    No I haven't but I'd appreciate a link if you find one. He's a very biased commentator but that's not the only reason I hate him. The sound of his voice & the bugging out eyes are also hard to handle.

    Every commentator has their biases, but Max is a pretty good commentator and knows a ton about the sport. I think that he will get better the longer he is in the game.

    Exactly. Kellerman is - hands down - the WORST boxing commentator I have ever seen in 30 years of following this sport. I cannot BELIEVE that HBO (or ESPN) ever hired this unqualified punk.:fire

    It was OBVIOUS from the very first time he appeared on ESPN in a Black Leather JAcket WITH THE COLLAR UP.... a la Max Fonzarelli:lol: God i wish I had that on VID. When they say a picture is worth 1000 words? That 15 second intro shot was worth about 10 YEARS:rofl :-(

    He was cheesin from EAR to EAR and it was absolutely comical. You were attracted to it, like is this real?:huh :-( :-( Its been all downhill from there. larry merchant gotta love it though, Max sux so bad, he takes the pressure off Larry:hey

    Exactly. Kellerman is a CLOWN, always has been. Why the hell ESPN plucked this bonehead from the obscurity of cable access, I'll never know. They actually replaced QUALIFIED commentators like Al Bernstein with this punk!! :patsch

    Alone among boxing commentators, Kellerman never paid dues as a boxing journalist, or was a cornerman or participant in the sport. Those sorts of things are what give commentators insight, experience and seasoning. Kellerman has NONE of that, and it SHOWS.:yep

    Of course not. Povetkin is white.

    Who cares? Kellerman has no better insight into the sport of boxing than any poster on ESB.
    What makes him an expert other than being a fan like anyone off the street?
    Povetkin by easy TKO

    HBO made a huge mistake hiring Kellerman to do any broadcasts. He
    just hasn't got the right look, temperament or experience to communicate
    the "sweet science" to the fans. The bug-eyed way he stares into the
    camera and his stuccato physical jestures during interviews with boxers
    or general fight commentary is distracting and annoying. He has an
    obvious bias against European fighters and can't predict the outcome
    of any fight. He acts like he has some great historical insight into the
    fight game yet can't successfully predict the outcome of a boxing match
    to save his soul. Max got his job because his daddy is rich and has
    influence. NEPOTISM SUCKS.

    If you could get complete body transplants, Max would at the front of the line.

    Damn.. I was hoping Larry Merchant would be on since he has done most of the B.A.D. shows recently. He would love Povetkin too. I have always hated Kellerman and his hack voice, he's not even good enough to be on ESPN, let alone HBO.

    No, Kellerman's inner blackness will not allow him to be fair to Povetkin.
