Email HBO To Get That Farce Max Kellerman Off The Air............

[A-50]

Max Kellerman ran ESPN Friday Night Fights into the ground, after he left the ratings went up 30%.

He ran Fox Sports Boxing into the ground also (not that it was any good to begin with, but he made a terrible product even worse)

And if this clown keeps doing World Championship Boxing fights, he will run it in the ground also.

I seriously could not listen to that idiot last night, say what you will about Merchant, but he is 10 times the announcer/analyst Kellerman will ever be.


And let's not forget Kellerman gave us the "Roy Jones would beat Joe Frazier" comment. :patsch

I just sent an email to HBO letting them know that Kellerman is destroying their product, I encourage anyone else here who feels the same to do so also.

[Jennifer Love Hewitt]

Usually I'm indifferent toward Kellerman, yeah he says stupid stuff and then contradicts himself 3 minutes later but, I can usually write it off. Last night he was in rare form. He was awful even for Kellerman! Kellerman WAS terrible last night! I so missed Larry Merchant.

[sandwichsurgeon]

Can't we set up an ESB petition to try and get this tw@ off the air?

[o_money]

I used to like him a lot. I was even pumped when he got the call by hbo. But he's been off late.

I wont write the guy off just yet though

[nervousxtian]

I like the guy.. Atlas is the one who continues to try and ruin FnF.. but in the the end FnF was down because they were showing crap fights for a long while.. they invested back in the product again after Max left, and pulled better fights.

In the end, the fighters make the fights, not the commentators.. none of us turned into see Lampley, Steward, or Merchant.. we tune into see the fighters.

Kellerman spoke the truth at the end of that fight.. Ricky fans just don't want to hear it.. Ricky is still great, and he beat a legend, and years from now it'll still look like a great win on his ledger.

[achillesthegreat]

He isn't fit enough to carry Merchants Jack Daniels for him.

[Imperial1]

I agree he is the worst !!Where do I sign up ?

[Zakman]

Kellerman is utterly unqualified. Unlike most boxing commentators, this bozo was just handed the job because of CONNECTIONS. Any other boxing commentator you could name has PAID DUES by working as a boxing journalist, participant, etc. And it SHOWS in how little this twerp knows about the sport. Let's get RID of this incompetent punk!! Here's the email address, gang:

yeah but on the other hand, Merchant doesn't suck cock so...
Merchant>Kellerman

[RUSKULL]

All HBO has to do is have a random drug test and Kellerman will fail for sure. He looks wired to the gills and he talks like his tongue is too big for his mouth. Did you ever see Ben Stiller's version of Starsky when he takes the Cocaine thinking it's just sugar? That's the way Max sounds to me everytime he opens his mouth. He also has a cheesey, low class New York accent and that's coming from a NYer!!!

[Imperial1]

Did anyone notice how bloodshot Max's eyse were ??I didn't know you can do a broadcast high ??:smoke

I wont write the guy off just yet though

Yea, I liked him at first, but he is so full of hinself now he makes me :tired

[rustyj]

Maybe Kellerman and ViciousBoxer are in league to take over the boxing ranks! WIth Vicious sparring heavyweights, we have witnessed the beginning of the end! The darkside of boxing has been unleashed!

Give me Atlas!!! I don't understand how alot of you don't like him??? The man knows his shit and speaks the damn truth IMO.

I prefer Atlas as well ..

[achillesthegreat]

:lol: On fire? The guy on his best days can barely spit out a sentence in less than half an hour. Oh yeah Larry is smokin'.
You don't know what you are on about. Merchant routinely boys up legends in the game such as Steward, Lewis and Foreman.

[BigEars]

Give me Atlas!!! I don't understand how alot of you don't like him??? The man knows his shit and speaks the damn truth IMO.

I think it's the constant repeating of the same point that annoys people about Atlas . He's gotta fight bigger' , 'He should be fighting bigger' , 'if X was fighting this fight tall' , 'He should use his advantage and fight tall'
Note that all of that will be said in the course of one round , he will then repeat this for 12 .

Out of American commentators Al Bernstein and the blow by blow commentator for Showtime are the best in my view .

Still can't be Ian Darke and Jim Watt though ;) .

[Zakman]

Give the jew moretime, its very very hard to replace a legend suchas Larry Merchant.

If not Kellerman, then WHO?

ANYBODY.

Al Bernstein or Steve Farhood would be the best choices - both qualified boxing journalists who know the sport inside and out.

I'd even take O'Grady before Kellerman, and that's saying something!

I agree, I would take ANYONE over that joke Kellerman and that includes hacks like O'Grady or a nutcase like Atlas.

Sure bud. Merchant often electrifies me with his quick witted responses.

And................. he............................. land............ed .......................... a ................. great............... left......................:dead...................:cheers..................................hook. :lol:
Yeah, he does talk fucking slow sometimes. The speed of his speech isn't indictive of if he is right or wrong.

[nervousxtian]

Atlas is the WORST boxing commentator of ALL TIME. He is freaking terrible. He makes Fran Charles look like Howard Cosell.

I like Kellerman, he honestly loves the sport, his knowledge is much much better than what you guys give him credit for, and his enthusiasm for the sport is much needed. Merchant has become a crumudgeon as of late, same with Atlas.. I mean shit at times I swear you see Tessitore rolling his eyes at the crap that Teddy says, and you know he wants to punch him when he repeats the same damn thing 100 times in a round. Just call the damn fight already. Teddy can't let his "trainer" mentality stay put, he's gotta act like he's the best trainer ever, and he knows exactly what should be done.. but he wasn't a great trainer.. that's why he's doing what he's doing.

The same knowledge that said Glass Jaw Roy Jones would beat Joe Frazier? Or the same knowledge that said Zab Judah would be an all time great? Do I need to keep on going here? The guy is a joke plain and simple, and he is where he is today because of his family and nothing else. There are at least 25 other guys more qualified than that nuthugger Kellerman.

[Zakman]

I like Kellerman, he honestly loves the sport, his knowledge is much much better than what you guys give him credit for, and his enthusiasm for the sport is much needed.
Pu-leez. What did Kellerman DO before Cayton handed him that ESPN gig?? Answer - the punk hosted some rinky-dink cable access show in NY. That's IT, that's the extent of his "training" for these positions. And it SHOWS.

The twerp is utterly unqualified. HBO needs a seasoned commentator like Bernstein who's paid his dues as a boxing journalist and consequently actually KNOWS something about the sport.:yep

[H .]

Dudes, I explained this once before and got no response, so I'll do this one more time.

I missed the fight, I was at a party and they didn't have HBO. My old man calls me to see if I saw the fight, and I said "No, but don't tell me what happened cause I'll probably see it on HBO 2 or 3 tomorrow morning." He replies saying "Well, all I have to say is that Kellerman sucks. He is an idiot. A complete and total idiot. He sucks." I was just like okay.
I'm watching the fight in a couple hourse, but what the hell happened?

[Shotgun]

I like Kellerman, he honestly loves the sport, his knowledge is much much better than what you guys give him credit for

How is it better? He's wrong with his fight picks and analysis more often than your average poster on ESB, much less someone who is paid a hefty salary by a major TV network. Kellerman is a joke

[nervousxtian]

Being wrong with fights picks don't mean shit. Shit, look at the betting lines, and the guys on ESB. You can't always predict the fight.

I'm not even talking about predictions, I'm just saying the guy knows a lot more about the sport than you guys give him credit for.

Not sure what it's so in fad to be hating Kellerman.

Because he's UNQUALIFIED. Name me one other boxing commentator that has NEVER worked as a boxing journalist or been a former participant in professional boxing. You can't. Kellerman got his job because his family had CONNECTIONS with Bill Cayton, he did nothing to earn it or to acquire experience, and it SHOWS.

And for the record, I've hated Kellerman ever since they sacked the best commentator in the sport, Al Bernstein to put put this unqualified punk on ESPN. Get RID of this poser, he's hurting the sport!! :happy

What does he know about the sport? Watching a bunch of old fights and knowing a lot about the history of boxing doesn't mean you have a good understanding. Kellerman knows a lot about boxing history but knows very little about boxing

[Stovepipe]

I don't like him.

[Butch Coolidge]

If Kellerman kept his mouth shut for most of the fights and would occasionally say something funny and obnoxious that would be Larry Merchant ( although I truly believe Merchant to be much, much, mucho much more insightful than Kellerman. )

[teetop]

I did my part. Fuck kellerman

[buddynabuick]

Give me Atlas!!! I don't understand how alot of you don't like him??? The man knows his shit and speaks the damn truth IMO.


Atlas is cool. O'grady is my fav. Berstein, merchant anyone but that TWIT kellermam:rofl

Well, that may be how he got the first job. The years of experience with ESPN and Fox Sports have led him to HBO.

What's next.. Max Kellerman has a china chin?

How about the Colonel Bob Sheridan.

[o_money]

Yea, I liked him at first, but he is so full of hinself now he makes me :tired

I think its more that he was better at what he did before, which was more of a boxing talk show, attached to a live card.

There he could prep his talking points and didn't have to come up with live comments that revealed his lack of spontaneity.

I still think that if he's able to sit back and watch a fight two or three times he can come up with some good insites or if he's asked a question like how would this guy do against this guy. but as far as doing it all on the sper of the momment: its just not his thing.

[Shotgun]

I don't hate Max Kellerman, I just think he need to find a new line of work.

I'm sure the black porn industry is always looking for fluffers, and his resume in that field is impressive. Maybe he should be texting Mr. Marcus right about now.

People are so full of shit.

Ratings went up on Friday Night Fights because they got 2 exclusive contracts for showing fights after Kellerman left.

Fox sports boxing was crap, crap fighters, crap records, crap bouts. Not even Howard Cosell could have saved that shit show.

Kellerman is an annoying blow hard "see I told you I knew what I was talking about" prick, I personally can't stand his style of acting like a adolscent know-it-all, but to blame him for bad management and production of entire sports series telecasts is simply rediculous.

Fuck Kellerman, he's not fit for a local broadcast, much less a massive production show like HBO puts on.

You guys are so sad. Trying to get a guy fired because you don't like him. I doubt that anyone here would not watch a fight because of the hosts. If you did that would prove a point about you not anyone else. Kellerman may not be everyones cup of tea, but he does his job. Not to mention that he probably has a pretty hefty contract that HBO would have to buy out. If you want to get someone fired, call the white house. There are a few people there that should be fired before Kellerman !!!

[platnumpapi]

i like max, out with the old and in with the new.he keeps that shit eeal and aint affriad to aruge with jim and manny.and when they nut hug fighters hes there to say fuck that.

maad max is the man.

[CarltonBlues]

How about the Colonel Bob Sheridan.

He's my favorite and lucky for me he does most of the calls for Australia. Tessitore is good too though. Dav Bon Tempo is a great for special comments aswell.

I don't know how the American fans put up with the hapless HBO crew?

[smokey]

Kellerman isn't THAT bad. A bunch of Hatton just got their panties in a wad, because he said what most people were thinking, "Gee, Castillo seems like he really did have nothing left." Manny said it from round one that it looked like Castillo was a shot fighter. He gave Hatton a chance to answer the critics right there before it started on sports shows and the papers.

Kellerman comes off as overly intense to me, but I wouldn't say he needs to be fired off a few legitimate questions after Saturday night's fight. He didn't berrate Hatton. He gave him his chance to answer and then made his honest commentary after the fight... isn't that his job?

[Jinx]

Hatton groupies don't like Kellerman because he told the truth about Hatton...Kellerman only dropped the ball by saying Castillo was shot...

[pipe wrenched]

Kellerman Sucks!!! Can't help it just do not like him nor do i want to hear
ANYTHING he feels the need to say.

[Boxfan1]

He blew it when he discredited Hattons' victory by saying that the other guy was shot. What a total idiot. I wonder if he'll say the same thing about Wlad after he beats Brewster? OF COURSE HE WILL!!!!

I'll admit I was happy to see him on board with HBO, but as soon as he opened his giant mouth and started spitting out his biased nonsense, I thought to myself "they need to fire his ass".

[Boxfan1]

HBO should bring back Big George, or hire Rowdy Roddy Piper.

[deram]

Kellerman is an american rednexk in the mould of "boxing4real" on youtube.

An embarrasment for the US as he makes american fans look dumb - and the unfortunate ones that actually believe his nationalistic bs will sound dumb as well.

I would want to get rid of him if I was American.

US TV has good potential as shown by CNN etc. but HBO is not doing itself any favors by airing red neck bull shit like what comes out of Max' mouth most of the time.

[Rumsfeld]

I sent mine. Kellerman SUCKS!!

[DamonD]

I've sent my email stating that unless Kellerman is either removed or offers a full apology on a subsequent programme that I shall no longer watch boxing on HBO.

Of course, I don't watch boxing on HBO anyway!!

[RUSKULL]

If not Kellerman, then WHO?

See my previous post. Al Bernstein, Teddy Atlas, Sean O'Grady, even the Colonel from England's broadcasts is a better choice IMO.

Why does he have such a hard time holding a job? :?

Why does he have such a hard time holding a job? :?

Because he's INCOMPETENT. He has literally NO qualifications to hold the jobs he's held, he got them ONLY because of CONNECTIONS.

Never was a boxing journalist, never was a participant in pro boxing - like ANY other commentator you could name!

ALL he ever did before Daddy got him his job at ESPN was have some rinky-dink cable access show in NY. That's IT.:patsch

Get those emails flying - let's get RID of this unqualified punk!

Someone post this thread on every boxing forum. After HBO receives enough emails asking to take Kellerman on and keepr merchant, maybe they might get a hint.

[Boxfan1]

Okay, this is going to sound crazy. How about Mike Tyson instead of Kellerman. He knows boxing history. He has boxed. He has been a world champion. He has a sense of humor. He appreciates what boxers go through. He may prefer the wacky weed over the cheap scotch, but give him time. The man shows promise.

I would love that but Merchant and HBO would never allow that. There is a long history after the Buster Douglas fight with Tyson and HBO.

[Boxfan1]

You never know. Imagine the ratings.

[A-50]

Tyson is certainly qualified, the ratings would be huge.

[Danny Ocean]

lol get a grip

[Boxfan1]

I can just see a Tyson interview after a fight. "Tell me Ricky, at what time did you know that Castillo was discombob..., discomb...., dicsom..., oh fuck it, when was he fucked?"

[Boxfan1]

"Don't disagree with me Jim and Larry, or I'll make you both my girlfriends"

[Kostya Zoo]

I'm quoting you because it's the same sort of point and you kind of admit why people are so annoyed.

The fact is: Hatton fought well - it's not his fault that Castillo was shot at that point.

Why the Hatton fans are annoyed was that Kellerman first said that he thought Castillo was going to win, in direct contradiction with the much more experienced Steward, then only changed his mind when Hatton started leathering Castillo in rd4.

So, 1) Kellerman's inconsistent and flip-flops at will.

2) he was incredibly discourteous to a fighter by discrediting his opponent and therefore his victory. As someone said yesterday, if Merchant had said it, it would have been phrased more as an enquiry, whether Hatton saw anything in that opinion or not and, if it was rude, it would have more likely been funny. Merchant is a journalist, he was always gracious and only picked on fighters when they try to justify stupid choices or blatant lies.

3) he's an attention seeking jerk, because while he was making his incredibly rude and disrespectful point after his favourite had been destroyed, he looked at the camera, almost raising his eyebrows. he said it to get a rise, to be a jerk. He wanted to be rude to Hatton - nothing else.

Fair enough, you say that to a Jermain Taylor after struggling with Spinks ("So, Jermain, congratulations but would you say your victory's been diminished by facing a smaller man and still not knocking him out? What do we need to put in front of you, Bobby Gunn?") but not to someone who's just entertained the fans and knocked out a very hardy fighter through a fantastic body shot.

4) he's rammed to the gills on coke, which explains his forceful, hyperactive manner which is distracting to the fight. the reason he's poor is that he was delibrately skewing the opinion against Hatton when Hatton was doing nothing worse than Castillo ("Oh, I didn't see any warning" - well Max, how about the two warnings over the past three rounds - shit even I noticed them - maybe you were too busy licking Castillo's nuts...) i don't think it's cause he couldn;t see the other side of what he was saying, it's just he was so gassed he couldn't actually stop himself from spewing garbage.

5) He admitted himself that he was revising his opinion, using his closing comments to again denigrate Hatton's performance in light of Castillo's condition. That's NOT hatton's fault. Yes, he wasn't prime Castillo, but on that form Ricky would still have still won.

If Kessler beats Calzaghe in September/Novemeber, I can't imagine any of Kessler's fans allowing people to say JC got old or was shot, so why does it apply to Hatton?

hatton came in, in his best shape, to fight the best Castillo - that Castillo couldn't deliver doesn't mean Hatton performed badly - he was great. he smothered Castillo's work, he got his shots off coming out of the clinches, he planned for when he could trap Castillo. It was sound tactics.

Sure it wasn't graceful, but the blatant bias of HBOs crew (excepting Steward) was disappointing.

I applaud your unbiased accuracy :happy


and Kellerman can kiss my ass

[achillesthegreat]

"Don't disagree with me Jim and Larry, or I'll make you both my girlfriends"
:lol:

[achillesthegreat]

Get rid of Steward and Lewis and Foreman, they are a mess.

Bring Jones or Tyson for expert commentary.

If Merchant is going replace with Bernstein or Atlas.

[DoumB]

Bernstein yes, Atlas, oh God, he is horrible as well. They need to either bring back Larry or bring in Al. Al has forgotten more boxing than Max has ever known or will ever know. I just finished contacting HBO Corporate, and voicing a complaint/demand for Kellerman's going back to BAD because he is not fit to carry Larry's shoes.

I for one agree with u jack, I emailed them with all the email I knew even the one of my girlfriend, I hope with the help of everyone we get him outta there soon

I seriously could not listen to that idiot last night, say what you will about Merchant, but he is 10 times the announcer/analyst Kellerman will ever be.


And let's not forget Kellerman gave us the "Roy Jones would beat Joe Frazier" comment. :patsch

I just sent an email to HBO letting them know that Kellerman is destroying their product, I encourage anyone else here who feels the same to do so also.

I sent one.

So many things wrong with boxing these days and the best you can do is try to get a guy fired because you don't like him. How about the power of boxing fans trying to fix the real problems with boxing. If Max is a problem, he is a very minor one at best !!!

Bernstein is the best, everything a boxing commentator should be. It was such an outrage when they trashed him and gave this unqualified twerp a position he didn't earn and didn't deserve.

You got that one right. I sometimes wonder if its really boxing that has the problem or if the so called fans are the problem !!! Either way it doesn't matter, because in the meantime boxing is getting run into the ground and Max Kellerman is the topic of concern. You have this Zakman character, with his, "come on guys, lets keep the e-mails coming". Making himself feel all important, like he's the leader of a revolution or something, what a joke. I ought to sit here all day and send support e-mails to HBO for the fabulous job that Kellerman is doing. But I have better things to do than fuck with another mans livelihood.

True that... and there are A LOT of fanbois on here and every other message board. It's natural to get behind a particular fighter or fighters, but this is ridiculous.

Kellerman sounds abrassive to me, but he just seems like a certain type of New Yorker who I always seem to run into. I'm from the South and those reall pushy, intense types always make me start feeling unfortable. I can't say EVERY person I've met from the New York/North Jersey area is like that, many are cool people. Still I've met a TON of people that sound just like Kellerman from that area. I always took his tone and seeming discourtesy as the typical New Yorker attitude .... at least what I've seen exported, having never lived there.

I always thought Kellerman was too full of himself on ESPN...still, I don't want a "yes" man who reads from an HBO approved telestrator.

[smokey]

I always thought Kellerman was too full of himself on ESPN...still, I don't want a "yes" man who reads from an HBO approved telestrator.

Yeah. The whole point of having a commentating crew is to get different opinions. I guess now if you say that you think a fighter got a good win, but it's not something that you consider to be a career defining, massive win, you should be fired.

Like I said earlier: the guy just said what he thought was the case. I thought Castillo looked like shot fighter before this fight. This fight showed that he was. I think he said basically the same thing I thought about the fight, but in that completely incourteous "Pushy New Yorker" that gets under my skin.

I'd say that Castillo looks to be on a fast downward decline, but Hatton should still get credit for beating him in a very decisive fashion. Most serious analysts didn't give Castillo any chance of winning, but few people called for an absolute destruction like we saw. I think Kellerman would be getting a lot less grief if he would have just phrased what he said differently... then I guess he wouldn't be Max Kellerman, though.

Also, all the people claiming he has "no qualifications" have a pretty bad argument, too. Most sports commentators don't have pro sports experience... they have commentating experience, and Max has quite a bit of it. HBO's formula is to have a blow-by-blow guy (Lampley), an expert analyst (Manny), and a color commentator (Merchant/Kellerman). I personally think the combination works well. I don't really like Kellerman that much, but I'm not going to play in some stupid email campaign to fire him. I can think of 100 things in the world that are more important than Max Kellerman.

Name me ONE other color commentator who did not work as a boxing journalist, or was a participant in professional boxing. There isn't ONE. Kellerman IS utterly unqualified, and it shows. HBO - the flagship network of boxing - needs someone better. Al Bernstein would be the perfect choice.

[deram]

A "yes" man is just what Kellerman is. He is the most predictable commentator out there in that he i not guided by what happens, but by his own nationalistic bias.

In fights between two americans he is guided by what he thought before the fight.

He is simple, annoying and a waste of space.

[fatcity]

Kellerman is a legend in his own mind.His delivery is condescending and annoying.He is no more qualified than a retarded field mouse.I thought HBO had more class than this but is falling into "shitck" over substance.
My e-mail has been sent.:good

[deram]

Yeah. The whole point of having a commentating crew is to get different opinions.


Is it?

Then I guess CNN needs to hire a Kellerman.

Bush Addressing the nation"

CNN commentator 1: "And now the president entered the room"
CNN Kellerman: "No he did not, he left the hallway - furthermore THAT is NOT the president. And if it is then he is doing a bad job.. or a hell of a job, depending on what you think... bla bla"

No, obviously the idea is to cover boxing in the best way possible. Be informative while entertaining.

Kellerman is neither.

________________

He is one of those unfortunate beings that is dumb in a particular way. He is too dumb to get embarrased by how dumb he is and not dumb enough for it to be so obvious that even someone as dumb as Max could not avoid catching on to it (like dribbling or something..).

He is just in that blind angle of dumbness.

[Zakman]

Kellerman is inexperienced as either a commentator or a journalist. Merchant was a well-respected print journalist who knows and, more importantly, understands the intricacies of boxing. All kellerman displays is a desire to be the centre of attention. His style is poor, there was no conversation between the commentators, nor debate, Kellerman just dismissed any point Steward had because he didn't accept he was wrong. Merchant, while he didn't always agree, always provided a debate on an issue. Kellerman's a shill, promoting his agenda above the truth.

Exactly. You have neatly summarized EXACTLY what is wrong with Kellerman, and why HBO needs to replace him with someone qualified!!

Someone like AL BERNSTEIN, for example....Wouldn't boxing fans rather have the BEST commentator in the sport at boxing's flagship network??

Not that I have to jusify myself - as ANY boxing fan has the RIGHT to express his disastisfaction with Kelllerman's inept commentary, but as a thirty year boxing fan I have never seem commentator so utterly unqualified as Kellerman.

HBO should have the best boxing commentators in the industry, not some unqualfied HACK who, along amoug commentators NEVER did any thing to acquire the experience and seasoning to qualify him for such a critcal position in the sport. It an uttter DISCRACE to the sport that thye just handed the job to the most utterly inexperienced and unqualified commentator in the sport. And boxing fans should be outraged that the job is being given to this incompetent hack on the basis of family connections. THat's just WRONG, and bad for the sport!!

We MUST stop this travesty. EMail HBO and let's get this twerp off tje air, before more damaged in done to this fine sport:

Get out of boxing. Kellerman is typical of the newer type of sportscaster. Boxing is just still mainly full of older guys. Many commentators for other sports have zero print experience. I would prefer that all commentators have some serious journalist experience, but it's not typical of the newer guys coming up.

Besides, Kellerman got started with his public access show pretty young. It's not like he came up through journalism. Yeah that's another example of the self hyping apect of his career, but that's the new breed of sportscaster.

My point isn't so much his qualifications. It's that there has been a holy jihad declared against him for saying what a lot of people also think as an assessment of the fight. I know Hatton fans have a crush on him like a teenage girl dreaming about Drake Bell (I have a teenage daughter, don't get any ideas), but the fact is that Castillo looked like crap from the opening bell... just like he looked in his previous two fights. Saying that the wars have worn him down isn't disprectfull... it's a fact.

[Carlos Primera]

HBO should replace their entire crew with Don Omega and The Iron Truth.
:lol:
fuckin comedy those 2.

[smokey]

I see the point you're making, but that's not what Kellerman did - he didn't say Castillo was shot until the fourth round, actively picking Castillo as his favourite to win before that pojnt. He then admitted he was was rewriting history by saying that Castillo was shot.



Alright. I can concede that point. I took his commentary as a part of the whole, which included Manny saying that Castillo looked bad from the beginning of round 1.

I can't defend the guy too much. I personally don't like him. I just saw the email campaign to unseat him as clearly motivated by a bunch of Hattonites who are pissed he said mean things about their boyfriend :p

Besides, how can anyone get upset about him when the likes of Jim Grey still has a job?

[Zakman]

Noone wants the brash loud kid who talks garbage 9/10 over a wise, respected and pleasant to listen to veteran who understands the sport explicitly.

Exactly - what HBO needs is a verteran, experienced commenatator who can provide insight into the sport, someone who has PAID DUES working as a boxing journalist and has therefore acquired some experience and knowledge about the sport. Not some wet-behind the ears punk who got his job handed to him because of family connections. It's an utter travesty that HBO would force this inpompetent pipsqueak on the boxing public and we can only hope they correct this mistake soon

Public pressure brought Merchant back, and we can get force HBO to replace Kellerman with someone qualified, too:

I like Kellerman. He shows passion for the sport. He also brings up the things that the more-than-casual fan is interested in.

The only thing I don't like about Kellerman are his post-fight interviews. Unless he's putting a fighter on the spot for a dubious effort or decision, his questions come off as uninteresting.

But as an analyst, he's observant, passionate, and sometimes insightful.

Just remember, Howard Cossell was absolutely hated when he first came on the air and now we realize he was the start of a new generation of announcers.

Boxing has bigger problems than Kellerman. Why don't you try to fix those ??? Actually Kellerman isn't a problem with boxing, some people just don't prefer him. Just like Merchant, Atlas, or Bernstien. For everyone that doesn't like him, there is someone somewhere that does. If you don't like Kellerman, don't watch the show. But trying to get a man fired from his job, just because you don't like him, and when he has done nothing wrong is just plain petty and shows how much of a punk you are. Hopefully sometime soon, someone will try to get you fired from your taco bell job, because they don't like you !!!

Well I finally did it. I wrote an impassioned letter asking HBO to
replace the unqualified punk Kellerman with a true boxing analyst
Al Bernstein. I don't like messing with someone's livelihood but
Max's performance at the Hatton, Castillo fight was disgraceful,
incompetent and really insulting to both fighters. The first words
out of his mouth after Hatton's sudden and surprise victory from that
viscious and perfectly placed body shot is something like Well Castillo
is a shot fighter. Gee maybe Hatton's power, nonstop punching
and excellent boxing tactics had something to do with Castillo's
loss. Also Castillo fought bravely and was coming on a bit before
Hatton literally knocked the wind out of him. Both fighters deserved
more respect and his ring interview with Ricky was pathetic.
Hatton did well not to clock this idiot as he disparaged both fighter's
terrific efforts that night. No-one would get up from that liver shot.It looked much harder than the one Hopkins stopped Oscar with. Castillo
tried his best but Ricky was just the better man that night. Anyway,
even if our efforts get Max Kellerman fired from his gig we shouldn't
be too sad. Max can always get a job as a squeegee kid wiping
car windows. Afterall he already has that drugged-out, coked-up
look squeegee kids are so famous for. Then again there's always
barber college. That way he could finally give himself a decent haircut.
