Smith is a cheerleader the sooner they are rid of him the sooner we hear honest appraisals instead of the Sky party line. I am not a fan of Woodhall either he even put on a fake gruff voice last time he called a fight with Adam. Sad.

I agree that Spencer should have more airtime. Froch is also excellent. Moore could host Ringside without the need of a sidekick. He is natural and asks relevant questions. Adam and Johnny have allowed their massive egos to botch every high profile interview they have done like Hopkins and Wlad Klit.

And the answer to this is to copy Setanta's approach?


Setanta being the station that went bankrupt, right?


Just so we are clear.

Setanta's marketing strategy towards their boxing coverage the reason they went bust?

Something tells me it had a teeny weeny more to do with the rediculous figure they paid to get the Premiership football and the over the odds they paid for the conference football.

There is a reason why pre Sky conference football was never shown on TV baring goals in the regional news.

Setanta boxing viewing figures for most fights apart from Clazaghe and Haye were very poor. Cotto v Margarito 1 14,000

Allegedly channel commentry just as bad as skys.

Their boxing strategy was equally flawed. They would spend 20 minutes, or more of Bunce's boxing hour, previewing fights on SKY, then gave less time to fights on their own channel.

They not only gave advertizing time for boxing events on a rival's station, they even paid for the programming too.

I bet SKY couldnt believe their luck. Setanta do the leg work, SKY get the viewers.

Johnny is overbearing in the studio and made Carl Froch very uncomfortable a few times even going so far as to touch Carls leg to silence him. Froch looked very surprised and then brushed at his leg! If it wasn't so rude it would have been hillarious.

Johnny should be gone in favour of Froch or Moore, Adam should get behind the scenes where he belongs and Dave darts banished altogether. The faces he pulls as he finishes an autocue reading are pathetic.

They both fought out of the Wincobank Gym in Sheffield so yes they were but Nelson was more a peer of Ryan Rhodes and Prince Naseem.

Cheers, although I confess I was being highly sarcastic which dondada seems to have noticed Johnny mentions it about 5 times per episode I think. Has anybody else noticed how he always talks in 3s and especially favours 'cool, calm and collected'? Growler Smith seems to be running with this as well.
