why is Max Kellerman still on TV?

[gamefrk]

IMO it's Kellerman who keeps Lampley in check whenever he goes over-board with his comments.

Having Roy on or off the broadcast team wouldn't make a difference, I'll remember him for the infamous OOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo that he screamed out when Pacquiao got ice'd.

Imo none of the commentators on HBO are good

Max is on point with his analyses and insights regarding the finer details of what's taking place in fight and the the boxing game as whole. Sad that you guys miss so much of what's actually taking place.[/QUOTE]

Have you ever laced up a pair of gloves???

Roy is terrible. People seemed to complain about Lewis but Lewis wasn't that bad. Roy seems like he isn't even paying attention sometimes like he got called on in class.

The typical exchange is like:

Jim: "Roy tell us what you see in the replay"

Roy: "Well there... As you see he threw a punch there. Those punches hurt. Nobody like to get punched like that. But he reacted.".

Jim: "...Thank you Roy"

Bring back George Foreman. Foreman is not there anymore, right?

You obviously haven't if you think Max if versed in the finer nuances of the sport. Roys analysis is always spot on, and reflects what is about to happen.

Roy is bias. And although a great fighter in his day--he adds no insight. Kellerman is a fanboy who doesn't understand what it's like to be in the ring. I think for entertainment Lampley is the voice of boxing, and merchant was great before he went senile.

Bottom line is: the hbo guys are better than that lame mma-esque broadcast on showtime. Which is a shame because they have the more interesting fights. (And Al Bernstein will always strike me as a bottom tier analyst. Too many Friday nights for Al).

I think Max is great. He's a real fan of the sport and knows his stuff.

I was reading that in Roy and Lampleys voice pmsl!
