BUNCE HAS GONE WOKE

[knockout]

On a similar topic .. did anyone read Eddie’s review of the 2021 boxing year on BBC website .. it was in fact just a review of his own stuff no mention of anything else as far as I could see ..

[BigEars]

To my mind there is no man better to talk about boxing during black history month than Steve Bunce.....

iCarly can come again.....

[margaret thatcher]

just dont tell bunce what time the fights in russia are starting

I forgot about that

What happened there?

if i recall, there was some confusion over when a russian fight/card was starting, bunce gave some misinfo on twitter, another guy tweeted the correct info, which badly triggered bunce's sensitive ego and caused him to go into a bizarrely sustained and intense personal attack on the guy, which made absolutely no sense cuz the guy was just relaying info that he got (that was correct) and never went after bunce of anything

big daddy is a bit of a weirdo creep tbh, i'll say that even if he sends big dave in sheffield after me

What a tool. I see he recently went off on someone on his twitter. Time for Big Dave to get involved again Fvxk Bunce anyway. He can stick his biros up his arse the twat

[Boxing Prospect]

His latest argument on Twitter is one of the stupidest things I've seen

[Nightmare Roy]

Sorry boys staying out of this one, I don't want Big Dave from Sheffield on my case.

Don,t do twitter so i,ve nwver seen them , but i,ve read on here enough about him threatening people ..... posters .... with shite or sending people round ,, alls i know is ,, threatend me , i,d be waiting outside the studio , or a boxing show ,, just to show him , just because you mix with fighters it don,t make you one , especielly when your carrying a big fat overweight belly , and get out of puff shouting in a microphone

Yeah you dont talk about the review of 20221 without mentioning Fury vs Wilder 3.

Mind you the 5 live boxing awards hardly mentioned Joshua vs Usyk. For me as an event it eclipsed Fury vs Wilder 3....bigger stadium , more genuine intrigue before, great walks.

Usyk should have got more recognition for what he did in 2021

Steve is only doing what 90%+ of people do to stay in work and that's do what their boss wants them to do. His knowledge of British boxing is second to few (maybe none). He has put in a serious shift and could out-anorak anybody on here but he's also got enough savvy to know you've got to dance to the tune of whoever is paying you.

Integrity is essential in his line of work - his paymasters may appreciate Dunce saying what they want him to say - but that's not the primary reason why they initially employed him. He has got to attract viewers/customers.
People increasingly turn away from politicians they see as lacking integrity; the same risk applies to journalists and commentators.

Only hardcores can see through any lack of integrity, that's probably why he doesn't seem to have much love for hardcores. Casuals won't notice. He's good at dumbing down. He knows his onions but doesn't try and baffle casusals with science. It's why he's kept earning out of the game for as long as he has. Love him or loathe him he is a piper that keeps getting paid so he must be doing it right in the minds of those handing out the pay.

It's a good match up no doubt. If Taylor is slowing down then Serrano beats her (indeed that's my call) but ahead of Spence vs Crawford?

[Coco]

Fury v Helenius beats Taylor v Serrano hands down

[mickey1975]

Fury v Helenius beats Taylor v Serrano hands down

Shields-Marshall does.

[THEBUTCH]

There's been bouts in the divisional rounds of the old ABA championships that would completely eclipse anything those women have featured in....and lots of them

[orbtastic]

Can Serrano bring the heat

Coneye been around a long time on this forum
Always says it how it is

[Steveh583]

He always looks like he’s on ching

[mickey1975]

I've met Steve a few times and can confirm, he's a bit of a knob.

Bunce is a sell out. Back when boxing was mostly on allegedly I rather strangely enjoyed the punditry of Bunce and Steve Lillis, it was raw, like watching 2 mates in a pub chatting about the fight scene. That worked for him. His attempts at being a more polished presenter for hyper-woke producers at BT doesn't fit him at all.

Icing on the cake was his post-fight interview with Fury after Wilder 3...

Bunce: "Is that the best fight you've ever seen?"
Fury: "I didn't see it, because I was in it"



That.... or the black history month where they set it up for David Haye and cut to Bunce instead

My favourite was when tank was knocking Walsh senseless. “Look at Walsh he’s doing a Michael flatley”

Steve Lillis is old school quality. Steve is whoever ever pays the most money, end of

The only people in the boxing media who call it as they see it are porky and ty booth.

Seriously .

Yes. YB sometimes

I remember back in his setanta days he read out a txt of mine on the Boxing hour for some poll he was doing then a couple years ago I won a copy of his book from him on Twitter, we exchanged a couple DMs mainly concerning my details but I always had a bit of a soft spot for him but there's no denying he can be super sensitive on social media, some of it is just bizarre

[Coco]

I was a big fan of his when he had free reign on his solo show, nevertheless he is very thin skinned and he has had to follow his paymasters rules on many occasions, remember Audley?
