Sky coverage

Post by 15829 »

Do they think it's only casual fans watching who will believe everything they say, Watt and Halling were more cheerleaders than commentators

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)

Watt, as an ex boxer, is simply awful.

I have to turn the commentary off to preserve my sanity.

I've said it before, and will say it again:

Watch these commentators with some mates who aren't British.

It's shockingly embarrassing.

I'm old enough to remember Jim as a great fighter.

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.

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.

This was oddly true, how can the "B team" be THAT much better than the "A team"? Ed was fantastic.
