Kellerman.........

[robpalmer135]

needs the sack. what a twat.

[scurlaruntings]

He's a FACKING idiot. Me and my mate were thinking WTF! get a fucking grip man! As soon as he couldnt get his way on the mike or control what was going on he's shouting for Jim. Stupid pussy.

[Beeston Brawler]

I was embarrassed for him.

He refused to let Mayweather even try to answer any questions before firing back with like a dozen more - then calling Mosley over before bringing Pacquiao into the equation :nut

Surely he realised that he would have been pumped up - he has been punching someone in the face for the past hour!

Jim.... erm.... Jim.....

Mosley shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near Floyd until the interview had been concluded - he was just asking for trouble.

[robpalmer135]

the guy just had no control. he would ask a question and then keep the microphone near to his face so floys couldnt speak.

[Leather_Face]

He had no control and looked like a terrified child in there, it could and should have been a fantastic opportunity to build up a potentially fantastic fight but he shit himself. What i enjoyed the most was Bernard Hopkins who kept on whispering things in his ear, i wonder who he was saying?

[scurlaruntings]

Shane didnt do anything wrong. Floyd called Shane over and they spoke. The problem was the rest of the Golden Boy entourage like Hopkins opening his big mouth and Floyds entourage and then it started to get messy because everyone was talking over Kellermen and like a bitch he got pissed because Floyd took the mike and stole his limelight. He's a big bitch. HBO should sack him. Iv never liked him as a colour commentator.

[China_hand_Joe]

Kellerman was entertaining.

I don't care how inept the interview was, none of the fights being discussed are appealing.

[brown bomber]

Anyone got a link to his shit intervieW?

[Beeston Brawler]

I was a bit harsh on Mosley.... he didn't do much wrong at all.

Kellerman seriously lacks the authority to make the guy speak to him..... and doesn't ask proper questions - it just seemed like he saw a chance to have a little swipe and thought he was clever by dissing Marquez.

[GABBY]

lol , "you do to much talkin am gonna do the talkin "


Kellerman is such a D***

[Mazallan]

Mayweather was funny giving Kellerman the old stfu.

Shame HHH did not jump in and start pedigreeing folk when the heated exchange started.

[hitman_hatton1]

thought kellerman was asking the right sorta questions.

then he bitched out when he couldn't control it. :patsch

mayweather-mosley has to happen after that. :yep

[Darni187]

I fought Floyd might slap him, at least let him answer the questions Kellerman, Clearly HBO wanted to upset Floyd, Hopkins was also trying to hype things up.

[gallardo]

I wish Hopkins had kept his fcuking mouth shut.

I thought Mayweather and Mosely were actually being OK with each other until Bernard and the entourage turned up.

It was Kellerman who got Floyd pissed by constantly taking the microphone away from him.

The nob should get the sack. Really pisses me off.

I want to see Mayweather Vs. Mosely as opposed to Mayweather Pac.

[hitman_hatton1]

I fought Floyd might slap him, at least let him answer the questions Kellerman, Clearly HBO wanted to upset Floyd, Hopkins was also trying to hype things up.

i didn't notice hopkins chipping in the first time i saw it. :yep

those 2 could tag up and floyd would still win. :hi:

[dan-b]

It was the most entertaining part of the night, Floyd was on the verge of tears.

[Mazallan]

It was the only time in the night that Floyd looked troubled.

[brown bomber]

Here ya go Jeffro:

sGU-uSsS_r8Cheers mate,..... Kellerman was a tit there. Mosley and Mayweather .... the respect doesn't seem mutual- Mosley had the body language of someone who meant business.

[KERRZO]

Yeh Mayweather v Mosley will be a better fight. Kellerman, will someone please put this guy out of his misery. He is awful!!!

[hitman_hatton1]

mosley bitched out once before though.

so he hasn't got a leg to stand on in terms of floyd avoiding him.

floyd called him out and mosley made excuses saying he weren't ready. :patsch

[lucatoni08]

He asked some good questions but then fucked up by not letting anyone else talk, especially when Floyd took the mic he should of just let him talk.....

[dan-b]

Cheers mate,..... Kellerman was a tit there. Mosley and Mayweather .... the respect doesn't seem mutual- Mosley had the body language of someone who meant business.

Yeah, Floyd didn't seem too keen to repeat some of the shite he'd said to Brian Kenny to Shane's face did he?

[Darni187]

Floyd got setup hard :D

This was all planed by HBO, they let Sugar Shane and Hopkins into the ring so they could stage this.

[dan-b]

mosley bitched out once before though.

so he hasn't got a leg to stand on in terms of floyd avoiding him.

He wasn't accusing Floyd of avoiding him, he was simply calling him out. Which is what Floyd expects his opponents to do.

[brown bomber]

Yeah, Floyd didn't seem too keen to repeat some of the shite he'd said to Brian Kenny to Shane's face did he?i'd say that Mayweather looked very, very uncomfortable there and Mosley looked pissed. As pissed as I think i've ever seen him. That was a really strange few seconds. There must be some behind the scenes stuff. Mosley figures to give him a very good fight.... Stuey mentioned it this morning having thought about it I quite like the prospect of that fight.

[gallardo]

Aaaaaaaaah Kellerman. What a tool.

Bunce was ahead the curve way back in February this year: :good

Floyd was upset by it and with all the shit Floyd's said about Mosley I don't blame him for being pissed off. It's a good fight and I hope it's made next. I already get the impression Arum is going to be a problem for making Pac v Mayweather, so that can be stuck on the back burner for now.

[Beeston Brawler]

I don't think Floyd is scared of Mosley by any stretch.... but I see him edging toward a Pacquiao fight - for several reasons.

The money is likely to be better, and probably an easier fight for him.

Both them fighters a have great hand speed and power, but Mosley would be the bigger guy for a change and may even pack a bit more power than Floyd, this fight needs to happen.

Both fighters also have great left hooks .

[robpalmer135]

i put mayweather vs mosley/pacquiao/cotto all on a par in terms of how much i want to see them.

Cotto puts mayweather in with a guy thats a big live welterweight but i dont think he offered anything Mayweather hasnt seen before. Its the easiest fight for Mayweather he would win by UD.

Pacquiao brings the relentless speed that could trouble Mayweather, but he gets hit far to easially and Mayweather could get a stoppage after a few hairy moments.

Mosley brings the speed and skill which Mayweather has not faced before. It will be tough for the first 6 rounds but Mayweather will take over as the end of the fight comes.

[PrideOfWales]

I long for the days of Pudwill, Mcintyre and Ashira...

[Beeston Brawler]

I think Floyd would stop Cotto.

[Losfer_Words]

He's a FACKING idiot. Me and my mate were thinking WTF! get a fucking grip man! As soon as he couldnt get his way on the mike or control what was going on he's shouting for Jim. Stupid pussy.

:roflMe and my mate had a good laugh over it as well! It was the tone of his voice as well- just like a spoiled child taking their ball back home which meant no-one else could play:lol:.

As annoying as he is, I can tolerate him much more than any of the jokers at Sky.

[doug.ie]

i was fuming..he ruined that interview...he should never be let into a ring after a fight ever again..

[PrideOfWales]

All Kellerman had to do was to dangle the mic from a distance and let Mosley, the Mayweathers and Hopkins go at it for a while. That shit would do more for future HBO ratings than any length of Kellerman's long winded questions.

[TFFP]

Give over.

I hate Kellerman the obnoxious twat as much as the next guy but Floyd was being an idiot and avoiding all the questions, more concerned with giving 'shout outs'.

[scurlaruntings]

Then HHH could have "Pedigree'ed" Kellerman's face into the floor and boxing would be on the front page for the next 2 years!!!!

[SouthpawSlayer]

it was hopkins that instigated that mess between the two camps but damn that was good viewing, imagine a punch up between flyd sr, roger floyd and bhop and sugar shane

as for kellerman he is such a pussy

[kerrminator]

Kellerman is an absolute idiot. I felt sorry for Floyd coz he just put on one of the finest masterclass performances likely to be seen in the ring for many a year yet still wasnt given a chance to even answer his questions.

Be rest assured that once Floyd beats Mosley people will be quick to criticise it due to Shanes age. He could fight and beat them all and people will find fault imo

[dan-b]

Give over.

I agree. He even called Floyd on the fact he assumes every question is a veiled slight.

[kerrminator]

I agree. He even called Floyd on the fact he assumes every question is a veiled slight.


I reckon it was a bit of a criticising interview coz Max was suggesting the weight was a controversy but it was a welterweight fight and Floyd was 1lb under the limit. Floyd wanted to answer the questions too but Max kept pulling the mic away:?

I hope Cotto ignores the silly demands too and comes in at 147 then leathers Pac and gives him his extra money per lb over.

[robpalmer135]

I agree. He even called Floyd on the fact he assumes every question is a veiled slight.

Because they were, everyhing had a but.

Hopkins totally started all the trouble. Mosley and Floyd were talking fine and the hopkins opend his mouth. He was whispering in Kellermans ear ask him about mosley

Depends if you believe the PR spin. The fact you said you hoped Pac gets leathered makes you sound like a bit of a disgruntled Floyd fan. I personally think Pac will KO Cotto in 6.

It was a mismatch of a fight and the cloak and daggers routine over the weight needed addressing. Floyd was too busy giving his boring shout outs until, thankfully, Shane and B-Hop caused something interesting to happen.

[ShaneTheSherrif]

I think Hopkins was the main troublemaker but Kellerman spoiled a great bit of TV. It was clear Mayweather felt uncomfortable when Mosley challenged him and that would be a far more exciting fight than Pacquiao.

[TFFP]

It really wouldn't. Shane is too easily hit, hes basically a gunslinger. Standing there in the pocket with Mayweather is never going to work, Mayweather would block all his punches and return the favour in kind. It has Floyd UD12 written all over it and I don't think theres anything Mosley could do about it.

Pacquiao still has the best chance as long as he shows he can take a solid punch against Cotto. If he can't he'll likely lose anyway.

[kerrminator]

Nothing to do with being a Floyd fan, im just fed up with the whole Cotto weight limit issues. Anyone who knows Cotto knows he really struggles with weight draining issues and team Pac know that full well. If Pac wins the victory will be hollow as he required Cotto to be drained beforehand.

What about the fact Mosley almost matches Floyd when it comes to speed and is definitely more powerful? Floyd backed off at the merest hint of a punch from JMM last night so I don't see how he will stand in the pocket with Shane.

Cotto weighed in at 146 for his last fight.

[TFFP]

He hardly backed off IMO. Moving out of the way of a punch is preferable to blocking it...you want a fighter to do that. Apart from that most of the time Mayweather was the boss as you'd expect in the circumstances.

Mosley is not even close to matching him for hand and certainly footspeed based on last night and power doesn't concern me. You have to actually land and Pacquiao has the best chance of doing that.

[kerrminator]

Cotto weighed in at 146 for his last fight.
He also looked slightly gaunt at the weigh in(something I hadnt seen since his days at 140)

That extra lb will be tougher to remove than some people think. Cotto is being ordered to put his title on the line but isnt allowed to fight withing the ww limit :?

A lot of people say its only 2 lbs what does it matter, but if its so insignificant then why are team pac demanding it? They too know full well Cotto is a different fighter when he is drained :(

[dan-b]

There's still a chance Pac would be too small against Mayweather and could be knocked cold with one clean right hand. At least we know that won't happen with Mosley.

[robpalmer135]

yeh its piss easy for guys like us to remove 2-3lbs as were not 5% body fat like cotto and mayweather.

They're making that demand because they know how much Cotto will weigh come fight night. Someone made a good suggestion which was to have the fight at 147 but demand a same day weigh in.

[dan-b]

No boxer has 5% body fat, but I take your point.

[TFFP]

There's still a chance Pac would be too small against Mayweather and could be knocked cold with one clean right hand. At least we know that won't happen with Mosley.
That's why I say 'if he takes some punches from Cotto'. I don't think Mayweather is a noticeably harder puncher than Cotto, far from it.

That being the case, and Pacquiao then has a serviceable welterweight chin (and wins) he'll be a very live threat.

[scurlaruntings]

No boxer has 5% body fat, but I take your point.Negative. Theres a few that do. Most notably lower weight fighters. It really depends on your build though and metabolism and effectiveness at the weight.

[robpalmer135]

Negative. Theres a few that do. Most notably lower weight fighters. It really depends on your build though and metabolism and effectiveness at the weight.

Look at Mayweather. no way the guy is more than 6% body fat.

remember when Khan cliamed he was 2% or something crazy like that. Haye says he was around 8% for enzo

[D Coldwell]

No boxer has 5% body fat, but I take your point.

A fair few boxer's have 5% body fat.

remember when Khan cliamed he was 2% or something crazy like that. Haye says he was around 8% for enzoKhan is a tool. He just talks before his brain engages. Haye was more than likely around 8%. He was very tight at 200lbs even though he was well under the limit but would have had to dry out sufficiently to get that low. Floyd also would be around 6-9% judging by how he looked as he has gained at least 7-8lbs in lean muscle mass. He looked VERY good physically.

[brown bomber]

[Dan684]

There's nobody out there for me who beats Mayweather at the moment :good

Paul Williams could beat him but I think if you made it at Light/Middle Floyd would win. Middleweight is a bit too much for Mayweather however if he took it and was beaten nobody could really hold a loss against him

Cotto - Has no chance whatsoever in beating Floyd so thats gettting put to bed now !

Mosely - Is a great boxer but isn't nearly as skillfull and after such a lay-off AGAIN he'd struggle like hell. We saw the way he was against Mayorga with a bit of a lay off, Floyd would serioulsy punish him if he was to come into the fight like that. Yes he looked good against Margarito however Cotto completely outboxed Margarito for 7/8 rounds and if he had a tune up that leaves it until summer next year ?? Mosely to be too old and Pacquaio wouldn't be contracted into a fight around that time so he makes more financial sense

Pacquiao - Is a superb little boxer. but come on, he is wide open for Floyd to counter. Mayweather would knock Pacquiao within 9. This is no slight on Manny either, just his attacking, come forward style would play DIRECTLY into Floyds hands !

Margarito - Outboxed completely by someone who would be able to hold his come forward style for the whole 12 !

At light middle there's only Paul Williams but I see him as better at Middle ??

[TFFP]

Paul Williams would be a threat at any weight. It's not every day you see a guy 6ft odd southpaw with arms like Mr Tickle. That would be one of the few occasions where you could truely say Mayweather hasn't seen anything like it. Plus Williams is a guy that will just throw punches no matter what, even if he gets countered he punches through it and outworks you.

[Beeston Brawler]

I want to see Williams vs Pavlik....

[Dan684]

TFFP - I understand fully what your saying however I still think he'd be beaten by Floyd. If he was allowed to come in at Middle then his punches may have too much for him but come on, could you see Floyd ever allowing himself to concede so much weight ??? I couldn't. He wouldn't spar DeGale so I can't see him wanting to do it for real with someone 20x better than DeGale :lol:

[kerrminator]

They're making that demand because they know how much Cotto will weigh come fight night. Someone made a good suggestion which was to have the fight at 147 but demand a same day weigh in.


I dont see why they dont just stick to the rules that are already in place and have been for years. If Pac cannot make the weight then he shouldnt be fighting there and surely he cant complain about fightnight weights coz that has always been Pacs advantage ofer 95% of his opponents.

I just searched high and low to find a pic of Cotto I once seen while he was training for Malignaggi where he looked very very ill and gaunt and his weight then was not too far from the weight Pac is demanding.

[jonnytightlips]

Kellerman and the Golden Boy gang fucked all that shit up. They wouldnt let floyd answer a fuckin question and when Floyd wanted to talk they cut him off. Cunts.

[Pug1list]

I don't recall seeing many boxers with striated muscle, so i must protest that many boxers have 5% bodyfat, more in the range of a competing bodybuilder.

[TFFP]

Huh? He fought Malignaggi at 140lbs and chose to weigh in 1lb and 3/4 under the limit.

You are making a huge deal out of 2lbs yet the 5lbs from 145lbs where this fight is set down to 140lbs is 'not too far away'.

At least be consistent.

At the end of the day Pacquiao is a little dude, look at the press pictures for this fight and it is noticeable Cotto is way bigger all over, a much thicker man. Pacquiao hardly has everything in his favour.

FIRE MAX KELLERMAN,

The man is disrespectful, rude, has a limited boxing knowlege and a bad attitude. We spend our hard money on watching HBO's entertainment (sport or otherwise) and should not have our viewing disrupted by a jumped up ivy-league graduate that spoils the experience. Please sign the petition & i shall personaly send this to a senior VP within the organisation to ensure that PPV boxing or hopefully HBO boxing shall never EVER have to endure such a horrid charecter such as Max Kellerman.

Save yorself some money HBO....With enough support we can give the people what they WANT and what they deserve if their paying to watch an HBO broadcast!

[achillesthegreat]

I don't know. Floyd called Mosley over and then when it got heated Max tried to calm them down and I don't blame him because it looked like a ruck could have taken place.

I think Max went Jim cos they told him in his ear piece to go back to Jim to avoid a Golota-Bowe part 2!

I don't think any of us would be too cool in there if we were caught between that many angry fighters and the anger then being directed at us.

[Dan684]

Dont stick up for him Achilles ! He's a clown.

He should have just let Floyd say what he was gonna say. he could have tried NOT to wind Floyd up and let him answer the questions he was asking instead of stealing the microphone back before Floyd got the chance to speak.

the mans a tit !

[TFFP]

He didn't do a lot wrong last night. I don't like the guy but Floyd just plainly refused to answer boxing related questions, instead going off on his own little rant and giving endorsements. We the fans and the viewers at home want to hear about the fight, not hear another commercial.

[dellfmsa]

Kellerman and the Golden Boy gang fucked all that shit up. They wouldnt let floyd answer a fuckin question and when Floyd wanted to talk they cut him off. Cunts.
[Only registered and activated users can see links]

[Dan684]

Yeah the endorsments thing was pretty poor however he wasn't really beinbg given time to give a full answer to anything. We all know that Floyd likes to give credit to God, his family, his sponsors etc etc after a fight. Why not let him get that out of the way then ask him the proper questions. Floyd hadn't even finished that before Kellerman was asking him about Mosely. Before he could answer that properley Mosely was in the ring. before we could get a proper conversation out of them two, Hopkins started giving it the big one. Before we could hear the end of that one he was asking about Pacquiao.

then when Floyd correctly told him he talks too much and he was gonna do some talking (which is the whole point of interviewing him post fight) he bitched out and started calling "Jim ?" "Jim ?"

[TFFP]

I'm not saying he was a saint, he could have handled the situation better. It's where his arrogant pompous attitude gets the better of him.

However, I was more annoyed with Floyd to begin with because I wanted to hear his take on the fight and he kept feeding us bullshit.

[Dan684]

Yeah I know. Something he does all the time though. I think if Kellerman handled it better we;d have definately gotten the viewpoint from him

[threethirteen]

It really wouldn't. Shane is too easily hit, hes basically a gunslinger. Standing there in the pocket with Mayweather is never going to work, Mayweather would block all his punches and return the favour in kind. It has Floyd UD12 written all over it and I don't think theres anything Mosley could do about it.

Pacquiao still has the best chance as long as he shows he can take a solid punch against Cotto. If he can't he'll likely lose anyway.

Marquez was able, with his shorter reach, slower hands and shorter stature, to land a couple of right hands. If Marquez can have any success against Floyd, then Shane definitely can. He doesn't gas like Oscar, he can mix it up and, most importantly, he can throw hard, fast combos to take the steam out of Floyd.

There's a reason Floyd looked like he was bricking himself.

Yeah, a 'couple' of right hands. Literally a couple. And Marquez is one of the most accurate and precise guys out there and he tried everything. Sit there long enough and you are bound to catch a fish...

He can mix it up but Mayweather will just counter the ass off him and that would be the story of the fight. Mosley just doesn't have the movement to upset Mayweather. He's basically stand and deliver at this point, not to mention the fact he can't seem to string consistent performance together.

Floyd wasn't answering a goddamn thing. he ummed and ahhed, tried to talk about his sponsors and his seven figure sponsorship deal, then said he didn't want to talk about money or the weigh-in because that was the past. What exactly was the fight, Floyd: in the future?

And, because everybody is yipping on about this, the producers told Kellerman to go back to Lampley. They were worried after the Malignaggi interview about more swearing and more ranting.

On top of that, Floyd showed his usual lack of class: if he just answered straight rather than talking ENDLESSLY about nothing, it wouldn't have gotten out of hand.

[Dan684]

TFFP like i've sadi somewhere earlier

Look at Mosely recently.

Looked superb against Collazo.

TAKES 9 MONTHS OFF

Looks poor against Cotto

TAKES 10 MONTHS OFF

Looks poor against Mayorga

TAKES 4 MONTHS OFF

Looks superb against Margarito.

its been 8 months since that fight. If he fights Floyd next it wont be till early next year which will be around a 1year layoff. He wont get a tune up coz by that time Floyd could have picked Manny. Mosely needs to stay active at this stage in his career. Floyd would pick him apart in my opinion. I fully agree :good

What I'm saying is that Marquez, with low output and zero advantage in speed or reach, could find the target. it wasn't law of averages, it was good timing. Mosley's very accurate and, bar the Mayorga fight, had given a decent run till that point (four fights or so) - the Cotto loss was incredibly close.

You've basically disregarded Mosley as if Mayweather is unbeatable. he doesn't like combo punchers with a fast jab - what's Mosley again? Add to that the fact he can crack and is an established body puncher - Floyd wants no part of him and never did.

[Dan684]

ThreeThirteen - So you know that they told him to go back to Lampley do you ???? If so then fair enough you are in the know. But to me when he said "Jim" it was more of a request rather than it'd been ordered to him !

Well, I'm not in the know - but it's not something he'd have decided on his own. The producer tells him when to cut an interview short, same as they clearly told him to clarify his position to camera right after he came out of the ring.

[Dan684]

He looked worried as fuck. Its my opinion that he chose to do that purely on his own merit. he said it twice to which says to me it was a request. If he'd have been told to do it they would have picked up on it the first time and wouldn't have had to repeat it

He was still speaking to Floyd after it - he didn't look too bothered by it. he certainly wasn't so intimidated to say "Shane - not now" like he was trying to cop a feel or something. I'll be honest, it was more entertaining than the 40 odd minutes that preceded it. It was a dreadful fight.

Thank god the Katsidis fight and the Cruz fight were entertaining, otherwise the whole evening would have been a waste. I also enjoyed the John fight, but the constant holding started to get on my nerves.

[Dan684]

To agree with you there. Floyd looked superb however I was still pretty dissapointed he didn't go for the finish. I think if the weight hadn't have been such an issue he'd have finished it. I think he wanted people to talk about his superior skills rather than the fact he was far too big for him, which would have been inevitable if he'd have blew him out !

[TFFP]

What I'm saying is that Marquez, with low output and zero advantage in speed or reach, could find the target. it wasn't law of averages, it was good timing. Mosley's very accurate and, bar the Mayorga fight, had given a decent run till that point (four fights or so) - the Cotto loss was incredibly close.

You've basically disregarded Mosley as if Mayweather is unbeatable. he doesn't like combo punchers with a fast jab - what's Mosley again? Add to that the fact he can crack and is an established body puncher - Floyd wants no part of him and never did.
No, not as if Mayweather is unbeatable. I just think Mosley of all people has very little chance.

As for the Cotto fight, it was indeed very close (I had it 7-5 Cotto), and it can not be ignored that Cotto continued his shift towards outboxing and counterpunching against Mosley, which worked very well. If Cotto's jab and counterpunching worked he's got a hell of a job beating Mayweather which the extra speed, accuracy, and comfort in that style.

[achillesthegreat]

Dont stick up for him Achilles ! He's a clown.

He should have just let Floyd say what he was gonna say. he could have tried NOT to wind Floyd up and let him answer the questions he was asking instead of stealing the microphone back before Floyd got the chance to speak.

the mans a tit !

I don't like him, Im' just talking about the situation. I really don't think it is his fault.

He only said Pacquiao to try and get his attention.

[Dan684]

I know but he just does it a lot. I think it was set up to get Mosley in there from the off to be fair. Floyd was set up a little there to be put on the spot. Bit shady taking his glory away from him there. No doubt another 'Golden Boy' ploy to try and get one of the big partners into a fight :lol:

[kerrminator]

Huh? He fought Malignaggi at 140lbs and chose to weigh in 1lb and 3/4 under the limit.

You are making a huge deal out of 2lbs yet the 5lbs from 145lbs where this fight is set down to 140lbs is 'not too far away'.

At least be consistent.

At the end of the day Pacquiao is a little dude, look at the press pictures for this fight and it is noticeable Cotto is way bigger all over, a much thicker man. Pacquiao hardly has everything in his favour.

This was while training for the Malignaggi fight, not the weigh in (as I said) and he had not got down to the 140 limit yet but was already looking very ill.

If the 2lbs is so insignificant then why is it being demanded.......I think we all know that one and I refuse to give Pac credit if he beats a drained Cotto. If Cotto is not drained then it will be an easy nights work imo.

Yeah. First question should have been about Pac fight but Mosley was standing there and was obviously going to get in on it.

:lol:

Great.

So basically, if Cotto wins you expected it. If Pacquiao wins Cotto is drained and gets no credit.

Come on man, that is weak.

no, If Cotto looks drained, its really easy to tell the difference between a drained fighter and a beaten fighter. We will already know at the weigh in.

Cotto suffererd greatly at 140 then when he moved to 147 he looked great so somewhere inbetween is the turning point where he becomes a weaker fighter and team Pacquaio are counting on that being at 145lbs.

This is why this catchweight stuff is so questionable. Pac has plenty of good fighters his own size he could face yet he'd rather fight bigger guys but limit their abilities as he does it. Its not rocket science mate.

Cotto always looks shitty on the scales as far as I can see. Always look pale and dry, even at welterweight he's not looked all that healthy.

Pacquiao is a little guy, and he's fighting a big guy. He's just trying to make the paying field a little more level, even though I'd prefer if it was just at 147, its really not as bad as people make out.

Y'know the other side of the coin is that if Cotto is sensible and trained from a long way out to shift this mass, he'll make the weight quite well, rehydrate, and be super strong. If he does this sensibly he'll be way bigger than Pacquiao on fight night and not at all hindered. That is just as likely as people fearing the worst case scenario, fact is..we don't know.

I fear people are just going to look at it like this...

Cotto wins = Not Drained
Pacquiao wins = Cotto Drained :-(

[threethirteen]

Cotto wins = Pac was too small. This really is a no-win for both fighters.

Cotto has been sensible starting light training to increase his metabolism. He's not cutting weight, he's burning fat. I think he'll be bang on and looking as good as the first five rounds against Margarito.

[Primadonna Kool]

What are people moaning for..

That was the best part of he night...!

[El Cepillo]

The guy is inept. Isn't he the one who said Katsidis-Casamayor shouldn't have been stopped when it was? :patsch

[kerrminator]

If Cotto staggers all over the place with punches that are not particularly hard then we know he is drained. Cotto on the scales at 147 looked a billion times healthier than at 140. He took some big shots from Judah (the hardest shots he has ever taken imo) and looked fine yet when he was drained chop chop had him staggering all over the place with a shot that was nowhere near as hard as the one from judah. I would go as far to say Cotto is the worst fighter affected by weight issues I have seen. I reckon Pac is an elite fighter but not the best. Too many of Pacs opponents since the first MAB win were not coming off wins (nearly 50% of them if memory serves)

On nother note, I reckon if Mosely was in there last night against JMM it would have been a much closer fight. Only Floyd is good enough to beat opponents so clearly imo.

[kerrminator]

What are people moaning for..

To be honest I loved the fight. It was always going to be one for the purist and not be everyones cup of tea. I said a while back that it might not be a classic but it will be like watching a game of chess with two grand masters.

I loved it and was in awe of PBF's talent(again) and I reckon we should enjoy it while we have it coz boxing will miss Floyd when he's gone.

[MIK1000]

he should stick to the rap game

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

[dan-b]

I dont see why they dont just stick to the rules that are already in place and have been for years. If Pac cannot make the weight then he shouldnt be fighting there and surely he cant complain about fightnight weights coz that has always been Pacs advantage ofer 95% of his opponents.

I just searched high and low to find a pic of Cotto I once seen while he was training for Malignaggi where he looked very very ill and gaunt and his weight then was not too far from the weight Pac is demanding.

What rules are they breaking, mate?

I appreciate it man, but Floyd Mayweather against smaller/slower fighters can get away with fighting like that. I will say it again, Floyd Mayweather is technically flawed, when he starts his attacks..if he misses the first punch...he will go into his defensive shell.

If he lands the first punch, he will follow up with a 1 - 2.

Now that kind of boxing style would not stop Shane Mosley, Shane Mosley is a fighter who is commited to his attacks...if he starts an attack..even if he misses the first punch..he is coming back with something esle. Floyd Mayweather fights like a amateur, it's like a voilent game of tick. There is nothing wrong in that, but on his showing last night..them pot shot's...WOULD DO FUCK ALL TO SHANE MOSLEY.

THEY WOULD HAVE NO AFFECT AND DO FUCK ALL.

He will continue to fight like this until, fighters with speed and agression..can force him out of this style. Every fighter he faces with decent speed and agression has done this......

Ricky Hatton did it....

And so would Shane Mosley..

But Shane Mosley hits harder than Hatton/Judah, has better punch resistance..

And is a better fighter..

I was not at all impressed with last nights peformance...

Nope..

[Bunce]

My rant now seems tame!


Adios.

[kerrminator]

What rules are they breaking, mate?

I mean the rules of making weight for each respective division. Welterweight is anything up to 147lbs yet the rules are being changed for the Pac Cotto fight and the 'welterweight' title is on the line therefore 147lbs should be the maximum weight.

[dan-b]

The welterweight title isn't on the line, a minor alphabet strap is though. How much credence do you pay that? Catchweights are not unprecedented in the sport, you're acting as if Cotto is being forced into this fight. Cotto will be getting a career high payday plus the opportunity to get his career back on track. Pac is "the man" right now, he's in a position to make certain demands. No one has to agree to them though.

[Dan684]

Dan-B whilst I agree with you. The agreement WAS made that no title would be on the line. Pac and his team then threatened to pull out if they wouldn't put the title up. Shit move but you do what you do. The real ones at fault in this matter are the WBO. They are sanctioning one of their title fights being made at a different limit to the ones set out in their very onw sanctioning rules.

Pac shouldn't have thought he could get away with it.
Cotto if not happy shouldn't fight

But the WBO are the biggest joke (no suprise) in the matter by changing the weight limits for their title fights

Lot's of "title" fights have happened at catchweights. As much as I'd like to get stuck into the WBO here, they're not breaking any rules. They're ranking of Pac as number one at 147 was pretty ridiculous though.

[kerrminator]

Well I was under the impression Cotto was being made to put his belt on the line. My bad.

Still think Cotto is playing a very dangerous game with regards to his weight as we have all seen how bad he is when drained. The difference is like night and day.

[macho_grande]

HBO must be a little pissed at Kellermen when they look back at it...

As far as promotion goes, they could have built the whole fight around that interview if Kellermen hadnt been such a pussy..

[slip&counter]

that whole Shane incident was Tarver in Roy's press conference. Hagler calling out Ray after his fight (list goes on) that's how you hype a fight. Max is too raw/stupid for this a good reporter embrace's that moment not runs from it.

[Contendo]

When PBF eye-balled him and he then called for Jim, I thought he was going to burst into tears like a kid!!!

[slip&counter]

Kellerman use to be Floyd's lawyer on FNF's lol but Floyd hurt is feelings and he bitched up! To his credit though he's not a real journalist. He's a fan who begged ESPN to do a boxing show and he never looked back so props to his career path but he still froze. He didn't deliver the most important question. I remember Hector Camacho going off on one and they let him because he was helping the network sell a fight.

[BIG WORM]

HBO should sack him, hes a waste!!

[Healy]

Khan is a tool. He just talks before his brain engages.
:rofl

[Dunky McCafferty]

Kellerman, he had the chance for an ATG interview, all the ingredients were there. He acted like a big Diva though, & thought he was more important than the p4p no1. A sackable offence IMO, as his ego robbed us the fans of a memorable face-off between Mayweather & the jealous Golden boyers.

As for Mosley, I seen JT say that his body language was all business, I wouldnt be as kind as that, I thought Mosley acted like a bit of a prick to be honest, trying to steal Floyds thunder.
I used to like Mosley, but he was an arrogant ass when he beat Mayorga, & now hes storming in & ruining Mayweathers moment.

I cant wait to see Mayweather punish him now. Be careful what you wish for sugar!

[cubex]

People exagerate.

Kellerman ain't no Merchant but he didn't screw up like people make it sound.

[Dunky McCafferty]

Kellerman ain't no Merchant but he didn't screw up like people make it sound.

So you didnt want to hear Money Mayweathers verbal to & fro with Goldenboys goons & their last throw of the dice, mouthy Mosley?

Cos thats what Kellerman did. He fucked it all up cos he wanted to be the star of the show. Now I love myself, but by goodness, if I was standing between Mayweather & Mosley, I would have known my place & let them go to town with my mic.
Cos at the end of the day, I know no matter how opinionated I am, its the fighters people want to hear the most. Not me.

& thats where Max failed. Its a sackable offence IMO to try & overshadow the fighters. Kellerman acted like a Diva "Its my mic!!!" fuck off Kellerman. I used to respect you until you respected yourself more than the p4p no1 on the PLANET.
He has to go.

[dan-b]

Dunky, how did you feel about all the stuff Mayweather had said about Mosley in that Brian Kenny interview? Also, doesn't Mayweather always whinge that the likes of Cotto and Pac don't call him out directly? I don't see why anyone would have a problem with what Shane did unless they're not interested in seeing that fight.

Anyone thinking this will hold up a May v Pac fight needs to think again. There's an even bigger, more arrogant man who will get in the way of that fight and his name aint Shane Mosley.

[TFFP]

Fucking hell you are up early !

My day off.

[slip&counter]

We really need to get boxing back on terestrial TV, other sports can afford to be off regular television because they have central authorities promoting it, selling it, lobbying for it etc, but boxing can't afford to go away from the masses otherwise the fanbase stagnates, I've seen people who would've been boxing fans long ago but because it wasn't available they've missed out on fighters careers. can you imagine if mayweather vs Marquez was on primetime on ABC? They wouldn't have problems getting sponsors or attention for their next fight, that's for sure.

btw no one goes off the radar after they retire quicker then fighters, emphasizes the point.

I could not believe it

It was tv gold, mayweather and mosely facing off badmouthing eachother abotu a potential fight

we could see their lips moving and their facial expressions changing

what could we hear?

Fuck all.

Some fucking twat pulling the microphone away from one of the most talked about boxing incidents of the year...so he could hold it by his non moving stupid smug mouth and say nothing

absolutely pathetic

[icemax]

Ring interviews are pretty shit ...let the fighter chill out a bit and interview him in his dressing room. BTW, Kellerman is a cunt :deal

[Losfer_Words]

Wow, 9 pages:shock:. Kellerman is a bit of a tit but I think some of the hate for the post-fight interview is a bit OTT. If you watch it back you'll realise it was all fine until B-Hop starting pushing and shouting. Kellerman was just trying to calm things down, IMO. The call for 'JIM' to save him was funny as hell, though:rofl. I enjoy watching the guy as he's hilarious- leave him be.

It was all fine, there was a bit of pushing and shouting...great, lets fucking hear it ffs

You like him and find him hilarious, great, I dont...but thats not the point anyway

if he just wants to talk then let him talk....dont let him do it in post match interviews particularly when 2 of the big names are there face to face

however its about the boxers, not him, and he just took the mic away from something everybody wants to hear, terrible terrible reporting.

Granted, he did. That said, you never know if the producers were in his ear telling him to go back to ringside for fear of getting another Malignaggi moment. The interview went south after B-Hop's antics, not Kellerman's, IMHO. Like I said, it was funny viewing but I accept that I am in a minority. The whimper for Jim was great TV, though- you can't argue with that:lol:.

[achillesthegreat]

One thing is for sure, Kellerman isn't, wasn't and never will be a Merchant. Bring the oldie back I say.

[DDA365]

Merchants problem was that he was so slow asking questions, a blokes just been in 12 hard rounds getting punched int he head and has to deal with

'errr....soo....you....had to .....deal....with his spee....'

etc.

they need somebody who lets the boxers talk

[bored]

I wanted to hear what Mayweather had to say. Kellerman didn't allow this because of his ego.

Fuck him. It's a shame he wasn't interviewing Tyson, he wouldn't have taken that shit.

[ishy]

Anyone have a link to the post fight interview? The one posted earlier has been removed and the version of the fight I downloaded didn't have the interview, only the fight itself.

Offcourse I wanted it and I loved every bit of that verbal altercation so to speak but think it on the other side of the fence....Kellerman's job is not to let fighters start fighting in the ring after a fight just ended.Did you see the look on Mosley's face?He clearly was there for trouble.Floyd is always happy to oblige.They weren't farr off from throwing punches.
Obviously Kellerman ain't gonna let'em do that.

[Mr Blair]

Here's what I've just read on the HBO bio site...

MAX KELLERMAN
updated March 09, 2009
Max Kellerman is one of the most respected analysts in the sport of boxing. His gift for ringside commentary and ability to frame the historical significance of a fight landed him at HBO in 2005. In April of 2006, he was named as the boxing commentator for HBO BOXING AFTER DARK series. In June of 2007, Kellerman joined the World Championship Boxing broadcast team, calling fights with Jim Lampley and Emanuel Steward. In addition to his HBO duties, Kellerman, 34, also hosts an ESPN radio show in New York.


Pissing myself laughing.

[Bonavena25]

Kellerman gets a rough ride.
