Didn't even realise they were doing the whole BUTE vs JOHNSON card.

You have to give it to Warren, he making it very easy to subscribe to allegedly at end of month. Good domestic and world boxing for a few pints, can't say NO to that.

Boxing fans are always sceptical (who can blame us all?) but it's been pretty good on the whole.

I think the commentary team need a review though. Replicating Sky doesn't mean it's any good.

Richie, Bunce etc are good value for the most part - can't say the same about the rest.

I will be subscribing.

Totally correct, the few thousand that are watching can't keep the channel alive on our own...

Anyone else watch the post Groves/Smith fight conversation. They were discussing whether Smith could make a comeback, and Bunce, looking Richard Keys in the eye with a straight face said something along the lines of:

'He'd have to come back for peanuts. Who'd want to carry on doing their line of work and take an 80 or 90 percent drop in salary?'

Excellent. I like Hardknocks but Premier Sports will be getting binned with 456 in.

I think the team is excellent. Bunce is superb, aye he gets a bit carried away but his knowledge is top notch and he knows the business inside out. He's stop Adam Smith in one if it was a 12 rounder!

Rawling has always been good, Enzo is doing well for a rookie (although he needs to nip it in the bud when the corners are talking but he'll learn) and Woodhall - top, top dollar, superb.

Keys is better than I thought so fair play. At the moment wee Barry and Jim Watt are the only Sky guys I find myself missing. Without being harsh, Enzo out, Watt in job done! :bag:

Watt in ?

I'd not subscribe if it was 10p let alone £10 if he's comes moaning along.

Al Bernstein or an American would call it without any bias - and be positive and not negative.

Watt has single handedly destroyed more atmosphere's than i care to remember.

When he tag teams with Rawlings, it's absolutely dire.

Rawlings "Here comes Bernard Hopkins.... walking to the ring.... Hopkins is in his 40's now.... he's making his way to the ring.... Bernard Hopkins.... started boxing after being released from prison... here he is.... he's wearing his X mask.... as he.... walks.... to ....zzzz the ring"

FFS.

If i was tasked with covering a fight, I'd be telling you what year he hooked up with Naz Richardson, how he fell out with Dibella, how he upset an entire nation when he fought Tito - i'd be setting the temp and the atmosphere about this bad ass grandad. Not describing how he is walking to the ring. I'd be talking his spars, his reach compared to the opponent, common adversaries - just fleshing it all out in a professional manner.

Apparently Rosenthal is replacing Keys. Jim had some big paying gig during Rugby World Cup so Kays came in to cover.

Meh, he just agrees with everything Rawlings says.

He doesn't actually offer much constructive input, positive or negative. Nice bloke and all, but neither him or Rawlings are up to much, in my opinion.

Get Jim Rosenthal on there. He is a better front man than Keys, has just as much boxing knowledge as the others and is a much better commentator than Rawlings and Enzo?

Jim Watt and / or Al Bernstein, either are better than Rawlings and Enzo (sorry for those of you who like Enzo's commentating, but I don't, pretty dire, in fact).

Enzo Macc is great, Buncey is good value, but I don't like Keys being there. As for subscribing? Tough call - I fear that we'll soon end up getting a steady progression of Warren mismatches.

I won't be subscribing. £10 a month for a single channel that isn't HD and isn't on 24/7 is an awful lot of money these days.

Out of the 3 presenters last night, I can't stand Keys /9thought we'd got him off the telly when he left Sky) and Bunce just talks over everyone. Woodhall is good though.

Not sure about Enzo Mac on commentary either.

Would much rather still be getting fights like last night on Saturday night on Sky Sports rather than this new channel.

Keys is alright as it goes, although his boxing knowledge ain't all that and he ain't pretending it is. Buncey's tip top, love the enthusiasm, if he plugs my t-shirts on his show (www.nobleartboxing.com) I'll buy him beer until Xmas. Richie Woodhall is cool, I always have a little chuckle to myself when I beat his brother Steve, back in '86 :wink:

Enzo's accent grates me, sorry, nothing against the Welsh but I'd rather listen to a Kiwi! Jim Watt? Forget it, moaning toerag. Get Ian Darke on!!

I'll subscribe, the quality has been pretty bloody good IMHO. :TU:
