Who else dislikes Max Kellerman ?

[mathed]

I used to think Max was pretty good but the whole HBO crew....well he and Lampley are so biased for their name fighters, that it gets annoying at times. RJJ is like that too but he at least deviates when the "other" guy is doing good work. Max tries to put a new age spin on things but both he and Lampley act like they know every single thing about the sport and are the end all and be all of boxing truth.

I still say to this day that old ass Merchant was one of the most entertaining commentators around. He would call out the house fighter and it was just as funny as it was sad watching him get lost during one of his drunken post-fight stories.

He keeps trying to tell you how 'special' and 'sensational' everything you're watching is. But unfortunately he's not quite eloquent enough to do it without sounding like he's trying to sell you shit out of the back of his car.

LMAO...that is a good point. Pretty accurate description.

Did anyone catch this tool's interview with Rungvisai after Chocolatito lost?

"You just beat.....You just got the decision against what many people regard as the P4P best fighter in the world."

What a ****ing ****head. That sort of remark, if it has any place at all, should be reserved for blatant highway robberies. Kellerman decided to frame Rungvisai's hard earned win in what was a close fight as some sort of fraudulent decision just because their guy lost.

Honestly HBO's coverage of that fight was a disgrace. Embarrassing stuff.

i gave up on commentary long time ago. all these mofos are pushing agendas and d*ck riding. HBO, Showtime, Box Nation, whoever. . I'm watching fights with foreign commentators now so I can make up my own mind about who won. not understanding a word they say helps. and with those guys theres no "unofficial" worthless card flashed across the screen. that **** right there is nothing but mind control. I don't need Lederman telling me who won the damn round.

watching fights with those guys you get caught up with their bias instead of focusing on the fight.

and Max needed to be smacked for how he disrespected Rungvisai post fight.

Yeah, the way he tried to steal credibility from Rungvisai was some shady MSM type schit. I was just hoping for a good fight and I guess pulling for Chocolatito to get the win. During the fight, I was like damn, this guy is doing a number on Gonzalez. He deserves all the credit in the world for a great performance and HBO should be putting that guy on and pushing him like they were pushing Gonzalez.

Indeed, nothing annoys me more than Max going on and on comparing the HBO "house fighter" to an all-time great while the HBO "house fighter" is actually into a fight against a very live dog. For example, during the Chocolatito vs Cuadras fight, in the 3rd or 4th rd, Max was wasting time comparing Gonzalez to Alexis Aguello while Cuadras was putting some work on Roman. Max, how about describing the fight and reserve the hyperboles for another time!
Don't even get me started on how he was so condescending with Sor Rugvisai during the post fight interviews.

Max has been full of himself ever since he got The first take gig

When I listen to Kellerman on a HBO broadcast, it always reminds me of that scene in 40 Year Old ****** where Steve Carrell's character gives away the fact that he's a ****** by comparing a tit to a bag of sand.

Now to another ******, that would probably sound like a perfectly sound comparison. But everyone else hears it and thinks "A bag of sand?....Dude are you a ******?"

That's what Kellerman sounds like when he talks boxing.

[krazyn8tive]

Personally I don't know the guy but I can't stand his commentating. He should go back to wrestling. I like how Roy Jones Jr always makes him look ****** when he doesn't know what he's talking about. Who else dislikes Max ?

Rjj is the worst. He's a bumbling idiot.

I think max is OK hes actually one of my favorite commentators. Lampley annoys me though.

[Big_L]

Max is a know-it-all and conducts horrible interviews.

People love to hate on Merchant and Big George but that was the most entertaining team they've had.
