    Stephen A Smith is a black Max Kellerman. He just loves to hear himself talk.

    I dunno, but now that you mentioned it, if HBO On demand has it to view, I'll be watching for him

    If the guy I thought was him is actually Stephen A., he's on the left side of the main camera shot of the broadcast. I thought I saw him in that position when Pavlik was going for the KO.

    El Rey, I'm with you as far as not liking Stephen A. Smith, but he has an audience, and if he's talking positively about boxing, I think that is a good thing.

    I can definitely see your point and I agree. He's one of those guys who pays little attention to the sport and then tries to talk like an expert to people who don't know better. It's definitely a trade off, but at least he's not like those idiots who only talk about boxing when they are calling for the sport to be banned.

    Steven A Smith is the only ESPN regular aside from Kenny(on FNF fights)who keeps Boxing at least alive on ESPN.Boxing gets no love from the #1 Sports channel.

    At least he tries to keep the Sport alive through his own appreciatin of it.When he had his telvised show a while he did some of the best Boxing interviews i have seen.

    Aint **** wrong with Stephen A Smith. He is a pure sports fan. He really loves the sports and the games he talks about. He knows his **** about basketball mainly. But you cant be an expert in all sports. He knows enough about boxing to speak on it. Unlike other assholes on ESB. At least he got an audience and gets all the big stars on his show. You dont get respect like that being a Max Kellerman, who is Don Knotts son.
