Doesn't really fill you with confidence for Gammer's British title hopes

What happened with ITV's commentary on the Khan fight?

I could have sworn that I heard Khan was going for his "4th professional defeat", and when he landed a good shot it was described as "a good right hand from Hamed"!

Or have I just gone insane?

No you weren't.

You also heard correct over on ITV 4 - John Rawling plugging the video action on the ITV website of Khan and Harrison's win!!!

Yes, was very novice-like. Very, very poor. I also heard them make those errors. Warren jumping up when Audley went down was my favourite part of the night. Thought Mitchell would have been in big trouble if his opponent could punch. Skelton fight was a total farce. Happy for Williams.

How John Rawling had the Williams vs Harrison fight level going into the 11th was beyond me.

I normally like John's commentary but he wasn't on form tonight. Stuff like "Good body attack from Williams" was often followed SECONDS later by "Danny is just coming forward but hasn't done anything all round". He seemed to focused on what Danny wasn't doing and not what Harrison wasn't doing.

Duke seemed to be constantly changing his mind aswell, did the pitta patta jab that Harrison was rarely throwing count or not as scoring shots. One round they were, the next round they weren't. I was screaming at them to be honest.

They all seemed a little nervous, even John was doing occasional Jim Neilly esque slip ups (as mentioned here), Jim Rosenthal although a good anchor was nervous tonight also. Seemed as if they felt it was make or break for prime time ITV boxing.
