Apparently Frampton/His team, asked that Halling isn't on commentary, hopefully that means he isn't and they stick with Adam Smith.

There have been some demands to get this bout made.

I'm pretty sure they swap over about half way

Hope not

heard that too , bizarre really , how can a commentator affect the result of the fight ? the Diva's are at it again

Josh Taylor looks class. Chaibi is an educated boxer but Taylor is walking through him.

It won't affect the result but it could affect people's perception of the fight. Halling and Frampton haven't seen eye to eye in the past and I don't think he could be trusted to be anywhere near neutral for the fight, he's biased enough usually as it is.

Not saying the stoppage was early but the count on the Josh Taylor fight seemed really fast.

Maybe it's just because the timekeeper didn't add the "aaahhh" at the end of each number

Are there any commentators who are bigger cheerleaders than Halling? Can't stand him....

halling is aggravating to listen to no doubt

I don't find his voice uplifting either, just dour

Taylor looks the business. Looking forward to seeing him progress.

Very impressive, think he beats Nurse and Hibbert now to be honest

Definitely.

Some decent fights there before stepping up to Bob Ajisafe...

He flattens Tony Dodson.

Won't fight Callum Johnson as they have the same trainer.

Tom Baker is a 50/50, slightly favour Burton at this point.

Haven't seen Heffron fight.

He doesn't beat Ajisafe now or in the future unless he massively improves.

looks like Baker and Heffron are the fights to make then, get a few defences of that British Title...

As soon as Watt and Halling come on, thread goes dead

Is McCullough managed by MGM?

Close points Frampton for me - I think Frampton will fight on the back foot

Jim Watt seems to be under the impression Wayne McCullough is fighting here.....

That aside, Isaac Lowe seems pretty decent. Fluid, nice shot selection. Not much head movement from Marco and Lowe seems comfortable in there so far.

An advert break between every round on an undercard fight. Fvck me, I've just forked 17 quid for this Sky you money grabbing pudenda. Pummel me with adverts between the fights, I'm just about ok with that, but this is royally taking the piss. I'm fully aware that this is being sponsored by William Hill now you corporate pudenda. I will be doing my gambling elsewhere....

I emailed Sky to complain when Fury won the title and the mofos cut immediately to adverts. When they eventually bothered to reply they just blamed "the host broadcaster". It does take the piss but little sign of them thinking about stopping it.

Yep, they can't pull that excuse tonight. Just shows a complete lack of understanding of the sport, hearing the corner is a key part of following the fight, understanding the tactical insights, where they feel the fighter needs to up his game and how they are dealing with cuts etc. Poor.
