He has a terrible lack of tact, and much of what he says is factually wrong.

Originally posted by ИATAS View Postok I don't see how that's relevant. Kellerman, whether we like him or not, has a true genuine love for boxing. That much cannot be denied. So while maybe he had rich parents or whatever, he CHOSE to go into boxing. I'm sure his parents would have wanted him to become something else but the man followed his dreams and that much, at the very least, is to be respected.

You MEAN to TELL ME that Max KELLERman's WEIrd WAY of ENUNCIating every OTHER word is NON-irritating?
And unbiased, are you kidding me? Granted, most of HBO's commentary crew has been fairly biased (Jones and Steward are the only ones who spring to mind that weren't overtly biased), but Max is biased as **** in regards to "slick african American" fighters.
Whereas guys like Merchant and Foreman preferred punchers, and Lampley just seems to favor whoever is HBO's most stoic guy at the time. (Cotto, Pacquiao, etc...)

Irritating voice? I guess it's a personal preference. His voice wont stand out in a crowd. It's not high pitched or too growling.
How is he extremely biased? Against what fighters? I'm curious, because i never picked up on it.

It's usually people from boxing backgrounds that know what they are talking about who find it more difficult to get into boxing journalism.
Thankfully, Roy Jones is usually there to set Kellerman's silly and biased musings straight.

I'm not an english speaker, maybe that's why i don't pick up on this super annoying way of pronouncing words?
