Re: Larry Merchant destroyed fights with his sour commentary!
I'm second guessing the time wasted in responding but here goesOriginally Posted by Freedom
I don't remember that, but he would support an Asian boxer like Tszyu (Kostya had a Korean mother, like Golovkin) over a White boxer like Hatton.No. He said "the sport of boxing would be better without the Klitschkos" and went on and on many times about how the only reason Wlad was dominating was because it's a "weak division".And say Wlad was supremely skilled and good for the sport but was just not that entertaining?No. He said Calzaghe was knocked down by a "shot" Eubank in their fight (a lie), that Hopkins was robbed against Calzaghe (a lie), and that Calzaghe only dominated 168 because it was a "weak division" (another lie).Didn't he also say Calzaghe was better than a top form Spinks?
Other examples:
Max said "Berto defeated Urango by a wider margin on the scorecards than Ricky Hatton did" after the Berto-Urango fight. That's a lie - check BoxRec for the scorecards.
Max said "Rahman is taking this fight on THREE weeks notice" during the Rahman-Klitschko HBO telecast. Old news reports on boxing sites can verify it was SIX weeks notice - Rahman agreed to the fight in late October and fought Wlad on Dec 13.
Or maybe he thought the established 10 yr vet champ held the advantage over a full frontal buzz saw from across the pond who had yet to step in with the best or come Stateside. Not sure if Max digs Korean Milfs and not sure what they have to do with it but many people had Tszyu thumping Hatton and Hatton turned the boxing world on its head.
Nope, he said he belongs and that he respects him. Lets be honest Wlad did have a bit of a cake walk and Kellerman was no different than many doubters. Shit, the entire network wrote Wlad off as 'premium' network time because style and approach in his late years. I smell a much much broader conspiracy bud. Grab the Reynolds wrap. Kellerman slammed Wlad early on as did more than a few when he was bounced off the canvas with Sanders and Brewster. Max didn't go there because he was a spastic Jewish boxing nerd in a designer leather jacket hiding an agenda...he went there because Wlad had legitimate doubts that we all saw.
Just interested to know where Max said Hopkins was robbed? I know that kicked up all over the place, here included but was it the same night he called Calzaghe a legit truly great fighter and top p4p? And when telling him for landing the most punches ever on Hopkins. Or when he said Calzaghe would beat a prime Spinks in The Ring? You see you can do this hunt and peck all day finding dumb-accurate things any blowhard on a live mic says. Contradiction about a live moving sport in the archived world. Or on a keyboard. Kellerman may be a lot of things, but he wears it one the sleeve, has done some research and isn't afraid to admit he's wrong...if you threaten a wedgie! If you're stuck on Max being a Jew, then you're stuck and there you will remain. This is boxing talk after all.
seriously if he said Hopkins was robbed vs Calzaghe I have to see that. That's just bad. My god that was an ugly fight.
