He's just terrible, at his best, he sounds like a drunken bum - though to be fair, I'd have to get drunk, sat next to Bunce all night.

Alan Partridge and Barry Jones are commentating from UK I think.

I just watched that Adrian Boner video and I definitely need a drink now.

I think it is okay, it seems to be getting better as it goes along as well.

You think as a spectacle this is okay, really? I was hoping sprott would really take it to helenius, but hes doing just enough to lose every round. Only entertaining thing is his cornerman telling him it as it is.

I thought Sprott was starting to get into it when I wrote that.

If he won that fight a world title shot against Povetkin would have been a realistic possibility. Awful performance from Sprott.

Sprott is a decent fighter but he just doesn't try. He could have beat Helenius if only he tried. I feel sorry for his corner. I remember the Skelton fight when Sprott was just laughing at Skelton. He got more than words in the corner that night.

I do this every time I watch a Sprott fight :witzend:.

I've got a feeling Groves was fighting on the card tonight to make his presence know for a fight against AA or steiglitz and FW mentioned he was due to sit down with groves in a couple of months. I've got the impression hayemaker promotions is a mercenary force which will go to the promoter that can deliver the fights smart business.

Who is Wilder fighting fighting on the Khan undercard?

Hopefully a top 10 British fighter, but probably a bum.

Booth will have signed exclusive contracts with nobody. They have been truly independent in everything they have done right from the start. Put noses out of joint, but it seems to have worked out well for them.

At least Sprott didn't get wasted like Brewster, Peter and Lyakovich.

Sprott is capable of so much, but I suppose it is pretty painful in there, maybe he prefers to be defensive and get out okay. Looked like he could have beaten Helenius if he really got stuck in like Chisora. He hits harder than Delboy.
