I don't think their bias on the scoring was overly ridiculous, but I was kind of disappointed by the way they backtracked on their opinions of the earlier fights and acted as if Pacquiao getting the decision was fine and business as usual, and justifying it every which way, instead of pointing out the moments Marquez was dominant. The whole broadcast was pretty weird. First, in one of Marquez's clear rounds, they show highlights of Pacquiao landing his only decent pair of punches in the whole round, and no replay for Marquez. Then, for no reason at all, they replay a much earlier clip of Pacquiao landing punches after the 12th round bell sounds before they read the decision and call it "a replay of the action". So arbitrary.
I don't pay any attention to what Kellerman says. He's a clown. He can't do a interview to save his life and always asks inappropriate questions thinking he is really not afraid to put the tough questions to fighters.
Kellerman has always been a joke. So much about HBO boxing is. Boxing would be so much better if Showtime had the budget of HBO.
Larry would have had Pacquiao winning 11-1 because he believes in the same bull**** idea Lederman and the others were spouting that all aggression is equal to effective aggression. Hell he had Pacquiao getting a draw in Morales I.
Max Kellerman is the man. His honesty and understanding of the fight game is far and beyond that of Lampley, Merchant, and the other propaganda facilitators. However, he did "bottle it" in this instance. But I expect him to come forth and admit that Marquez won this fight at some point in the near or distant future.
I don't know if you're being serious but Kellerman is amazing at asking the questions the normal fans would ask after a fight.
Can any of you actually blame Kellerman or anyone else from HBO for being a bit biased at trying to push the notion that Pac didn't "lose" after the fact? They are in the business of trying to make the Floyd-Pac fight happen. Their $$ is directly tied to this fight. It's all about $$. Some of you are idiots.
Never been a fan of his, always felt he did not pay his dues long enough to even get this position on HBO
This isn't entirely true. He was a bit more toned down during the last PAC fight but was making comments all through the fight such as "I wouldn't be suprised if the score cards are a lot closer than you think" and "pacquiao hasn't fought a skilled fighter since he last fought Marquez" watch again.
Kellerman sold his soul a while ago man. Gone forever is the Kellerman who had a somewhat unbiased eye while working for ESPN.
Kellerman has always stated that he thought Marquez won the first two fights... hell he even said that during the broadcast of Marquez v Pac 3.... So you probably should just shut your mouth.
I'll replace Max, and tell the fans how I see it........all we have to do it get rid of that Bug Eye'D psycho :think
