Max Kellerman’s use of exaggerated comparisons and unrealistic descriptions of fighters seems to be detrimental to Zuffa Boxing<\/p>\n
Max Kellerman has come under some serious heat regarding his approach to promotions lately.<\/p>\n
Max Kellerman is currently facing a fall from greatness<\/p>\n
The veteran boxing analyst has been facing constant backlash from fans ever since his journey with Zuffa Boxing<\/a> began. There is no doubt that there are only a few like Kellerman. His in-depth knowledge of the sport is remarkable in many ways. For the majority of boxing fans, he was the voice of boxing, at least at some point.<\/p>\n However, the fans are not quite happy with him recently. Especially after the press conference for the <\/a>Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua bout.<\/a><\/p>\n New York Eric Jackman puts it this way, \u201cIn the press conference, he\u2019s spending ten minutes doing monologues when we wanna hear from Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury\u201d.<\/p>\n Although he agrees that \u201cThere was a time where Max Kellerman was a sharp, astute, kind of truth-teller in boxing\u201d, That doesn’t change his opinions about Kellerman’s shortcomings.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIn this capacity, he\u2019s not being used properly. For one thing, at the press conferences, he\u2019s up there kind of just bloviating and saying things that don\u2019t really like help set the table or create any stakes or make you care any more about the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n He, along with other fans, has continuously pointed out Kellerman\u2019s pattern of making unrealistic, exaggerated comparisons.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is talking about prelims guys being Muhammad Ali or Mike Tyson\u201d, he said with visible frustration.<\/p>\n Perhaps Kellerman believes his new approach to commentary will benefit the company. In reality, fans have claimed that this has done more harm than good. His elongated comparisons and very obviously exaggerated praise for the new fighters are not selling the fight anymore.<\/p>\n
