Steve Bunce/Max Kellerman is doing my head in

[Gandalf]

Saying Kellerman is an idiot is funny. I quite like that.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

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.

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

didn't y'kill?

didn't you kill my brutha?

They don't make songs like this anymore.

He said he wouldnt put khan or MAB anyway near Marquez or in with Daiz.

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.

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

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

[clintuk]

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

[SweetPea]

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.

Dean, how on earth does somebody from Canada know about Alexie Sayle? Used to love him on The Young Ones, class!

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

[porkypara]

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.
