Fair enough in the story boxingknockout recounts he was a bit rude and it's understandable if that clouds his opinion of him but to play devil's advocate how many times a day does Buncey get a stranger coming up to him wanting to talk about boxing - maybe he was tired, maybe he was having a bad day etc. We've all been rude to people in our time.

His presenting style may grate on some but at least he's being himself. I think he's a refreshing change from the identikit media trained sports presenters spouting cliche after cliche that dominate the airwaves these days. He knows his stuff and he's passionate about the sport and he brings a touch of humour to proceedings and his ability to keep a long show running smoothly for hour after hour is a rare talent indeed.

I also disagree with MightyWarrior's opinion of his writing. I haven't read any of his books but I've read and enjoyed his columns for years. He tells some brilliant tales that many casual fans like me probably won't have heard about, one that springs to mind is a furious Larry Holmes diving off a stretch limo to attack Trevor Berbick. You won't get Jeff Powell or Gareth A Davies writing stuff like that.

He's a broadcasting treasure for me is Buncey to rank alongside greats like John Motson and Aggers.

Thanks for your feedback Buncey!

Ps is it true that you got 5 Ugandan hookers to bend over, touch their toes, and you inserted a bic biro in every rectal orifice!??

Have any of you read his boxing news interview. Its one big two fingered salute to forum posters and his hated "internet". I would say 80% of the interview is about that.Although the idiot seems to think the internet started in 2008-2009.

Its clear Bunce knows he gets paid for doing nothing that anyone on here couldn't do and it makes him deeply insecure and to start lashing out at all fans or anyone who dares give him constructive feedback or criticism.

Half of his boxing news interview is about how he mutes and blocks everyone on twitter and the perverse pleasure he gets knowing they are sending him critiques and feedback but he wont be reading it and they don't know he hasn't read it.

Than take a look at todays Independent and he has a piece about Errol Christie which is actually a shameless plug for his book. Which he mentions three times.

some commenter on there has asked bunce if he will be donating any of his proceeds of his book to christies funeral costs.

None of this would matter except when this arsehole was out on his ear from setanta and with no income coming in and no job he used the sheep on the forum communities for his shameless bring back bunce campaign......he used those sheep.....to get back on TV and since than he has gone out of his way to insult and abuse the same people, all people on boxing forums....talk about insecure.......it all boils down to , he knows we all know as much as him and have followed the sport as long as him in most cases.......all his baloney about contacts is BS anyone can contact any boxer on twitter and get a interview.Times have changed

Bricks wrote:Yeah a lot can change in a year and a half. A lot can change in two months .back than jeremy Corbyn had apparently led the Labour party to extinction and new parties were going to emerge from that...the torys were going to govern forever and may was the new maggie.

Bunce has upped his arrogance and trolling to unprecedented levels since than so ive changed my mind.what i feel now is the picture now.

I did the same thing with adam smith .

You know why smarty pants ? Because im a fair person who admits when hes wrong. Adam smith has proved me wrong....so has bunce in a different way the last yr and half

His behaviour has become more and more boorish.....on twitter.....todays cynical attempt to exploit errol christies death for book sales....the loose cannon crrap on bt sports which is,sabotaging their "new" start....the mcguigan circa 2000-2003 type behaviour onscreen talking over others like woodhall.....the boxing news interview....so now im saying ....boycott bunces book!

Hes learnt a bit of self deprecation with the whole boente affair and how bad it made him look.

But the big thing is....the guy lets his interviewees talk ....the fury and eddie hearn stuff he has done has been amazing for that reason alone.

and hes not a brown nosed yes man like bunce....

Lol u can replace kugan with any number of guys out there. Hell even one of us.....but Kugan I feel would be adept at filling the long hours that a whole nights fight bill demands

I think you greatly overrate his knowledge of boxing, wit, ability to improvise in conversation, ability to keep a long show going all night, in fact every quality needed to make it in that job.

Bricks wrote:Captain spacerod or bunce....... I don't even use twitter fyi. I read the words about bunces (your) treatment of fans on twitter from the interview on boxing news the other day. It was 4 pages of bile. I can summarise it for everyone to save them having to stand in whsmith to read it...."I hate the internet fans, I hate forums, I get 3000 tweets in one night(not kidding) and I mute and block them all but only after a few hours so they cant tell i havnt read it...oh i get such a perverse orgasmic kick out of it ....oh im so clever im steve bunce........ im so superior ....if me and lillis were starting out now we would put all these internet writers to shame....with our work ethic....all these internet writers how many of them made it....dann Rafael and that's it"..........

If im pathetic for getting upset at what someone writes on twitter even tho I don't use twitter, what does that make you coming on here getting worked up about someone attacking you on a forum....why in that case are you even here doing the same thing....getting all hot and bothered about bunce.......its because u are bunce! and how pathetic are you posting here pretending to be someone else!

Boycott Bunces Book!!

The book is a very good read.

I understand what Buncey says in BN about fight fans getting on his tits because they lie about being at fights. That does my head in too. It is an insult to your intelligence if you think about it.

Every man and his dog went to New York in 1971 to see Ali v Frazier. This was when the average British man earned 20 quid a week and had'nt even been to Benidorm on a plane let alone America !
