I watched an IFL interview with Eddie earlier and he said Froch regularly phones him before shows to get the lowdown on fights, its clear as day he has no clue about current boxing and considering he tows the company line he brings nothing to commentary, get him ti fvck

Andy Lee was class as ever

Most pundits would point to the champions they have had in comparison to someone who hasn't trained a pro boxer before.

Yeah but it was a bit of a sideshow

I saw that. Froch admitted himself, fairly early on in his career, that he's not even a fan of boxing. Seems he doesn't even follow the sport properly now it's his job to. Utterly useless addition to the Sky TV coverage, and that's before you even take his blatantly obvious bias and ridiculous scoring into consideration.

I’d rather have someone with a passion. He clearly doesn’t give a flying fück!

There’s plenty of guys out there to replace him. Unfortunately he’s one of the main Sky guys.

Just like he said.. back in the gym.

Running is the least of his problems.

From the interviews I think it's pretty clear Kell has been calling the shots in training. This may be why he looked flat and maybe over trained .........

Cringeworthy watching the cheerleaders from Brook's new set-up.

At 1.40 Brook confirms he was in charge of the training camp.
