Presenter from Sky for football and darts, does TalkSport on the radio too.
another bird who knows nothing about boxing then?
Basically, but she'll be a hell of a lot better than Maya Jama though as she actually works in sport and is a pretty good presenter by all accounts. Doesn't take a brain surgeon to work out that appointment however.
Who's maya Jama? Is she a rapper or something?

She’s a presenter, she co-hosts that Euro show with Crouchy. Apparently she also used to go out with Stormzy.

No, it was a crap joke based on Chris' s nickname.

Eddie said one of the big names was a future Hall of Famer. Either he was talking bollocks or he’s overrated Barkers win over Geale.

Bellew is a very poor choice. He is a real Matchroom/Eddie man who just doesn’t call things objectively.
Costello is a good addition but this certainly doesn’t amount to “game changed”.
Eddie’s move to DAZN is gonna be to the detriment of UK fight fans. He is gonna be spread too thin and his concentration is clearly on AJ and specifically Canelo.

It’s hardly game changing is it though ? Aside from bringing in non boxing social media celebs .. which is a game changer but not in a positive way

considering we used to get smith, company johnny, and bellew all together....it's an improvement
funny enough, for as much as a twitter weirdo as paul smith is , i thought he was a pretty good commentator. no frills , didnt talk too much, and not a total homer like bellew or nelson

He mentions Froch / Haye / Frampton as examples of guys who’ll be used/involved but maybe not every week.

Delighted to see Costello there & most of the male pundits are good apart from Bellew. He’s just a company man & is completely biased towards his pals & the home fighters.
They must be paying Maya Jama a fortune, she’s a big name with a huge following & prominent on BBC radio & TV. They’re taking a gamble that she’ll bring in the casuals.
Laura Woods is a good presenter in my opinion. Seems a nice lass & is pretty clued up. I don’t know if she has much of a boxing background but I think she’ll quickly improve her knowledge & be good at her job as she has with other sports on talksport & Sky where as I can see Jama been more banter & not very professional.
