Re: Can anything be done about Adam Smith on commentary?

The pity of it is, I really quite like Barry Jones, Frampton, Barker on co-comms, but Smith is really beginning to make fights unwatchable for me, he's gotten worse. How can someone with 30 years experience still not have an understanding of what's happening in front of him? He realises who the comp...

That win over Morrell was one of my fave boxing moments of the last few years, he deserves something big off the back of it. Good luck to him.

Re: Who would be your ideal commentary and production team?

In more relatively recent times, Darke and Watt were the best combo IMO. As far as presenters are concerned, I like Anna Woolhouse, Ade Oladipo is fine, Jim Rosenthal is one of sport's great all rounders. They are basically there just to not trip over the furniture and ask questions. I think Barry J...

Re: Round-by-Round: Moses Itauma vs. Filip Hrgovic - 29 August 2026

Itauma will hopefully learn from this. It was just crazy that he was loading up so much when the gas tank was running low. He seemed to get a second wind in round 8, which he wasted by trying to blast Hrgovic out instead of using his brain and boxing. You could attribute some of this to the corner t...

Re: Fighters who were hindered by their trainers ?

Definitely. He's on the Itauma - Hrgovic bill this weekend. Talented fighter for sure, the fight with Abdusalamov was brutal, I can well understand there being some psychological damage after that one. He's pulled out of the fight this weekend, it's a shame because he's always in good shape. That i...

Re: Moses Itauma vs. Filip Hrgovic | DAZN - 29 August 2026

A Class referee Howard Foster I think (unfortunately) Nooo, Foster? Christ sakes. Why not use a neutral ref. It's a world title fight First time Hgovic is hurt on the ropes Foster will dive in Sad but true. Itauma will need to be knocked unconscious before this ref will consider saving him.

Re: worst managed fighters

Any votes for Mike Perez? What has he been doing these last 10 years? I think he was traumatised by what happened in the Abdusalamov fight and subsequently lost all motivation and momentum. He struggled with alcoholism after that and claimed he was drunk in the ring for his first round KO loss to P...

Re: Fighters who were hindered by their trainers ?

Pepe Correa was totally wrong for Lennox Lewis, evidenced by how much better he was under Steward's teaching. That and Correa's advice to Lewis just before Oliver McCall knocked him out "Forget all I told you and knock this mfer out"

I mean, who the hell says that?!

Re: Benn and tests

The fact it's a title fight means there are sanctioning bodies rules. The WBC’s Clean Boxing Program, overseen by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA), requires all WBC World Champions and top-15 ranked fighters in each weight class to enroll in year-round random testing. I suspect the WBC ...
