I like Webster, seen her on ringside and do the odd boxing piece on SkySportsNews. She'll be disappointed with performances though, she made an arse of a few things but maybe it was just down to nerves or something at getting the gig. I'd much rather spend the night looking at Webster than Keyes or Jim Rosenthall and she could have farted into the mic and still provide better coverage than Johnny Nelson ever could, so i wouldn't mind her getting the role again in the boxing circuits.

Collins is not only boring, but he talks nonsense.

Fury can be entertaining when he's calling people plumbers or participating in a spot of karaoke but as an analyst he's almost as bad as Collins.

Altogether a different level of professionalism compare to what Sky does, not to mention that other channel. Steve Collins nonsense and negativity was very annoying at times. Fury when reasonable is good to listen, I actually think he is a good analyst, but when in a prick mode is to me unbearable. And yes, girl was lovely, what a rest after Steve Bunce and Adam Smith. Her flirting with Tyson was funny, unless you are Paris Fury of course.

What surprised me was I don't think Fury said "hey, Listen" once.

I think it would be a good competition who says what the most times in a 15 minute interview.

Fury - "Hey Listen" vs Rob Reid "Do you know what I mean".

Obviously, Rendall Munroe would win any competition with the amount of times he says obviously.

John Rawling always says "he's looking at (insert name) as much as if to say...."

Yeah he does, nice one.

Would love it for a journo or a fighter to go "no I will not effing well Listen" the next time Fury says "hey, Listen".

The minute I realised Steve Holdsworth wasn't on Comms I turned off and didn't watch the Jones Vs Lebadev fight.

I'd much prefer Collins to be honest in his assessment than just a pr man for Klitschko and Eurosport. Although blaming Klitschko for making a mandatory defence was ridiculous.

And Collins wasn't harsh enough in his views on Leapai. I thought the guy was completely incompetent and showed little inclination to do anything except get hit. I expected him to have a real honest go. But he didn't. A question: does standing around taking punches while offering little in return constitute 'heart'?
