Steve Bunce/Max Kellerman is doing my head in
Watching the Setanta coverage of Marquez-Diaz Steve Bunce talks so much shit. He is so biased about British fighters its unbelievable. No british fighters are fighting on this card so talking about them. Hatton and Calzaghe might as well be Joe Louis and Ali, the way he goes on about them. He bigs up British fighters and has digs at other countries boxers until one of them has a phone in and he licks their ass. Remember him speaking to Michael Jennings on the phone before the Cotto fight and Bunce saying "I'll think you'll beat him". What planet are you on ? Apart from Hatton and Calzaghe Britian has no other world class boxers and I include Amir Con and David" I have a glass chin and have never fought a decent fighter in my career"Haye in that so stop making them out to be superstars Bunce.

Re: Steve Bunce is doing my head in
I switched the broadcast off immediately after the Marquez fight so I didn't have to listen to him but I imagine he was probably telling the viewers that Khan's speed would be a factor in a match against JM Marquez if he gets past Barrera.
And how can he constantly criticise commentators like Max Kellerman who are theheight of professionalism compared to that fat, bald, hyperactive, babbling fool?
In all seriousness he mocks Kellerman all the time but can you even imagine HBO with Steve Bunce on it interviewing the fighters afterwards, it would be embarrassing.
He reminds me of Ricky Gervais for some reason from the Office as when he's interviewing someone he always puts on these annoying sighs and moans in aggreement with whatever the person happens to be saying.
He's the most sycophantic, bum licking interviewer to all of his guests and much of what he says is simply idiotic.
I would almost rather have Don Omega presenting. He talks as much shit as Bunce and has no charisma or personality at all. But no personality is sooooo much better than Bunce's personality.
I dislike him almost as much as I dislike James De Gale.

Re: Steve Bunce is doing my head in
He does talk a little too much for me:rolleyes:
-
Re: Steve Bunce is doing my head in
He does spout some silly stuff. Saying Jennings would beat Cotto is just nutty talk. He is totally ethnocentric in all he says, which I think is a bit unprofessional.
-
Re: Steve Bunce is doing my head in
He said he wouldnt put khan or MAB anyway near Marquez or in with Daiz.

Re: Steve Bunce is doing my head in
You guys all seem to dislike him, but this interview had me rolling!hehe I cannot say I disagree with him here.

the biggest prob. I have with the guy is he doesn't do that at all. He says one thing, then flip flops right into pandering to whatever fighter he is speaking with. I don't mind opinionated people, but not without any consistancy.

Re: Steve Bunce is doing my head in
I don't like Bunce but he was spot on about Kellerman.
Kellerman is fucking useless.
-
Re: Steve Bunce is doing my head in
To be fair, irrespective of the criticisms of Buncey, his programme is a welcome one as there is no other boxing magazine on, apart from the very odd ITV one.

Ya until he gets face to face with Kellerman, where he'll offer him flowers and the promise of felatio afterwards.

Don't knock Bunce bro. He is much better in his current career than in his previous one below.

I thought that was the customary British greeting? If it's not, Big H has some serious explaining to do.

Re: Steve Bunce is doing my head in
Saying Kellerman is an idiot is funny. I quite like that. ;D

Well either of those two would murder Khan in a round so I would have to agree. MAB already has been in with Marquez in a very good scrap despite the cards. Shit, MAB even dropped Marquez which is more than Diaz managed.

i hate max kellerman soooooo much...
and im not the only one..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYjcEH1MylQ
its no revelation that many within the boxing circle including us fans completely loathe the guy and everything about him, but its about time something got done about it.
With merchant you know your gonna get cutting edge questions and sometimes certain ones are uncalled for. But this guy cant hold a candle to a man who has a good 30-40 years on him and in all honesty their are probably a whole host of talented young boxing nuts who could get in the ring and do a far better job than this complete clown.
My hatred of the guy started when he told joe calzaghe he wouldnt be able to justify 17 years of dominance unless he fighted contender Chad Dawson??? but in time with every HBO telecast that this guy presides over my fury has grown and grown to the point i have to turn the volume down to mute just to get away from his annoying and biased calling of a world title fight.
Does anyone on here by any chance have any sway with HBO.....or perhaps a far range sniper rifle :(:(:(

Re: Steve Bunce/Max Kellerman is doing my head in
I like Buncey, i dont know if its cuz we have so little other options on our tellys but i like what he has to say and his enthusiasm.
He can be a bit of a dick, he can say some stupid shit, he does his fair share of brown nosing when he has to, but most of the time he reminds me more of a boxing fan than a boxing pundit which is what i like.
and 2 other points, 1 hes so much less annoyin that the goon that goes into the dressin rooms on ITV coverage of boxin, that guys a true tit i dont even think he likes boxing. and 2, he pissed Hopkins off big time once. Quality.

I agree with pretty much all of that, and really WHO can blame him for being scared of Hopkins that time. There are also times where he does actually show that he knows what he's talking about, like the other night where he said he didn't even know whether they shoulda put Khan near MAB, let alone Diaz or Marquez

Re: Steve Bunce/Max Kellerman is doing my head in
Buncey can be a dick sometimes, and like others have said do all the brown nosing when it needs to be done, but really he just makes the talk more interesting than any other channel... clearly, because everyones talking about him on here!
Don't see anyone posting topics about Barry McGuigan or the dudes on Sky Sports, basically because although they may know what they're talking about, they don't have as much gusto or interest, or even harsh opinions like Buncey does... I kinda welcome him, can be a breath of fresh air a lot of the time.... and no, I'm not brown nosing him :P
Although I did like how he got on about Joe Cortez a little while back, can't remember who fought now but took him 10 mins to make a DQ decision which in an interview afterward was apparently clear in his mind... that guy has no business reffing top matches

Re: Steve Bunce/Max Kellerman is doing my head in
I think Max does a solid job, and I'm always confused about why so many people here seem to act like Max stole their girlfriend.

What a knob Kellerman is. Buncey is right, love to plant an uppercunt on that clowns chin.

Re: Steve Bunce/Max Kellerman is doing my head in
The reason Bunce is not agressive to his guests is because if they thought they were going to get a grilling every time they went on his show then they would just give it a miss.
He says what he thinks which is a rarity in todays tv world.;D
