HBO Commentary on Saturday night was shcoking!

My favourite quote was Kellerman's "Jones is making Calzaghe look like a shot Felix Trinidad".
Lederman giving the second round to Jones gave me a laugh as well.

 

He all but gave him a blowjob during the fight, then almost cryed afterwords.

 

What was Leaderman's scores for the fight?

 

Kellerman bombed. He is to biased toward his favorite fighters, and that is just plain wrong.

 

I couldn't believed he said that! What an idiot

 

I usually enjoy HBO commentary when Merchant and Lewis are on but Kellerman is absolute rubbish. Steward spends most of his time trying to predict what's gonna happen next, then gloating about it the 2% of the time he is correct.
Lampley, Merchant, and Lewis are definitely not the most astute commentators out there, but they are entertaining, and that is the most important thing, I can assess the fight myself.

 

I read somewhere cant remember where that Merchant gets the bigger fights, expect Merchant to be there for Oscar vs Manny.

 

This was a very big fight,it had a 24/7...Merchant and Kellerman are spliting their fights.Merchant will prolly be at Oscar vs Manny.

 

Bull****.
It was actually Woodhall who was screaming for Joe to cover up and was making faces each time Roy connected, contrary to the HBO crew who after the first few rounds were on Joe's nuts permanently.

At the end Woodhall had the fight much closer than the HBO announcers.

 

I thought that was terrible aswell. I was explaining to my friends who EA was and how he would win but get jobbed and Woodhall had no clue. A former wbc champ with little/no knowladge of the game.
Also about Kellerman mentioning the Eubank knockdown, the saddest thing is that the fight is not hard to find and whatever Kellerman says the average American will believe it, hell they could even use boxrec to get an idea of what actually happend. Maybe if they watched a few of Joe's fights before the lacying they wouldn't make mistakes.

 

117-110
1st - 10-8 for jones(cause of knock down)
2nd - 10-9 for jones(on cleaner and more effective punching)
3-12th 10-9 for calzaghe(yeah... well you would have had to be blind to give them to jones)

 

They could have given Calzaghe more credit.

 

Totally agree! Woodhall was biased towards Calzaghe(obviously) but I do think he`s a pretty good commentator.
As for the main commentator, he was shocking!!!
It sounded like Woodhall was carrying him all through the fight.

 

Kellerman is a tool and a complete turd. He still spoke with anticipation and bated breath well into the 8th round as if RJJ could/would possibly turn this fight around.
He has no chemistry with the other anouncers. Stewert ignores him most of the time, Lennox laughs at him openly and Lampley attempt to carry the fight on despite him...worst of all Kellerman attempt to sound authoritative and end up sounding douchy and arrogant.
