They don't tell you how many people were there when they knocked out George Groves.

"Good win #########, were you worried when he put you down in the third round"

"Well Max, y'know, I'd like to thank my mom, al haymon, god, my trainer, the fans, my nutricianist, the guy who walk my cat"

"Who do you want to face next?"

"I'll let my management team/promoter decide that"


I"d like Max Kellermans response to go something like this

You'll what? You'll let other people decide what you want?
I asked who YOU wanted to fight, grow a fornicating pair and give me a straight answer you complete shiterag.

Also, the first question I asked you when I stuck the microphone in your stupid face wasn't "who would you like to thank?", it's never "who would you like to thank?", it varies everytime I interview one of you fornicating automatons yet you all regurgitate the same shit. Just answer the fornicating question, al haymons and god never ever have anything to do with what i asked

And while you're at it please stop answering every other question with pre-scripted muthafuckin cliches

" I'd like to thank God for giving me the strength to try to kill the other guy" I'm not religious but I'm pretty sure if there is a God he wouldn't be giving anyone strength to harm someone else.....

yes!

there's a thread in here somewhere...........who has promised the most devastation, only to deliver a load of sh*te. PS, no answers of Audley Harrison are allowed :shame: , too easy ;;-)


Having said that it can work in reverse too. I remember Naseem Hamed addressing Kevin Kelley who'd come transatlantic to be ringside for one of his fights. Naseem said something like "I can honestly say, sitting here now, you are going to get knocked, SPARK, OUT!" :lol: ...........I think it was the first time I'd heard that expression before. Kelley, a bit gobsmacked, came back with a clumsy and unconvincing "I'm gonna smoke your boots" (another one I hadn't heard). If I had a grand I could have dropped it on Hamed right there, based on that alone. Anyway we all know what happened, Kelley was sharp as a razor blade in that fight :bow:
