    I cant stand when Larry goes on his senile rants but his post fight interviews almost always make up for them. Max would have been crying to Jim to get him out of there as soon as Chad took an aggressive tone. Kellerman should call the fights and Merchant should do the interviews.

        And "the big favorite," Dawson lost me 24.5 million tonight.
        Merchant is a beast..come on. He was referring to the fact that the Cloud/Johnson fight was a toe to toe match...tonight had dawson standing there doing nothing for 90% of the fight. Which fight did you enjoy watching more?

            Has to be said, I groaned despondently when he started going off on his "I have a dream" tirade before the fight. :eyeroll: Can one say D-I-N-O-S-A-U-R?

            However, I will give props for the post-fight interviews. He did it well and didn't ease up like Kellerman always does - he asked the questions we wanted to hear. Kellerman shies away from doing that.

              I liked when he said if Dawson was the best fighter in the world he was Barbara Walters or something to that effect

                leave Larry alone.

                It's not his fault that Chad lead himself opened to be owned.

                Larry tells it as it is., whether you like or not he tells it.

                "he head butted me all nite i didun complain once, im not making excuses"

                ????

                wtf Chad.

                    I can't stand people when they hate on Merchant...he is old as dirt but a true guy, he isn't scared to ask the questions that need to be asked. He gets into the heads of the boxers and tries to find out what the public wants to know...not kiss their arse because they are the show....that game is lame
