    He's beginning to grow on me but he really doesn't know bout boxing. He's an MMA guy. Showtime still gas him under contract n need something for him to do now that strikeforce is dead.

      Yeah this guy needs to go. Say what you will about Kellerman but he's a true fan and absolutely loves boxing. Sure he can nuthug, but he can also stick up for what's right, like recently defending Rigondeaux and "the sweet science" in general.

      Gus and his "nuts and guts" was hilarious.

      I just want a boxing guy calling the fight, i.e someone who really understands what they are watching.

          And i don't mind a little nut hugging or extra hype from commentators. The flip side is teddy atlas who constantly ****s on fighters even if the are like C level guys, it just becomes really negative and is a turn off. You have some casuals who might tune in and maybe its a good fight yet they here atlas constantly talk negative about the fighters and maybe they think "oh well these guys must suck" and turn the channel.

              I wasn't a fan of his work post Pride but he has dialed it back a lot and become more professional when calling boxing. He is a decent play by play man and 10x better then that idiot Gus.

                  I cant stand most commentators tbh.....

                  Ranallo=sh.it voice for boxing.
                  Bernstein=Has strong (generally wrong) pre-concieved notions and calls the fights based on those notions, not on what's actually happening. Is really passionate aboout boxing.
                  Paulie=Pretty good, but kind of biased for similar styles to his.
                  Farhood=typical NSB'ish elitist "boxing purist" ****.
                  Lampley=GREAT voice.....but sh.it understanding of the sport. Company man.
                  Ward=A bit boring...dont have a problem directly with him, but his presence forces the HBO commentators to feel the need to blow him instead of paying attention to the fight.
                  RJJr=Pretty good, like Paulie, but he is not as good communicating....also same problem as ward, Kellerman is always taking some time to gargle on his nuts.
                  Kellerman=Loves boxing and all that...but the man has lost the plot, he is so unprofessional...like some have already said, his behaviour is NSB'ish. And he is showing his bias more and more.
                  Atlas-Bitter, negative nancy. Repeats himself too damn much...and always ignores wats actually happeing on the fight for long stretches...his personality is kind of entertaining but he just sucks at calling the action.

                    "ADRIEN, you REALLY just KICKED THE HELL out of him. I'd take you through the (two) knockdowns, but THERE WERE SO MANY OF THEM."

                    Max Kellerman is a ****ing tool. Just like everybody in NSB. At least Ranallo keeps it impartial.
                    First off, there was a time not long ago that P-Will (same time as Margarito) was avoided by all the big names at 147, 154, and 160.

                    Secondly, 95% of fight fans outside of the UK are of the opinion that Collazo got jobbed vs Hatton AND Berto.

                    Lastly, you keep crapping on NSB posters but here you are posting. So you're defecating on yourself, friend.
