Max Kellerman

[holmcall]

Sad but true, Max has gone HOLLYWOOD and is no longer fan-accessible. What this twity nerd of a prat forgets is that if it were not for the fighters, he would never have had a chance to be an imbecile in plain sight.

[Lance Uppercut]

I like Max. I think he is great, and I look forward to his commentary at the end of the fight.

[dee_z_r]

is he the one that asked calzaghe about fighting dawson after the rjj fight?

[Lance Uppercut]

is he the one that asked calzaghe about fighting dawson after the rjj fight?

Yeah. That is why I like him: he doesn't go easy on anyone.

Kellerman is on some uppers or something. I swear he is way too emphatic about some stuff. His eyes look like they are gonna pop outta his head sometimes.

Anyone catch when Kellerman talking to Calzaghe after BHop or RJJ. Kellerman asked him about getting off the mat in the Eubank fight years ago and Calzaghe just agreeing with him?
I was so confused. He knocked the socks off of Eubank in that first round. Had him hit the canvas in the first 15 seconds. I think Calz was not listening to him. I think he already had in his mind what he was going to say. You;d think he would correct him on that fact.

Any1?

Max is not a bad color commentator and is next in line to take Jim Lampleys place for sure. Someone has to anyway because Jim is hitting 60 and Merchant is 78. And yes he does look a little high in some of the fights.

[Spicoli]

He takes alot of flack,but I like him.Clearly odd on camera but all in all hes solid.He's essentially Lampleys 'spell check' when Jim misreads his pre fight stat sheets and notes

thats true steve bunce puts it out there, he even got into it with bhop face to face.

i thoguht his worse interview recently was his interview with juan diaz after he lost to jmm.

i remember that line, it must of hurt really bad

"HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING FROM YOUR FIGHT AGANIST NATE CAMPBEL"...WHAT AN ASSS ESP AFTER JUAN WAS KO

[CutMeMick]

Max has paid his dues...

I think a lot of people don't know where he came from and what he's done in order to be there.
I'm not saying his opinions are right and or his word is final but Max does look at things from a neutral point whenever he analyses a subject.

People think Max career started with ESPN, when in reality it started yrs. before that in his living room as a teen.

Make no mistake about it, Max is a hardcore boxing analist. Not a "sports anchor" who was directed to boxing nope. Boxing is it for him it's been a part of him since his childhood.

Or alternatively he was shittin himself as B-Hop got into it with him. No disrespect for that, most of the members on here would as well regardless of how 'hard' they might try to portray themselves.

I think what Bunce said on Kellerman that time was fair though, his interviews with both Chris John & Juan Diaz were disgraceful, and he definitely deserved a slap. However, I didn't think him asking Calzaghe about Dawson was out of order, let's remember Dawson isn't an HBO fighter, he's just a guy who might well become the best LHW in the world.

Also he is certainly no more disrespectful to fighters than that old fart Merchant, who gets right on fighters dicks (Oscar anyone??) and half the time cannot call a fight legitimately. Whatever people say about Kellerman, he is usually pretty good at calling fights, and his passion & honesty is good to see. I loved how he seemed like he wanted to punch up Larry after the old git tried to set up a rematch for his boy Oscar, and Max just said, anyone who even tries to score that as close as 115-113 for Floyd, he would have a serious problem with. Let's face it, he IS one of us, in a way that Merchant or Lampley never will be.

i actually thought that was stupid should of asked him about facing hopkins again (who would beat him if they did fight again)
