ESPN KO of the Year

[Freedom2013]

Max Kellerman was discrediting Vasyl Lomachenko for not being a more "explosive athlete" at that very moment

Beautiful knockout.

There are few boxing people who know less than Max Kellerman. How he is still working is beyond me.

He has a nice haircut

That is most definitely not the best knockout of the year. TheBeast's thread included many KO's where the victimized party couldn't lift his head at all or was left splayed over the bottom rope. This is a good KO, but hardly in the top 50 for the year.

I miss Larry Merchant. He said it how it was and actually knew a thing or two about boxing.

Probably not KO of the year but in typical Lomachenko fashion it is technically beautiful
The left hook lifts his head to exactly where he needs it to be, above the left hand guard to expose the chin to the chopping right hand.
It's premeditated and perfectly executed.

I did like the Lomachenko KO but for me the KO of the year was Callum Smith's over Luke Blackledge,peach of a left hook,1 punch KO

If you don't think max Kellerman knows boxing you are a fornicating idiot. He has some obvious biases, but the dude knows more about the sport than anyone on this board.

There are many posters on this board with far more knowledge of boxing, both history and performance, than Max Kellerman. You may not be one of them, but that doesn't make it less true.

Agree to disagree. I would rate the level of boxing knowledge on this board as pretty low. I have yet to come across a poster who seems particularly knowledgeable.

That was a great KO and ranks highly for its brutality, although Blackledge being so overmatched and taking a heavy beating for 9 previous rounds knocks it down my list. For me a KO is nicer when you couldn't really see it coming.

Wilder over Szpilka probably tops my list for the higher profile bouts. Competitive fight up to that point, both still having moments, then Deontay lashes out with a single shot that suddenly knocks Szpilka cold.

Loma-Roman was nice, but not as brutal, and part of a much more lopsided fight.

Edit: forgot about N'dam-Blanco...that might actually be my top choice for the moment

Kellerman knows his stats, knows his history. He can only talk superficially about style match ups, advantages a fighter has and technique. He can't offer more than that. Larry Merchant, George Foreman, Roy Jones and of course Teddy Atlas, those are the people you want to listen to.

I love Foreman and Jones Jr as boxers but in commnentary both are woeful,especially Foreman(IMO of course)

My guess is he gives a mean blow job. He is the worst American and right up there with Adam Smith in the U.K. He has no place in boxing, has little knowledge and does terrible interviews. Blow jobs are the only option he has for continued employment in the industry.

Have you had one of his patented blow jobs?

Was Lampley watching, he likes to watch I'm told.

Lampley really outdoes himself with his commentary during these 'situations'

Foreman? Good grief, he was wrong about almost everything he ever said in fight commentary.

But he wasn't wrong about his grill. It melts away the fat. So very versatile.

Personally, I enjoyed Canelo knocking Khan out cold the best.
