[THEBUTCH]

Went to DAZN.

[Spud MK2]

Hes not been on DAZN for a while

[THEBUTCH]

The last thing I've listened to that involved Costello was his & Bunce's tribute to the late Ricky Hatton on BBC Radio 5 Live last year

[SeanBrennan]

I find Costello to be the best no idea what they got rid of him or he left of his own volition

[Boxerbeetle]

Costello was excellent on radio, not so much on DAZN. A million times better than dreadful Smith though, obviously.

He’s a much better radio commentator than he was on DAZN.

Yes that’s literally what I said

I read between the lines on your post haha

[THEBUTCH]

There's a real lack of quality boxing radio commentators these days....long gone are the days days of Harry Carpenter, Des Lynam or Ian Darke

John Rawlings is the last bastion of the 'old school' and God bless him

Mike Costello was good, but lacked up-to-the-second detail...absolutely essential for radio.

Ron McIntosh (AKA "The Ronster") is innovative and IMO is probably only 2nd best to Master Rawlings

[Cholo_cws]

Gareth A. Davies (Talksport) or Steve Bunce (5Live.) What a choice!

[THEBUTCH]

It's only in round 5 and Radio 5 Live's Jonathan Overend & Steve Bunce are almost shouting themselves hoarse !

It sounds like a real rockem-sockem fight

[Spud MK2]

[THEBUTCH]

Honestly, I’m not going to complain because even the shouting female commentator is better than the boneheads DAZN offers up, But we really get the short straw with commentators in boxing, don’t we? I mean Ronald tonight at one point described a punch landing in a north easterly aspect as per the ring. He’s not of this planet, and you don’t get him commenting on any other sport apart from occasionally tennis, and even then they stick him
on court 19 where nobody’s watching

I like Big Ronald, seems a good bloke and he describes the events in front of him accurately, even if he does it in a rather long-winded fashion. I suppose his use of compass points or (his undoubted favourite) the “clock-face” are very helpful for some listeners, although personally I find that sort of description hard to visualise so tend to just ignore it.
