Fans of nostalgic box are pleased to see former HBO commentator Jim Lamkley, who will be brought back on May 2 for the triple head, the former HBO commentator. Some also hope that Max Kellerman will be brought back.
Kellerman worked for HBO for years until they stopped broadcasting boxing in 2018. It will be interesting to see that Kellerman is brought back as he is no longer at ESPN. He was one of the guys who made live boxing entertaining, especially the back and forth with Lambley.
The Dream Team?
What I liked Kellerman is that he Howard cossell Tell it as if it is attitude, where he was not afraid to give his mind. Cossell was the best, but Kellerman was a good light version.
In some ways, Kellerman is preferably above Lambley because he speaks faster and can generate statistics from previous battles. He is like a human computer. On the negative side, he was stiff and not as humorous as other HBO commentators, such as Roy Jones jr. And George Foreman. The two were wonderful.
The younger fans only know Kellerman for his work on ESPN, along with Stephen A. Smith, who was not a good mating. Those did not have the chemistry that Kellerman had when he was at the HBO crew. During the first few episodes, ESPN should have noticed that it was a bad step to place Kellerman at Stephen A. It takes someone with a sense of humor and is interested in being a foil for him to work. Kellerman was all wrong for the kind of work. He is not theater enough.
Lampley was more of an intellectual, so he and Kellerman were a good team when they were with HBO. Fans who remember the broadcasts miss the old crew they had. The fighting cards were not always wonderful in later years, but Kellerman, Lamkley, George Foreman, Roy Jones Jr. And Larry Merchant made it fun. Kellerman arrived when Merchant left the team, and it was initially a strange pace.
