Comments Thread For: Larry Merchant Talks Marquez, Berto, Khan-Maidana

Did anyone catch Merchant give Litzau the "thumbs down" lol

I thought that was funny.

I believe he gave the thumbs down to DiBella who asked if Caballero won

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

Exactly, TAILOR MADE... Katsidas was a C rated mediocre fighter... Dont know why he was throwing the right hand awkwardly looked like a slap rather then a punch..

Marquez KOs this C rated and again screams third fight with Pac. haha. When will it end..

I saw that too. He was trying to corkscrew the right hand and follow it with a forearm/and or elbow, it's a sneaky lil in-fighting trick that most fighters cloak better than Kats did, but the ref never called any of them so he did get away with them.

As for Kats being C-rated. I wouldn't go that far. Kats is better than a C-rated club fighter.

Really? I got to watch it again...it was right after the fight...Litzau went to the HBO side, and I think he interrupted Merchant while he was in his thought...and turned to Litzau...

I'll watch it again.

It was also to score points. If he woulda loaded it up it wouldnt have landed.

merchant had me cracking up when he said he went out on the vegas strip and was hoping to run into fmj...

merchant has me cracking up everytime he speaks, I always get you guys broadcasts the next day, and merchant takes literally 10 hours to get a sentance out, He must be a nightmare to watch live...plus I really thought it was a lil dis-respectful of him to ask katsidis about his brother, then when he shed a tear, he literally cut him off :O wtf

but even though i had to wait an hour for larry to get it out of his lips, it was quite funny when he said that about lookin for floyd on the strip! but....as im on a roll, if he walks as fast as he talks, he has no chance :/

also.....does LARRY MERCHANT always look the same or what! the guy must have been born in his 70's or something!

I think berto is the better more competitive fight, but jmm sells better than berto. berto needs to step up his game. he's not gonna get the payday right away fighting C level competition.

At least Katsidis is tougher than David Diaz who went life and death with the killer Ramon Montano before Diaz got that shot at Pac who had no KOs on his record.

I don't think so, that Berto is the more competitive fight than Juan, first he needs to step up his game...He's not proven yet before you can have that notion...He just looks good with B or C class fighters, but as you can see Collazo was clearly robbed & Berto doesn't mind to give him a rematch...Collazo deserves much of a rematch more than Berto deserves to earn a fight w/ Pac...To prove his worth, he must fight the likes of Clottey, Margarito, Cotto or Moseley(even at his old age) and will see how he fares w/ these elites...Marquez is a proven great champion even at his age shown in his last fight...

[znarfv_y2k8]

One more thing, I just want to quote a part of Larry Merchant had said, "Berto has never proven to be an attraction, largely because he hasn't fought top opponents so that people have a true measure of who he is."...
