Live he can be a mess. On the show, preparing to say what he wants to with editing, he's better. Sure he'll read fan questions, but he's thinking about them or is getting some help. No being on TV isn't easy, but after a while you get better at it. This is coming from a person who has done many live presentations, some of which were recorded to an audience. In a Iive debate, he'd get crushed vs.someone who knows the sport. Kellerman is very good at fooling the casual fans that he knows boxing on the level he's portraying. To a causal fan, he comes across as cool and hip as long as he minds his P's and Q's. I do like the show. PS: Max does post on the web, possibly in this forum!
a couple of initial super featherweights fighting a guy that hasn't moved up not even 1 time? You said that as if GGG was some kind of bad ass. He avoided the best because he knew what he was, and he can never make up for it. How bout we work on not whispering GGG name in the same sentence as Mayweather and Pac. He doesn't belong!
This is exactly what I think, he came out of nowhere and as you say, was catapulted skyward. He seems like he's always trying to come up with something profound and stylish to say instead of straight forward analysis.
Maybe. Just maybe, if Kellerman wasn't so pompous he would just call the bout and not try to sound like a philosopher. Maybe Kellerman needs to step into the ring with Beterbiev to know what it actually feels like. Good for Gvozdyk for having the intelligence and the balls to say enough when he knew he could not go on.
What's funny, as Kellerman was setting up this piece he used examples of other sports where guys couldn't compete. When referring to tennis he said maybe Federer couldn't return Djokovic's serve. The funny thing about this comment is that Kellerman chose to use two of the biggest names in tennis but Djokovic is not a big server so it was not a good analogy. Just a glimpse into what you are saying, that his depth of knowledge is more superficial than the casual would understand. We need another Don Dunphy.
They didn't belong in the ring with him. And they both knew it. Mayweather and Pac are better in a pound for pound sense, but that's a fantasy ranking. I'm talk 160 pounds.
Can someone on this forum explain the difference between being biased and having an opinion? How is mk biased for believing that ggg was overrated when he was being compared to Marvin Hagler? He was clearly overrated if using that example
I have mixed feelings about him...he can come across pompous. A few shows back he had Shawn Porter on after his fight with Spence. He said something that bothered me. He said that Shawn would be a good test for the newer up and comers. The way he worded it really grabbed me as kind of a diss right in front of Shawn...like he was a gatekeeper and nothing above that level. Maybe I'm crazy but it sounded like an insult to Porter's level.
