Comments Thread For: Robert Garcia Fires Back at Max Kellerman's Comments

Robert Garcia = sensitive like his boy Bam Bam

Lennox, I hear that; he's just phoning it in and picking up a cheque with a vacant smile on his face.

But you're nuts if you'd take Kellerman over Roy; even allowing for any shortcomings Roy may have, he's still quantum-leaps better an analyst than Kellerman.



Hearing Kellerman trying to talk down Steward like he's some final authority (during round 1 of Pacquiao-Margarito, among other incidents) makes me puke.

The guy's a complete joke.

Agree to disagree on who's better out of Roy and Max. I like the idea of having a fighter in the commentating team to give a fighter's perspective, but Roy doesn't really speak well. Max is much more clear with his thoughts.

I re-watched the first round of Pac/Marg and I hear what you are saying. I don't think he was trying to talk down to him, but I can't explain why he had that quick comment...

Robert Garcia should of fired back and stated you know you only have this job cause your ***ish how does that Make you feel Max ?

[carlos slim]

Has anyone taken notice of Boxingscene's new P4P listing? Woooow, there was a significant makeover.

Max "Herpes Mouth" Kellerman is an F level commentator/analyst.

His nuthugging of certain fighters is inappropriate for a man his age - he goes on like a 14 year old girl with a crush.

You just described like 30% of this board.

Roy Jones and Lennox Lewis are both fighters, and I don't care for them as commentators. Max is much better at what he does.

Well, that is your opinion. IMO, both lennox and roy are better than max at commentating. While max spends most of his time talking boxing politics and displaying her personal bias for certain fighters, lennox and roy actually talk boxing strategy/what is going on at the momment. The rest of the crew can try all they want, but these guys have the most real knowledge of the game. Lampley is good for hyping/drama and merchant for interviews. Max is trying way too hard to fill the merchants role someday as the commentator with balls who disrespects and asks fighters whatever the **** he wants. ****s getting old. But thats what i think.

He should have told Max that being in the A-level feels great. He loves his new partners at Showtime.

[Phil Ivey]

lets be honest here... what Max is saying is correct, Brandon Rios hasn't proven himself yet and Margarito hasn't done anything post plaster.

[Steak]

um...Kellerman is right. Margarito hasnt been 'A' level for a while now, and Rios...well thats premature.

I mean, I guess it depends on what you consider 'A', but I certainly wouldnt put current day Margarito and Rios in the same league as Donaire.
