Adam Smith leaving Sky boxing, bitches!

[maverick23]

Where have the rumours on this come from?

[coneye]

I dread to think if I did something wrong and was told I had to go up in front of a panel of judges from the Boxrec’s British Forum.

I can picture it now, I wouldn’t bother turning up for my hearing, I would simply go straight to the gallows.

Don't want to worry you , But your next week

Thin air.

Think Smith was bad , just wait and see how it goes if sky replace him with BUNCE

Bunce would be far better than Smith

You got to be joking Bunce the biggest ass licker of all time ,, I've got a headache now , just thinking about him and his high pitched girly screams into the microphone .

Bunce is an incredible arse licker, the worse. For some reason people think he's a straight talker. They are taken in by his bluster. He's worse than Graham Norton.

Was all over Twitter tbh. And a few reputable people posted about it.

Does Norton make biros disappear as well?

[Counter-puncher]

so 3 pages of an Adam Smith thread and nobody is even mentioning the famous left hook?



Bid Daddy Smith will be round with Big Dave and Buncey to sort you all out in a straightener, straight or dirty go it's all the same to Left Hook

He's someone that's genuinely loves the sport, shame if he goes.

Watching the BBC World Cup coverage just makes you realise how far behind boxing is. We've got public schoolboy Smith with zero boxing experience growling about what Bomber means when we need ex pros with in depth first hand knowledge of the sport.
Question is, who would be our Gary Lineker? I'd get David Haye doing it

He’s been in a position all of us would dream of despite being an atrocious comms person. I personally cannot stand his obvious bias when it comes to home fighters… and he does it with a passion that makes you genuinely question his actual knowledge of the sport.

Seems like a good, family man and I’ve got nothing personal to say against him and wish him no harm… but I would not get upset to see him replaced.

[Wee Tommy]

I say again total b* llocks

Did you just get off the phone with him mate?

Same, the commentary is very poor. He isn't the only biased commentator in the world though. The main BT guy is toilet and Chris Mannix turns it into an art form.

Careful what you wish for, BBC World Cup, or any kind of sports coverage, is woke nonsense with presenters / pundits chosen solely to tick diversity boxes rather than picked on merit.

Sky should use the long overdue exit of the truly awful Smith as a chance to turn over a new leaf. Make Ed Robinson front of house again, put Andy Clarke on comms and get rid of Anna and Johnny and Matt

Are you saying Mica Richards and Ian Wright are only employed because they're black?

'woke nonsense'

[Counter-puncher]

it amuses me slightly when people talk about ethnic minority presenters only being given jobs 'because wokeness'

like, all the white presenters and commentators and pundits are there purely through merit? absolutely every one of them deserves their job, they give insight and analysis you'd never think of yourself? all of you, in the days before seeing black people on the screens, you were there constantly praising the quality of those non-woke presenters? you were always there thinking, 'wow there is a level of insight here I'd never have gained anywhere else and certainly not from someone with brown skin'?

Alan Hansen basically said the exact same thing thousands of times, over and over and over. i think he had basically 3 phrases/ hobbyhorses. he was fvcking sh1t.

Lawrenson was a snidey prick thought he was funny and had fvck-all insight of any worth. sh1t.

we're on a thread about Adam Smith, worst boxing commentator in the history of Britain, and we're angry that some presenters other than him aren't very good?

but we can't blame 'woke' for that can we?

Adam Smith is the Mark Lawrenson of boxing. Once saw Ed Robinson described as a Sky goblin on here and wouldn't disagree.

Ed is a top bloke. It's no wonder he doesn't post on here anymore with childish comments like SKY goblin.

[Boxerbeetle]

Yeah Ed Robinson is top-notch.

Excellent post

[dookus]

there will be claret on the cobbles, mark my words

[Dioufy]

Didn’t Alan Hansen was go over 1000 games without giving Liverpool a predicted win?

[keithmoonhangover]

Far too much casual racism on this forum.

[MightyWarrior]

Ed is another “nice guy”..But he’s not a good presenter at all, as stiff as a wooden post. Maybe they can give him some presentation lessons, I think Gary Lineker was a bit like that at first.

And all those sky yes men that Smith pulled together over the years company Nelson, Froch..hopefully they get rid of them too. Clean sweep
