    If there is a time when this is needed, is now. So many cool moments here and I always wondered why they never made more, shits made me nostalgic, imagine Usyk and Fury facin' like this tauntin' each other or Inoue victims sharin' their last words before being teared apart in the ring by the Monster.
    As mediator between the two parts, I think Bradley would work too now since he's a full-time commentator.

    I'd rather have a tranny from Disney Channel host a H2H that suffer a single further Kellerman moment. Never liked the bloke.

    I’m just fine not seeing Max Kellerman on my tv. He was awful. Good riddance to that clown.

    Damn, didn't know Kellerman got such bad blood with the forum lmao. Btw restoring the format would be cool but idk who could replace Kellerman, I suggested Bradley but he can be pretty corny and randomly hateful too with his commentary.

    Why do so many hate Kellerman?

    That entire HBO broadcast team, as well as their presentation is so much better than anything we’ve had since…imo.

    Presentation was great, but their takes were abysmal as was their commentary. It wasn´t always like that, but slowly HBO just got really bad.
    In the end I despised them all.
    :lol: Lederman was basically just quoting compubox every damn round.

    Whats funny is that commentary has gotten only worse since. HBO were quite bias but SHO now takes that trophy with ease. And everyone is now doing basically a podcast instead of focusing on the actual in ring action.

    So that’s kind of what I was thinking too.. at the time I remember being annoyed by them, but now what we have with Top Rank, DAZN, Sho, is so much worse.

    I think DAZN at times have good commentary, but this is because of the amount of events they air and the roster of commentators they have. Initial DAZN commentary was just bleh. Top Rank on ESPN was fine at first, but not great but it´s pretty bad now. Tim Bradley is horrendous as a commentator.
    PBC on SHO... thank god they closed. By far the worst commentary I have heard. The amount of bias and BS was unprecedented. But now they are on Amazon and it´s not really better.
