I disagree. He asks pertinent questions, the last thing we want is a bunch of fornicating yes men.

Normally that call is reserved for Ghanians esp from Accra.

However he does wheel it out for some very low standard Commonwealth defences.

I used to like when Jim used to say: "That was a stupid thing he did.." he got a bit of stick for Benn vs McClellan if I recall, he said something like: "Benn punched the life out of him".

Yeah he got a lot of stick also when he said mclellan was quitting.... but he didn’t know what was going to unfold. I like the way Jim spoke his mind and wasnt afraid of being controversial..... boxing commentary (with the exception of the entertaining black skellington) is so bland. I blame Adam Smith who know nothing about boxing he just likes his own voice

Smith like other modern day commentators thinks screaming comments and stretching out words is good commentary. Froch is rubbish as a co-commentator, Malignaggi is so much better.

Nevertheless Smith does have some valuable insights thanks to his close relationship with the fighters.

For example it was him that knew Bellew having Bomber tattooed on his back wasn't a tribute to the victims from the Ariana Grande concert.

That's a fair point. I was watching the fight with five mates and when we saw his tattoo we all turned and looked at each other and said "that bastard Bellew has deliberately got a bomber tattoo to stick two fingers up to all the teenage girls who got killed in that terrorist attack! Fvck him! Definitely supporting Usyk now! Heartless wanker!" But then luckily Smith put us straight and we breathed a sigh of relief and went back to supporting Tony......
