    Larry Marchant needs blowing........away!

    He sounds like a ****ing corpse, never heard anyone talk so slowly.

    Why can't Michael Buffer do the interviews?

    "Taking a blow" is an old expression for pausing for a few deep breaths of oxygen. Its not so crazy or unusual. Merchant drunk or diminished by age is still a better reporter and interviewer than most, including the douche apparent, Max Kellerman.

    I am a Merchant fan but it has nothing to do. That was an appropriate comment as Taylor clearly punched non-stop for full 2 minutes and Kelly was shaking it off - last 20 to 15 seconds of the second. But having used another term like a breather would be convenient. What does the initials cvw on the smilie mean anyway?

    Given how that fight ended, I agree with Merchant. Jermain sounded like he needed any consolation he could get.:hey
