Brian Kenny is ditching ESPN (and possibly the sweet science?)

    Never thought I'd ever hear a Jeff Buckley song on a boxing forum.

    This is a huge blow. Ugh, I can't go a full season with that Coach guy or that 40 year old virgin who crosses little old ladies across the street.

    Ugh, and I had that sense that it may have been the last time seeing BK...with that last sign off. But like, Pipe, I just thought he really hated the off season. :rofl

    I don't see ESPN ditching Boxing altogether, though. Aside from College Football games, no other program on Friday generates as many viewers. Plus, ESPN has talked about replacing Boxing with Basketball, if the NBA still is locked out.

    Sucks though now nobody at ESPN knows boxing though. Damn, damn, damn. :-(

    And it is too bad we won't be seeing BK. He should replace Bob Papa, without a doubt. Or replace that fat black football guy that does the ShoBox on Showtime. Not Gus Johnson, I love Gus Johnson. (no homo) Kevin Mitchell or something. He's not a boxing guy he should be gone.

    Or any sport. Skip quotes:

    D. Rose is the last person who should be MVP
    Scottie Pippen isn't Hall of Fame worthy
    NBA Regular season is more exciting than March Madness
    Kicking should be removed from American football


    Ouch.

    Really, he said all that? Is ESPN going to stop covering boxing now?


    I'm a bit miffed about the Pippen comment. He was a baller in his day.

    Yep...he said every word. The guy is just ridiculous. If Pippen wouldnt have got that bs ghost foul call on Davis in that '94 Eastern Conf semifinal against Portland, we would remember him for taking the Bulls to the Finals and maybe getting a ring without Mike. Nobody seems to remember that Scotty was still balling after Mike left.

    Hope he is going to another channel, it would be a great shame if Kenny drops out of boxing altogether. He is a class act.

    From an Aussies point of view, that only sees him when I download FNF torrents, this really sucks. Brian Kenny really loves boxing and i like his interviews with Dan Rafael and also his no holds barred opinions. He has a real chemistry on FNF and i really hope he stays. He is a great crossover between fights
