KOTV...

Post by Stuarty »

Does anyone still watch this show? I record it and watch every week purely out of habit. It is always a couple of weeks behind and it is genuinely shìt! How has it managed to stay on so long? I remember watching it In my bedroom when I was a wee boy about 20 years ago!

same I record it and watch it every week. result wise its miles behind some of the fights it shows from the states are just a complete joke and the fights from the uk are normally from a matchroom undercard. Every now and then they do a feature thats not too bad

It survives because it fills unattractive time slots at a low cost.

Don't complain, it's free boxing on one of the council channels!

Weird show. It's padded out with schedules, fight results and rankings (all out of date), occasionally interrupted with obscure fights.

Still, I watch if it's on and it's better than nothing.

They have the occasional interesting low level fight, last time I saw it they had Yori Boy Campas still boxing in Montana or somewhere similar.

I've not watched it in years. Does Halling still do the voiceovers?

Yeah I think so, memory is a little hazy but I think it was as recent as this year and I'm sure he won.

I sometimes wonder why I still watch it but it always makes me smile when they refer to themselves as "the undisputed no.1 boxing show" or something similar.

I record it and watch it weekly (although must admit tend to fast forward a lot if I've already seen it). I quite like it though the other week they had two lads making there debuts from a sports hall in America....where else you gonna see stuff like that on tv

Ringside was a bit of a joke by the end (aimed at football/darts fans) but I do miss some bits Ed Robinson's bit etc.

Yeah his bits were always informative. It was good if they had a fight to build up. Johnny Nelson was starting to act more of a cheesy helmet as the weeks went by though! If they bagged him and had more of Jamie Moore and Ed Robinson it would've been a top show.

Agree 100%

It is still a shame that at a time Sky Sports are asking their boxing fans to fork out more (with increased subscription charges and far more pay per views) that they don't even give them a weekly magazine show anymore.

yep I watch it every week - I actually start to look forward to the last fight on the show. It's normally 2 blokes that clearly can't fight and woefully out of shape. It's a guilty pleasure.

I do like then re-runs of old fights too.
