I'm not trying to discredit Hatton. He did what he had to do. However, the pink elephant in the room remains. Castillo's not the same. I want to see Hatton fight Junior Witter but it probably won't happen.
these Kellerman suck threads are becoming too redundant. Let him develop and grow into the position. Atleast he has a passion for the sport.
Larry Merchant could have asked the same question -- and it would have been charming instead of annoying. He would have done so with a fatherly hand on Ricky's shoulder, leaning in, talking slightly softer as if it was an intimate setting instead of a full arena. The confrontational style Kellerman uses and the arrogance he exumes just turns you off to him. He's aloof, smug, way too perky and not a replacement for Merchant. Get me Al Bernstein when Larry decides to call it quits, or Gil Clancy.
You are exactly correct. Steward remarked early in the first round and reiterated through out the fight that Castillo looked shot and looked like an old man. Kellerman never made such a remark until after the fight is over. What a clown. The guy is absolutley a terrible announcer. His so called knowledge is really not much knowledge at all. His voice is terrible and he has NO charisma. Being over opinionated does no make one knowledgeable. Stewart on the other hand was dead on with his observations. And seemed to have little use for Kellerman and his remarks.
kellerman lost all his credibility for me when he was hyping zab as the next big thing, bad mouthing tzyu and picking zab to ass **** tzyu. then zab does the chicken dance kellerman's name is a joke without a punch line for me
great post...... You will never hear kellerman pull a line like "this makes sinderrella look like a sad story" or " this is the primal beauty of boxing". The fact is you need a top notche literary mind to talk about boxing on the professional level. Not some radio motor mouth. Give me al bernstien or larry any day. HBO's all class though, so its not like thay're going to be letting him go anytime soon....just guess we'll have to get used to it.
Actually, you heard a lot of **** about Morales after his last fight with Pac. I mean **** it was almost the same damned scenario as this fight. Morales coming off a terrible looking performance against Raheem, questions about Morales being shot were rampant... then when Manny destroyed him, the question was answered. I guess this next fight will answer the Morales question for good.. and we'll see if JLC ever fights again in a competitive fight on whether he's got anything left as well.
you see that's rubbish.sure hatton balloons up but not to his natural walk around weight.through excess he balloons up to well above that,because he drinks copious amounts of beer and eats enormous amounts of stodgy food.the guys only 5'6" for heavens sake,in my opinion he isn't even a big light welter,any problems with weight loss are of his own making through lifestyle.castillo actually looked the bigger man in there last night and he's guy lets remember who fought as a light welter against corrales because he couldn't make that 135.it could be argued that castillo couldn't beat a guy who had to get down from 190!
