Apart from Steve Collins talking shite a couple of times, and Fury with his self-promotion, it was good.

I quite liked the female interviewer/anchor.

She asked questions in a "laymans" kind of way for sure, but that is probably a good thing .

The snooker finished early, and I heard there was a fit woman doing it.

There was one one fanny on analysis I was interested in, and it wasn't Tyson Fury.

Tripped over herself a few times early on, but pretty good for a Eurosport broadcast.

Very solid other than the giving the feeling that Klitschko had chosen Leapai

For Eurosport excellent. It didnt cut off mid-fight. It didnt flip from one fight to another. It didnt randomly habe an advert mid round & had a red-hot presenter.

No negatives from me.

Never seen the coverage but my pervy brain got the better of me when i heard there was a nice presenter and it turns out that it was Charlie Webster, she has done bits and bobs on Ringside, Sky Shows in the past too.

She forgot Leapai's name at one point, and made a few other gaffs.

As I said on the live thread for though, it's still better than I expected from Eurosport.

I wasn't expecting there to be studio analysis at all.

Fury face when she said "I could listen to you all night" was a picture.

Wilder vs Klitchsko is a bigger fight than Fury vs Klitshcko, Steve.

So with access to Sky and the internet, the best the Boxrec perverts can do is find a decent looking woman, fully clothed, talking to Tyson Fury?

I watched the Lucas Browne card live then watched Wlad after that but skipped all the talking and watched the fights,what annoyed me was that a few times,we were missing highlights of KD's because the ads were too long

I did enjoy reading the RBR thread on here though,funny as per lads :salut: I've seen the skirt on Sky a couple times,didnt she do Prizefighter?,from what i understand she made the odd faux pas ;;-)

I thought it was a good effort from Eurosport. It was a fairly slick production but was slightly hampered by some of the studio work early on in the broadcast. Certainly better than some of the stuff we've seen on BNation and Channel 5 over the past 12 months.

The coverage would've been fine but Collins in the studio and Woodhall at Ringside were atrocious. Their ridiculous comments, negativity and obvious complete misunderstanding of the art of boxing being to hit and not get hit is not going to help attract people to watching Eurosport coverage.

The lovely bit of skirt presenting made the coverage 1st class :twisted:

She's actually boxed once or twice for the Lynn AC. She's done the roving reporter role a couple of times on Prizefighter shows.

As for Eurosport as a whole production, I thought it was solid.

Collins was like a broken record, fury was just well fury really, and Charlie live was pretty good ! As for the fight, no one beats wlad.

I thought Klitchsko looked slower than normal personally. I thought everyone was a tad harsh on Leapie (only a tad). There were some times in which he was weaving out of the way of Klitchsko's shots - I thought Klitchsko's hand speed has slowed.

I enjoyed listening to Steve Collins, have a lot of time for him. When he was talking about the aussie not knowing how to work inside, I wish he'd have given us a demo against Tyson Fury.

It really annoys me how Klitchko leans on people and headlocks them when they get inside. If he's gonna lean down like than, why not "accidentaly" throw a punch at his nads and claim it was low because you're being leant on?

I didnt notice the decline in speed myself. I thought he looked as athletic as he usual does. Most of Leapei's swings were hitting air and he was getting tagged at will on the whole.

I just thought the handspeed wasn't what it was. Reactions and footspeed all were fine. Obviously he didn't need to move out of first gear and he can probably speed up the hands if he wanted to. I just remember distinctly Leapei actually ducking and diving out of the way from a 4 punch combination (none landed) and then Klitchsko hit him flush with a 3 punch combination and Richie saying "oh Klitchsko's hitting at will all round" - thought it was a bit harsh cos he was making him miss sometimes.
