MacIntosh seems like a nice bloke... just super annoying and not made for TV! I don't mind Nelson. When I've critised him is because he was a terribly boring fighter! Bunce is a pudendum and everyone knows it. The sooner someone kidnapps the old git the better. He only interviews upandcomers because noone likes him. I think BBC and allegedly are blind to the outside world. I've not met too many fans of boxing, forums, people on Twitter that like Bunce nowadays. Froch, Fury, Haye and other refuse to give him the time of day. And he needs a punch in his fat old face!
every single boxing presenter on tv sems to be of the 'marmite' type, we could knock bunce and lillis...but they do a job!
richard keys is 'boxing clueless' but he does a job.
johnny nelson is a decent guy who knows the trade and been in there and done that, i quite like him.
ronald mackintosh is an articulate knowledgeable guy who will appeal more to the casual boxing fan than the astute boxing fanatic. i quite like ronald.
surely fellas...if you dont like the presenters, of they get on your tits, or are ruining british boxing......Then dont watch them! put up or shut up!
i think paul dempsey went to setanta ireland. perhaps his trademark haistyle let him down one morning as old father time caught up with him beyond the healing qualities of grecian 2000.

Was Dempsey ever a boxer? He had a pugs face for sure.
Starting to look very strained now. Sky runs more magazine shows than fight shows now and that balance is all wrong. They're justifying their own jobs more than covering the sport itself. It's a shame. And wrong.

Sad but ohh so true.
Geniunally feel sorry for a lot at Sky. Their production and style still blows the competition out of the water - just not showing enough.
Not sure where the blame lies, is it at the head of boxing's shoulders or is it even higher than him.
It was very sad when Richard Keys yesterday smugged at rivals cutting back on the boxing.

Imagine if Marvel made Avengers 2 and Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, Captain America, leather catsuit big tits and not Jason Bourne were all in it yet they had no one to fight. It would just be that lot sat about talking about what happened in the first film, which is very much like Ringside's current output.
Nobody will come up with a better analogy than this.

His cock ups when presenting Ringside are getting worse!
Are they that bad Terrrrrry that every one needs pointing out? There sees to be a bit of 'stick it to Johnny Nelson' on a few threads lately; it's becoming overt to someone as thick as me. Nelson weren't the best ever boxer and isn't the best every presenter; he got better at the boxing and will get better at the presenting. Love andpeace man 8)
i actually like and watch ringside, i think people need to cut nelson some slack hes not a natural presenter but is getting better and his partnership with adam smith is quite likeable i like nelson as a pundit rather then presenter maybe spencer oliver might of been better and think ringside should do a few more tribute shows.

By my reckoning Johnny got his 'stablemate' count for this series up to 500 this week.
SNAP thats just it. The inanity of Nelsons questions....and the fact that by asking such small talk like questions he is trying to justify his presence....of course its not Nelsons fault but Smith who sits next to him and is his boss.
The most annoying illustration of this , and evidence that Nelson just has a set list of stock questions to ask, and does not understand the art of the interviewer ala say a Paxman is.....he often asks a dumbass question...and the interviewee might actually go on to start saying something interesting and revealing about something else, and NElson will jump in butt in whatever and stop the guy and than than ask him something irrelevent just as the guy was opening up!!!
Have you ever thought that Johnny is getting instuctions from the Producer through the ear piece ?
Try putting an earphone in your ear with the radio on, and ask a mate a question at the same time.
This presenting game isn't simple.
Not a shock for me that Nelson comes into his own when out of the studio where he has a bit of licence.
