Big respect to Bravo channel for showing the boxing

Oh my god.

"Hosted by Ed Hall and Sarah Cawood"

Sarah Cawood has a certain appeal about her, but really don't want her presenting boxing.

and Ed "I'm present anything" Hall.

To be honest I dont really give a shit who hosts it, its all about the 2 guys in the ring, imo.

Atleast they are showing it which is a positive for boxing and boxing needs all the positives it can get at the moment.

Yes its Big Fight February on Bravo so there should be more fights through the month.

It's a shame they can't get some decent sports presenters on it though, what the fornicate are those two going to contribute to it. Ed Hall gets on my fornicating tits.

Still fair play to them for spotting the niche.

The presentation has an awful lot to do with the future of the show though - BBC have had some great fights poor presentation - poor ratings.

Bravo in their first run had some exciting bouts featuring Cornelius Carr - poor presenting - it didn't work.

What annoys me more is that there are some very good and I would say out of work experienced boxing presenters who would probably cost half the amount as these two.

Dominique "I look a bit like Paul Dempsey" Hollier hasn't done much for ages and I assume would be looking for a job.

I had to Google Ed Hall and Sarah Cawood to find out who they were (I'm shit with names). Turns out Sarah Cawood is the super-fornicating-annoying one from Night Fever and Ed Hall is the super-fornicating-annoying one from a bunch of shit reality shows. Great.

We should count our blessings, however. I also found out that they're both represented by the same agent: http://www.vivienneclore.com

We could've ended up with an evening of championship boxing presented by Richard "Twice Nightly" Whiteley & Jo "I'm Not fornicating Funny" Brand.

Bravo should give Gary Mason a call.

Are the above mentioed presenters also the fight commentators though?

I have noticed that Bravo are also going to be showing some 'White collar Boxing' as well.

Oh dear I have just realised who Ed Hall is.

http://www.five.tv/accessibility/progra ... presenter/

He specialised in presenting poor quality programms for educationaly sub-normal, over weight people who have a celebrity/reality TV adiction.

stujones · Post by **stujones** » 07 Feb 2005, 14:28

I was thinking about this guy as a presenting. Has done a bit of television work in the past.

From the little I have seen pf him at on the BBC, Bobby Vanzie didn't seem too bad.

At first I thought Ed Hall was that guy from the day-time insurance adverts - that Irish guy who did some boxing work years ago (think it was on cable). He bugs me: always comes across as wooden wherever he pops up on the box.

As it stands with those two, they'll be okay as long as they're not commentating. :x 8)

Ed Hall is the poor man's version of johnathon Ross' brother, and that's saying something.

Doesn't Ed Hall want to be that Dermott geezer who often presents reality type shows.
