    "Story of the fight doe."

    Tired of hearing that garbage. Lol

    Kellerman is an idiot. HBO boxing when downhill when he replaced Merchant permanently. I'm pretty sure he's one the main reasons HBO decided to quit airing boxing.

        He's a provocateur. Be opinionated, work people up, get people talking, and be somebody viewers "love to hate" and keep watching.

        It worked for Howard Cosell, it works for Piers Morgan among others, and now Kellerman's almost a joke version of himself. He's even taken the joke from boxing into basketball and other sports (for which he has little expertise at all).

        Remember where he came from? The AMATEURS. He wasn't a professional broadcaster. He didn't have vocal training. He turned up on a Manhattan TV Cable public access channel along with hundreds of other awkward, goofy-voiced odd-looking opinionated oddballs. Somebody was watching "MAX ON BOXING" and figured, "Hmm, this guy is enthusiastic. The "common guy" will relate to somebody who talks jerky and looks like he's had too much Red Bull. I bet he works CHEAP."

        He was a college kid who majored in history, and he got lucky. Soon he replaced slow-talking Larry Merchant and once he became well-known he got to be more of an egomaniac and learned that being "controversial" was a good thing.

        I agree, whatever he says, a good number of people will agree with. He's pretty savvy most of the time. He's also annoying without the humor and self-parody of a Cosell or Piers Morgan. He takes himself seriously. He got that scar on his lip from biting on an electrical cord when he was a kid. Now he's sparking controversy and having viewers bite their lips in aggravation.
