**** ya man, we don't have those king of commentary in Quebec. If you guys fired him, we will hire him and translate him for the post fight interview haha. For people who says, he isn't objective, well, you know someone objective? I don't, cause it doesnt exist Imo. Opinion hurts, it will always like that. Lot people can't handle opinion. Larry Merchant is a legend
If Larry don't like you then he's not exactly subtle in hiding it. He did not like Prince Naz one little bit.
He's unafraid to ask the diffucult questions no matter how much those questions may annoy any fighter.Even though he can be a bit abrasive,his straightforwardness(is that a ****ing word?)makes him pretty cool in my book.
I wish we could hear him instead of Max "M&M" Kellerman on some of the HBO broadcasts. I can't stand Max's voice and arrogance any longer.
He's the best of the HBO bunch. You just have to be patient and let him get the point out. Unlike Lampley, it's usually worth waiting for.
Lol, I never liked this guy, but it took him asking Katsidis about his brother to realize he's a jerk! He's always been biased, slow, asking crap questions, seems drunk, and trying to sound clever. Maybe he's a good guy underneath it all, but he's incompetant at his job and he's been that way for years. Wonder if the poll will start to sway now.
I think Larry's commentary has gotten worse in the last few years. His comments to Katsidis after the Marquez fight were unforgivable.
Compared to that unqualified clown Kellerman, he's great. Compared to someone like Al Bernstein, he's okay.
