It is good to have more boxing shows on tv, the only problem with Eurosport are that their schedules are all over the place, you tune in at say 8pm and they have tennis or something else on, they had a boxing shows listed before, but some did not get shown at the right time, bad news if you want to record it.ringtoneboxing wrote:What a cracking move my Mickey Helliet to link up with Eurosport, I'm surprised there's not been more of a fuss made about it.
I can't wait to settle down in front of the box with a cuppa tea and a jammy dodger for tomorrow night's action all the way from London. In Germany (and other countries) we're not supposed to be able to receive Sky (although I am told that some still do) so this is about the only legal way to watch British boxing.
Great stuff
That's a real problem with Eurosport. I've had that problem when I'm watching sports other than boxing. You intend to watch one thing, but 45 minutes after it's listed as being on the previous show hasn't finished.Anzi wrote:It is good to have more boxing shows on tv, the only problem with Eurosport are that their schedules are all over the place, you tune in at say 8pm and they have tennis or something else on, they had a boxing shows listed before, but some did not get shown at the right time, bad news if you want to record it.
Steve Holdsworth, he likes to talk all the way through the fight, sometimes about non related things, he once spoke about his army day's lol, I like the Americans, they make the fight exciting.ILikeBeer wrote:That's a real problem with Eurosport.

Commentators can be a bit wank as well. I remember watching a Michael Sprott fight live a few years back on Eurosport. The commentator spent an entire round thanking his friends and family for the Christmas cards they sent him, without mentioning a word about what was happening. I wish I could remember his name, it was so bad it was funny in it's own way.
That sounds like the same guy.Anzi wrote:Steve Holdsworth, he likes to talk all the way through the fight, sometimes about non related things, he once spoke about his army day's lol, I like the Americans, they make the fight exciting.
Lol, yes I think he is, he used to do small hall shows around the country as well, film and commentate and then sell the videos.ILikeBeer wrote:That sounds like the same guy.Anzi wrote:Steve Holdsworth, he likes to talk all the way through the fight, sometimes about non related things, he once spoke about his army day's lol, I like the Americans, they make the fight exciting.
Is he still doing it? I don't watch much boxing on Eurosport.
I know Richie Woodhall sits in sometimes on Eurosport now. I remember one guy couldn't have made it more obvious that he knew nothing, and sat there the entire broadcast going; "So what's your opinion on this, Richie?", "I'm interested to know your expert opinion, Richie..." I'm not quite sure why he was even there.
Did Steve Holdsworth just refer to a boxer as "a coloured fella", or did I mishear?billy bessey wrote:British Southern Arena title

Harry's verbal reaction was " Oh Dear " Classic, who will forget Harry forgetting his position, when Bruno rocked Tyson in America, shouting " Go on Frank " or something like that, the great double act.
