Yep

x2

x3 all the old commentary teams were great,including Harry Carpenter.

Watts commentary was always class, he def had plenty of stick on here from some quarters though.

Miss Jim. Arrum punchees

Watty and Darkey....... miss them both

I dont mind Smith but I think the fella Andy Clarke(is that his name?) is the best Sky have got just now

Alex Steedman and Barry Jones are the best duo in the country IMO

He did. I do recall jim watt boxing bingo with all of his typical phrases "arum puncheeees"

Total respect to him. He added a bit of class to any commentary team

Jim Watt Bingo - " His Legs have Gone"

Bang on the chen
You can't toughen that area

He got out at the right time, his last few years at Sky were not great, but the early days were glorious.

Andy Clarke is the good one.

Andy Scott is the baby faced younger one who does a lot of the interviews.

Miles better than Smith who spends more time talking about past tense things than the fight in front of him

You've all forget the classic Jimism.

Arrrrmmm punches.

Apart from the 5 or so posts above which all refer to it

Jim Watt was class. Always a fan.

He always used to mention: "gymnasium"

And if Adam Smith reads posts on here, and thinks maybe in a few years after he's moved on, fans will miss him too.

No Adam, we won't.

As Charlie said, Jim was at the St Andrews Sporting Club last Thursday. We had BBC Scotland covering the British Bantamweight Title & Jim was there with his wife Margaret to be made a Patron of the Club in recognition of his outstanding contribution & support.

Jim & Ken Buchanan topped the bill on the opening night of the St Andrews Sporting Club in 1973 & I believe that 45 years on, it is the oldest surviving private members boxing Club in the world.

Jim had a lovely video tribute shown to the sell out crowd and a great interview with top Scottish sports broadcaster, Hugh Keevins. Both Jim & Margaret were looking great.

Jim was the frank Sinatra of boxing commentary

adam smith is some daft f***er down the pub on karaoke

ppl also forget how good a boxer watt was

maybe because he sort of came across more as your grandpa then a tough as nails former world champ
