Very true, I would just rather if they did less promotion for this and spend the money showcasing other fights.
Give the dues to Eddie Hearn - I questioned Carl's decision to move camps and said he doesn't have cross over appeal if he couldn't be a big ratings winner on being terrestial TV then when can he ever be.... well I give my dues to Hearn he has got sky talking out of the palm of his hand and cannot fault the effort.... If this doesn't do well then I am not sure what will. Just wish Sky would focus on other fights.... I've heard very little about the undercard even.

No, its smiths abilities as a journalist, his inability to ask questions the fans want to hear, his sycophancy, his inability to create entertain ok ng tv. The repetitive nature of his shows , his poor choice to deal only with hearn, that gets to me. Public schools have nowt to do with it
Which public school mate out of interest?

My point was he doesn't "look" like a typical boxing fan (although what is that) so I think many give him hard time due to that., and don't see beyond that.
I'd much rather have skys current output than no output. Although I accept much could be done to improve things.
I think Jamie Moore and Charlie Webster could be utilised far more for starters.
Ed robinson speaks a more pronounced received pronounciation and perhaps doesnt look like a "typical boxing fan". But no one mentions that or criticises him. And its not just as robinson is articulate and entertaining. The problem with smith is undoubtedly the odd faces, the camp mannerisms the weird arching of his back the loving longing glances with his johhny.his insistence that all are perched on stools instead of chairs.on top ofvthe boxing output presentation
True mate, although Ed was a fighter (obviously not a decent one) so carries more kudos than smith just cos of that.
Smiths gurning cracks me up, and his laugh. But best of all is his sudden INCREASE IN VOLUME for no apparent reason mid-sentence

I'm confident Ward beats each of them anywhere in the world, as he's a superior fighter.
This is definitely a fight to determine the top man below Ward; to suggest that this fight will determine the best in the division (not that you did) is incredibly stupid.
