    more importantly, he sucks. can't we get better announcers then him and Lennox. They're annoying even when they're not shaking.

    with that said though i respect him.

    it is crazy that one judge had Katsidis winning and he has the right to question whether foul play was involved in this live to everyone watching. :good

    he just goes about it all wrong. he apologizes first just in case he saw it wrong, then he says its the worst officiated fight ever since the last time he said it. As bad as he is with the play by play, he's worse at the interviews.

    i think youre being too harsh on him dude.

    i cant really recall much of what he said in this fight but he didnt say anything bad. he did call the Cotto/Margo fight right on point when it came to play by play.

    Lennox called this fight pretty good by pointing out Diaz's jab which is what really kept Katsidis aggressiveness ikn check.


    i thought too that it was right to tell the Houston crowd that Kat didnt deserve the boos. altogether he was alright with me tonight.​

    Kellerman is such a turd... what is he there for? Why is he interviewing fighters? He's got no tact, no personality, he just lays out these ******ed questions that don't provoke any kind of insightful response - it's like he's trying to give the interview some edge and get a rise out of the fighters but he just ends up making it awkward and appear that he wasn't just watching the fight himself... Diaz and Kat should have double teamed him and left his face looking like Barrios' mouth at the end of the Juarez fight... put the little worm in his place.

    Bingo. It is a JOKE that HBO has this unqualified CLOWN commentating on its shows. Alone among boxing commentators, Kellerman never worked as a journalist or was a participant in professional boxing. It shows.

    And he has a hell of a lot of nerve criticizing corruption, when it was his rich daddy's connections that got him his job at ESPN - a job for which he had absolutely NO qualification.

    i know what you mean by that.

    he gets nervous but he still did something tonight that not many people can do and thats question the sanctions integrity, by calling out the judge that had the fight to Katsidis which was a bull**** score.

    yeah, i definitely give him credit for that and i'm probably being a little harsh - i just dont like that he has such an open forum to the boxing and general public with our favorite fighters and doesn't seem to be getting the most out of it. It must be quite alot of pressure being in there and trying to say a) the right things, b) say the things other people are asking you to say and then add to that you never know what the fighter will say back - i know i couldn't do a better job - but ****, there are alot of people who can. He needs to be replaced with someone that asks more of the things we want fighters to be asked and less things that unsuccessfully attempt to evoke the reaction Kellerman wants to get out of the fighter.

    He was right to question the judge and Kat's trainer was ten times the wanker Kellerman was tonight - guess i'm just sick of Kellerman :(

    Honestly I don't get the hate for Kellerman, he isn't great but he is allright. He is usually on top of the fight and tonight kept the stupid coments down. I don't have a problem with him.

    I thought jabing at the trainer was uncalled for, even though he was right. any way it makes for good TV

    Lenox on the other hand is just way too awkward.

    i feel the same way when it comes to his interviews but he is trying.

    thing is, its easy to say someone else can do better but i cant name another person besides Merchant(sometimes) maybe who can do better today.

    Than Kellerman?? You're joking, right? There's a whole SLEW of guys who are better. Ever heard of Al Bernstein?? Steve Farhood??

    Unlike Kellerman, these guys are QUALIFIED boxing commentators who paid their dues as journalists, and consequently know something about the sport.

    Great to hear Max diagreed with that judge who had it for Kats. I went to the fight and it was too noisy when Max started talking. I thought he was agreeing with that judge.

    i thought about Bernstein. is Fargood the other guy from Showtime? :huh

    thats why i didnt mention them, theyre guys from Showtime with years of experience and wont ever be seen on HBO.


    just like so many people on here, youre being too harsh on Kellerman. he does a way better job than alot of people bash him for. he was right on point for the Cotto/Margo fight which was a huge assignment and he didnt make any obvious **** ups tonight.
