What do you think of bravo presentation

I thought it was amusing to see Frank Bruno trying to pretend that he gave a flying f*ck about Colin Lynes and who he was fighting.

End of the day I'm always pleased to see boxing on the box, let alone Live boxing.

I really hope Bravo follow this up and show Bami-Lynnes because it's set up nicely with Lynnes defending successfully and Bami blasting his opponent into next week.

The graphics and recorded words from the boxers were ok, but PLEASE cut out the pre-fight interviews, can they not see how uptight boxers get before a contest?

They really should give those two wally presenters the boot, but don't forget this is Bravo who don't take anything seriously.

Was anyone else feeling uncomfortable when that smarmy tit presenter asked Woodhall and Oliver what is was what like being knocked out?

Surely that pratt had some idea that Oliver had nearly lost his life in the ring?

Thankfully Woodhall took over and didn't let the situation escalate.

Was that woman (the other one) seriously a female boxer - She scored the fight Lynes, did Cawood know more about the game than her.

Thanks, how on earth did she think Lynes won the fight.

My guess is the dizzy gal with the mic qualifield for the job by 'working out' with the producer or director...... she certainly knows sod all about boxing. Makes me wonder how that bloke got his job!

I feel exactly the same way as most of you, but I'm not going to gripe about it. I couldn't care less (Americans, take note there) if it was presented by Jordan and Rio Ferdinand, just as long as they show the fights.

Put it this way, I'd sit through it again, and hopefully they'll stick with it and I'll get that chance.

I turned over after the Reid fight. I was getting pissed with how long it was between fights. Those two presenters were total shite, but the commentary team was pretty good (better than Sky's).

I taped it and watched it last night. So luckily I was able fast forward through the ads and bullshit.

I was pleasantly surprised. I don’t have a problem with the format at all – except the pre-fight interviews as mentioned. It was unhurried (bordering on slow without the luxury of the FF button) and accessible to non-boxing fan but with some explanation and analysis.

The presenters were totally clueless but didn’t try to appear otherwise and seem to do all that their meagre talents would allow. I expect they were the cheapest Bravo could get.
At least they got hold of respectable commentators & pundits – Know-nothing D-listers doing those jobs would have made it unwatchable.

Yeah that was a real blunder....Woodhall stepped in and covered for him, but what a pillock that guy was.
