    None of that **** you just spewed has anything to do with this discussion, apart from your assertion that Max "knows boxing inside out".

    Your "Bias, ha ha ha" etc is particularly ******ed.

    Please read previous posts:deal

    Bunce is a great commentator, always interesting to listen to, has passion and honest opinions, he calls it pretty fair too. Seems like the kind of guy who paid his dues and earned his spot. Wish we had him in the US.

    Very much the argument, you call max an idiot, an i'm just telling you he not one, but a person who cares for the sport an does a fair job,,,,,take that interview that nut job did with kirkland, not one sold question about the duran fight,, that was the question i was waiting for,,,,,were you suprised about the victory, do you remember what game plan was, do feel it was lucky or this was your greatness,,,the guy tried to explain how he got screwed out of the 72' olympic games, instead of hearing him out, he instead ask kirklan if going to quit drinking (i aready know the ansewer to that one), as he swinging somehimself,,,,,,Now if that was max, he would first told they guy, what he believed he could of done,, an if was not much, Max would praised the duran fight, an got the most out of him about the fight, wouldn't of harped on his drinkin an ask if he will be drinking in a year,,,,,an Max regularly hangs out in street gyms,,,,:hi:

    With all due respect their boxing background should not come into play. Australia's main expert commentator Barry Michael is a former world champion but that doesn't change the fact he's a **** caller bias to Aussie fighters. Bunce is ridiculously bias to English fighters and spends half his call trying to hype them up, Jim Watt from Skysports is far better.

    More like street corners, but the less said about that the better:deal

    Please try not to quote wank back at me. Lets admit it Max would never be caught dead drinking beers on a park bench with someone like Laing.

    And if you didn't find that documentary interview informative then I feel sorry for you......I really do.

    From a purely journalistic point of view Bunce is way superior, his articles for the Guardian, Independent and Daily Telegraph that I've seen over the years are far more in depth and well-written than anything Kellerman has done. Max Kellerman is basically a jumped up sports talk-radio host, opinionated rather than informed, who's writing style is very clearly influenced by blogging rather than honed through years of quality printed journalism.

    Kellerman, and the state of the HBO team, is pretty poor at the moment. His analysis is shite compared to Merchant, and his delivery is **** too. I didn't see the Chris John interview, but in general I'd much rather have Steve Bunce here in the UK than the likes of Kellerman.

    :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

    What a JOKE. Kellerman "worked his way up from the TOP" alright. :lol: He came from a wealthy family with connections to Bill Cayton and other boxing people. Alone among ANY boxing commentator you could name he had NEVER worked as a boxing journalist or a participant before he was put on ESPN.

    And no, some stupid rinky-dink cable access show doesn't equal the YEARS of journalistic experience guys like Merchant, Farhood or Al Bernstein had BEFORE they were put in front of mike. There is a REASON Kellerman sucks so bad. It's because he is utterly unqualified.

    Sitting on a park bench with a retired alco boxer is a bit different from a post-fight interview with an active one. What did you wan't him to ask Kirkland? What was the key weapon you employed in the Duran fight? The guys memory of that fight would probably be hazy at best; he's a down-and-out drunk for ****s sake. "Boxing skills" and "keys to victory ****" were not what the interview was about. It was to do with a fighter who could quite possibly have reached for greatness in the sport, but was seduced by the dark side of the business and has now ended up on the scrapheap (judging by what he said he said though, he might have ended up there anyway; yet boxing could have turned his life around. but it didn't - it just gave him more temporary cash to waste on feeding his addictions).

    It was an excellent interview in my opinion, and pisses all over Max Kellerman's street corner rentboy stories any day of the week.

    English fans don't like Max because he called Hatton on his blatant excessive holding during the Castillo fight. Truth hurts and it must have hurt Buncey as well.
