Comments Thread For: Larry Merchant Ends His HBO Run This Saturday Night

[zphd]

Smart, articulate, unimpeachable honesty - whether it was what people wanted to hear or not - and steeped in boxing history and it's traditions; essentially, everything his detractors aren't.

Agree 100%. I will miss Larry.

That said... bring ****ing TEDDY ATLAS.

"Fernando Vargas may have had a six pack in his stomach, he did not have a six pack in his chin."

Oh my god...ahahahahahha

He should expose the Al-Haymon mafia that runs HBO Boxing.

The lack of personality in sports commentating just got a lot worse with Larry leaving.

It's all robots, controlled by the networks now. Sad day in sports.

Sad day, Larry was never biased and just called it how it was. Thats what I liked. Now we gonna have lampley and kellerman both of who are nuthuggers and bend the truth to fit their agenda. Jones jr is alright but he just talks play by play no match for kellerman and lampley to overthrow.

nigs are ******ed.

I didn't know that till now, well Larry was good he'll do well.

I have been waiting for this for a couple of years now. Kellerman is so much better with interviews and commentary.

Thanks for your input, Max.

End of an era. He is part of the build up to a big fight and all of the excitement that comes with it.
He is a favourite of mine, always liked how he didn't kiss the ass of fighters just because everyone else did and it was expected of him.
Gonna be strange not hearing him commentating.
