    What the **** are you learning from kellerman? With his fanboy rants, he doesnt give an boxing knowledge.


    Too sum it up, at least merchant is very entertaining. Kellerman is nauseating to listen too.

    And to add, you asked if your knowledge has ever been increased by anything he has said in the fight?

    Well thinking back one that comes to mind is the recent fight Dirrell vs. Stevens fight. If you saw the fight Stevens had trouble getting on the inside side because he was the smaller shorter man, and when he did he would go for the head instead of breaking Dirrell down by the body.

    Merchant mentioned how Stevens had to turn his disadvantage into an advantage (his height) and he appears unable to do so. I thought that was a nice quote. Unless someone says something outlandish or extremely annoying during the fight it doesnt stick out in your mind much.




    Oh as for giving advice on techniques and footwork and all. Thats the former boxers job (Emmanuel, George, Lennox) not Larrys.

    Truth be told Larry Merchant has his faults and annoying points, that said I'll always maintain that he's much, much more preferable to Max Kellerman.

    He may be an old wino, however Merchant is still a class above this guy

    Is there a reason all the Kellerman threads keep getting deleted?
