Do they think it's only casual fans watching who will believe everything they say, Watt and Halling were more cheerleaders than commentators
Re: Sky coverage
Crap commentary tonight, really disappointing to be honest.... More than just the actual scoring was the derogatory tone and attitude they had towards Chilemba. Sure his workrate was fairly low but he was boxing Bellews ears off at times and instead of getting acknowledged it was just being ignored or summed up as 'awkward' or 'difficult customer' and all those type of phrases that imply the guy is a spoiler when actually he was much the cleaner boxer, he just didn't put his foot on the gas early enough to secure the decision. (I still had it 115-113 Chilemba)

Re: Sky coverage
Watt, as an ex boxer, is simply awful.
I have to turn the commentary off to preserve my sanity.

Watch these commentators with some mates who aren't British.
It's shockingly embarrassing.

Yes shocking commentory. I thought Chilemba edged it. I couldnt believe the way they carried on.

He is a terrible commentator, but tonight was a new low.

Hate to agree with the consensus, but I agree totally.
It was beyond biased.
Re: Sky coverage
I preferred Ed Robinson and Glenn on the red button

It's OK, switch over to allegedly now and you can see Statler & Waldorf.
Re: Sky coverage
jim watt should not have a job
his scorecards are never correct and he is awful at his job
retire him

Re: Sky coverage
Not sure about the rest but I have noticed of late that his scorecards are often off the mark. Which I suppose calls into question what he's watching.

Re: Sky coverage
This was oddly true, how can the "B team" be THAT much better than the "A team"? Ed was fantastic.@markmcgee87 wrote:I preferred Ed Robinson and Glenn on the red button
