    I was pissed that Larry wasn`t there. The first Pacquiao fight where I did not see him calling the fight.

      +1.

      He tries way too hard to remind us he knows boxing trivia all the ****ing time. Do you hear announcers for the NFL or NBA constantly comparing/talking about games from the 70s and 80s most people don't remember or weren't alive to see?

      No. Because none of it really matters.

          What puzzles me most is, why did they hire someone as poorly suited for the job as Max Kellerman? Almost anyone else would have been better.
