh]

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

I know for sure you never fought, because most fighters appreciate Ward most often than the others. Ward and Max did well most of yall just ****** MF'ers!

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

Your old man say the same thing, while you given him head!

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

After 7 rounds of that fight Ward was saying something about "Loma's still downloading" and Bradley had to tell him that Loma needs to hurry up because it's getting to the point where he'll need a KO to win.

I wonder were their contracts bought out or did they just simply expired?

Lol Max has forgotten more boxing in an hour than you’ll know in your lifetime

You know nothing about me. That is a blind statement. Max might know some things, but he never boxed, and is more interested in his narrative, or "the story of the fight" than the actual fight. And has no idea what it is like in there. Horrible commentator. Sorry to hurt your feelings.

Best combo ever was the old HBO crew

All too old/dead now, but I miss the combination of Lampley/Steward/Merchant (not including Lederman; could never stand him). Commentary just hasn't been the same for me after that lineup went off the air.

He is one of the best and knowledgeable out there! Literally, he’d walk circles around 99% on these boards with his boxing knowledge. He’s lived, breathed, eaten and slept boxing for three decades. It wasn’t a “blind statement” it was dead nuts accurate. He’s a PROFESSIONAL; whereas you and I are OBSERVERS. See the difference?

That’d be akin to you coming in here critiquing the editor of Rolling Stone magazine about the articles he writes that critiques lead guitarists. While he may have never played in front of audiences or professionally, he literally lives in recording studios, concerts, gigs, side jams. So sorry if I don’t respect “your take” on ya someone”s knowledge concerning boxing.

Max, Malinaggi, Big George, Teddy, RJJ….I’d watch any day. All 5 are top shelf.

Dont worry bud, you didn’t “hurt my feelings.” Lol

I am not an observer, I was a participant. And I know when someone is blowing smoke on something I have been involved with my whole life. If he knows so much, he should report it, without bias, or judgement. Max is another commentator that is trying make his mark on the game. No less than Merchant who actually was better, but still annoying. Max needs to stick to the facts of the fight game. Something I know, and apparently you don't. To be fair, he is not the only one doing it. I will take a fighters word any day over an self serving blowhard any day.
