        Last nights commentary was a mess. We had Lampley go into a barking attack, Stewart go into a tirade and Kellerman well, remain Kellerman.

          I'd like to see Antonio Tarver replace Max Kellerman.

          Tarver's comments are more balanced and informative. Unlike Max, he has social tact.

            I find he's much wiser, more tactful and a much better interviewer than Max Kellerman.

            Max always comes across as an emotional fanboy who's in over his head.
            You are normally a ****bite, but I agree. I was just shaking my head like... **** max, get off mannys nuts.

              He's better than Steward with analysis too.

              I think Tarver is gonna be a star at Showtime.

                Lampley ran out of **** to say during that one round and just kept yelling "****" every time Pacquiao threw a punch..........

                That being said, Merchant is fun, but no more credible a boxing announcer than Kellerman. Neither of them have 'boxing credibility', and Emmanuel Steward was actually trying to say Clottey was winning the fight for a few rounds.

                Gus Johnson/Al Bernstein/Steve Farhood would be a superior 3 man team

                  Kellerman always seems to either nuthug or bash/discredit the fighters.

                  He doesn't seem to be able to make balanced, objective comments.
