    Time to pull the plug on Larry Merchant.

    It was disgusting how he stepped on a man that was already down from a fight and how he made him doubt himself, I hope I never seen him again on HBO.

    I felt bad when he brought up his brother after the loss and asked if he thinks he'd have been proud. I mean, it's not too over the top, but I think it was kind of inappropriate and I probably wouldn't have said anything but given my condolences.

      I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought Merchant's post fight interview was disrespectful. He didn't even thank or acknowledge the fact that Katsidis gave 100% of himself in a war and instead asks ****** fkng insensitive questions

            Larry is truly an idiot when it comes to commentating and interviewing.

                He gave Katsidis a chance to talk about and honor his brother.

                  Yeah, that's what I thought he was doing. He just didn't do a great job of it.

                    He asked him if he thought his brother would've been proud of his performance tonight and he started choking up.
