Hosts William Dettloff and Eric Raskin are joined by HBO boxing analyst Max Kellerman for inside analysis of HBO.com's Hopkins-Pascal "Face Off," an eventual Martinez-Bute-Ward triangle, the Top Rank-Golden Boy feud, and the Klitschko brothers' place in history, plus an old-school game of "To The Max!"

Another great show, guys. I’d be willing to fork over another $30 on top of my current subscription to hear you guys once a week instead of once every 2 weeks. I would like to see the faceoff between Hopkins and Pascal.

Great show. I’d pay $60 a year if Max could be the third host of this show. Kellerman is always interesting and entertaining — and not afraid to handle the show transitions.
Good stuff…I agree with Bill…Vitali is overrated…

Enjoyed this episode less than usual, mainly because Kellerman doesn’t act like a guest, he takes over the whole show. The man hardly lets Raskin and Detloff speak at all and is even disrespectful enough to suggest to them what their opinion actally is certain topics? Best part of the show was when Kellerman signed off. Bring back Richie Marotta or Jim Lampley next time. Or bring in new guys like Bert Sugar or Larry Mercahnt or Dan Rafael. Kellerman sucks !

Lou Dibella and Thomas Hauser would also be good guests for the show. Ken Hershman also. There are more than enough good guests to invite on. They don’t need to recylce the same ones over and over.

I absolutely disagree with Max’s premise of having one promoter monopolize the sport. There’s a big difference between what David Stern does for the NBA and what Dana White does for the UFC. Stern is a commissioner who is charged with helping regulate the sport and trying to act in its best interest. White is a promoter who actually employs fighters and determines what they get paid - and now is doing it without any real competition. White is more akin to an owner in the NBA - except he owns all of the franchises. Fighters in MMA do not get paid nearly as well as those in boxing do. The reason is the UFC’s monopoly power. They are the only game in town so you take what Dana gives you and you don’t complain. In the NBA, if you don’t like what you’re getting paid, you become a free agent or demand a trade. You don’t have that luxury in MMA. What boxing needs is a commissioner who helps regulate the promoters and acts in the best interest of the sport (i.e. gets rid of the sanctioning bodies and promulgates real ratings with one champ per division) - not a promoter with monopoly power who acts in the best interest of his business, not necessarily the sport.
