Is there a man whose voice doesn't suit his looks more than Adam Smith?

The incongruous thing about his voice is that he's quite deep voiced in his commentary, but to look at him you'd expect a high-pitched effeminate lisping noise. Clear case of overcompensation IMO

I'm referring to that episode in 2008/9 when Rosie and Frankie Warrrren went to the fat duck for oysters as Frankie liked the place.what happened was a horror story...they all got chronic food poisoning and the fat duck the so called world's best restaurant at the time was closed for a month for an investigation.it turned out the oysters had faeces on them,shiit to the layman.

Frank and Jim were sshitting like horses for weeks I heard jim had to have his bathroom redecorated after all of it was over.......we're there lawsuits from Jim ....did he blame Frank? No......

Now imagine if that was Steve nunce who eat shhit covered oysters........assassinated gaawwdd doesn't bear thinking about

Adam Smith is pretty irrelevant. He might be the front man but the real big man behind the scenes is Barney Francis. I doubt Smith makes any decisions without the go ahead from him.

Smith is just a toff who studied theatre and likes to growl a lot but he holds no real influence.

I bet all of Eddie and Matchrooms negotiations go through Francis.

Very funny - great work. Jim did actually try and sue - he lost at Oxford County Court. Bizarrely, as part of the settlement, Heston offered a free meal at the Duck on him. Not sure if rush back to the place if they'd served me oysters with a light dressing of poo....

Heston should have advertised the fact he had fresh organic peruvian shitt included in the dish.(courtesy of the chef from lima)..the sunday times would have called it "revolutionary" and a "game changer" and britain leading the way in nouveau cuisine...."worthy of an extra michelin star" the poncey guardian would proclaim.

Lets face it the man has served shiit for years.why did frank and rosie expect anything different on the night in question.what makes them special?

That was the gist of the defence blumenthal used as to why rosenthal ate shhitt.

Going back to adam smith....

Last night...." fascinatingly poised this carl"...."yes fascinating fight adam".....smiths mind control is subtle and persuasive....he now has carl froch reduced to nothing more than a hired henchman and lickspittle mouthpiece

As for the post fight sky crolla interview it was disgusting" can you cum again anthony"...."yeah i can cum again om only 30".....he shoukd have said mind your own bloody business or show me your mrs and ill cum again...more evidence of declining standards

Thing is though Bricks, Carl isn't that difficult to mind control, this is a man hired as a boxing expert who several years ago said in an interview that he doesn't follow the sport, this is a man who said Chisora would beat Pulev because he'd never even heard of Pulev. You could tell Carl that Terry Flanagan is the undisputed light middleweight champion and he'd probably believe you.

:TU: aye. Froch was a great fighter one of my favourites . But his new role is lowering him in my eyes. He used to be a gobshitte as a boxer and that's what we want to hear in the commentary box. Instead Smithy is going around telling people Carl is his new best friend and getting Carl to dress and talk like him.....he's been growling lately too.

Adam Smith is an absolute cretin! His inane nonsense that expels from his mouth makes me want to punch him so hard in the mush!

Yeah I agree, Carl Froch's wings have been clipped and he is resembling one of those string puppet dolls. He's definitely reading from a script.

As much as I hate Bellew I quite liked his commentary on Saturday

I turned on late Sat night, to avoid godawful sky build up, only to hear first words out of a Smith's mouth
"...going back to Barrerrrrra and Morrrrrrrrales.." you know, the same fu****g thing he says EVERY time there's a "world title" around featherweight :witzend:

I switched off commentary immediately and put music on -, anything to void listening to that dumb f**k - and watched it that way, until around round 5, when it was obvious Crolla was taking such a battering, Smith will have calmed the f*** down by now , so turned it back on and sure enough muted commentary from Smith and Froch....making it just about bearable.

Ridiculous to have to do this, I've never done that before, but God what a dumb F*** he is

This is very interesting from Andy Lee:

https://www.balls.ie/boxing/andy-lee-361907

E.g.:
JM: The commentator on Sky last night said 'Listen to the roar for Taylor'...I didn't hear any roar. I would have said it's an uninterested crowd, to be honest. We could overestimate the extent to which she has captured the public imagination based on what the TV commentary are saying.

AL: People are certainly aware of her now. But the people who go to these fights in England, they're not boxing fans, they are Sky Sports promotional fans. They just go to event; event fans. Half of them wouldn't know what they are watching. That's why the Sky commentary, to me, has been so damaging.

They are so biased toward the home fighters, and everytime you watch a Sky boxing show, they call the fight wrong. Because they are so biased toward the home fighters, to their guys. They got one wrong again last night, they do it all the time.

I think Tony Bellew, in his unpolished way, says a lot of the right things. But the rest of them are singing from the same hymn sheet.
Undoubtedly, Lee rates Taylor very highly. He said on air that Taylor was the "best fighter on the entire of the Haye/Bellew card. The display she put on was the best thing about the whole night".

This might be construed as damning with faint praise somewhat, as he didn't think much of the Haye/Bellew match-up:

I think we've reached peak trash talk. The Haye/Bellew stuff was unlike anything we'd seen before...it was an insult to the sport. And the fight itself was a farce.

I do exactly the same. I mute and stick the headphones on just to be extra sure I'm safe from Smiths nonsensical dribble and verbal fecal leakage.

Andy Lee has nailed it....it is very very damaging to the sport of boxing what they and hearn are doing.....no offence to anyone but they sold anthony crolla as the second coming of ricky hatton....he isnt...hes an honest hard trier and could be marketed much more honestly as such....its only two ways with sky...either its a grudge match....or an average fighter is built up as a crossover superstar when they arent....big man smith thinks he has the british rhonda rousey or laila ali on his hands with katie taylor.....he doesnt...womens boxing has been around at a high level for two decades.....its only now copycat smiths ears perked up.......and its all being promoted wrong......where will her opponents come from....if they really had the courage of their convictions and this wasnt a cynical cash in and rip off...they would be holding entire prime time cards with only women boxers and katie taylor main eventing if shes that popular as sky suggest.....

smith is acting like a man whose shhit dont smell anymore....... .....he needs to read this and pull off this stroke of genius if he really wants to get taylor over......... instead of lying to us about how over she supposedly is ........the only ffucking roar on saturday right was smith growling not the crowd roaring for taylor....so smith should realise extreme situations require extreme measures and do the following....


work a man v female... taylor grudge fight.... pretty soon to get the mainstream the world of sports watching........have a guy around taylors weight some 5-25 nickle and dime peon with a big mouth do an undercard fight on a taylor bill beating a lithuanian cab driver by brutal first round ko...than do a interview with this guy,ostensibily cos the fight finished early so "johhny lets go to ringside"..

where the said victorious male boxer says on the tv interview post fight "no offence but this is a mans sport katie taylor doesnt have the balls to do it neither do the rest off these sports bra wearing nicolas and katies, theyre better off working in marketing or going on big brother....its me thats put on the performance of the night"

adam smith doing the interview would act all outraged,and speak platitudes about female boxers being legitimate highly skilled boxers like the two faced politician he is......

the sports papers and twitter would explode over this incident...it would start a debate about males and females....twitter would explode over it ......social media would be buzzing ,people who had no idea who katie taylor was or had never seen a boxing gight would be talking about theincident......hell adam .smith would finally get his dream to appear on loose women to talk all about it.....

than u woukd have this man who insulted womens boxing(for some reason i imagine a mouthy irishman or traveller) turn up at taylors gym with cameras asking her for a fight....eddie hearn and smith would act all shocked and say how appalling the mans behaviour was like they did with chisora-whyte .....than they would make the fight...

through it all taylor acts quiet and dignified

The morning of the first press conference,smith would look into his bathroom mirror ,pump his fist and say " have it!!",
Than he would practice growling in the mirror as the concierge bought in french toast, lemon tea and soya for breakfast on a silver tray.....

the press conference would be a feminists nightmare but the world media would be there, columnists like camilla long,germaine greer,joan bakewell and jack ryder would be commenting on the fight....with a positive backing up of taylor and praising sky for making the fight and showing womens sport was on an equal footing with mens. ........Clare balding would write in her waitrose column about it and that she would like to be in taylors entourage.susan boyle would make a prediction to the daily record....katie hopkins woukd write taylor belongs in the kitchen rattling pots and pans....hell even donald trump and teresa may would announce they would be watching......

on fight night rhonda rousey would appear in taylors corner.....the male peon would be soundly thrashed in a rework of calzaghe -lacey....the crowd would be worked up to a murderous frenzy as,taylor whipped her man........Smith woukd compare it to barrrrrrrerrraaah -morrrrraaaaales and say it was "another great night for boxing"

The fight would break all sky boxing records when everything was totalled up........two weeks later ,two slim white middke class males woukd be lying in a bangkok hotel luxury suite surrounded by a dozen thai prostitutes...."im gonna fart on her face smithy"..."oi hearnsey send me over those 4 whores to suck my kknob like good little women you greedy sod" adam smith would reply.....as Eddie hearn and adam smith laid back on their king sized Bangkok bed to reenact the scenes from the leicester city football orgy of two years earlier,adam would look into the mirror ,pump his fist and shout " having it"

What the hell is going on....the feelings been creeping up on me....i knew something was different.....than the penny dropped...

Adam Smith seems to have read all our critiques....hes suddenly become a brilliant commentator again like he was in his early days!

Mind blowing stuff...hes actually started commenting on the action on front of him...doing a play by play...like the old days ten years ago when he put serious work on his commentary

He has started raising his voice to suit the action rather than needless growling that took over his work all this decade

He was actually a pleasure to listen to on the wlad-aj bill and today the parker-razvan bill....where suprise suprise he dropped the bs and told us straight up parker didnt look impressive.

Maybe hes dropped the bs as he truly feels secure that he is now boxings big man...

Smith truly is.

He deserves a huge chunk of praise for the whyte/chisora, bellew-haye, aj-wlad masterpieces he was right at the centre of in every aspect from setting them up as ppv"s, the press conferences,the promotion,having a table thrown on his head all in the name of ppv records and new column inches....his suddenly transformed commentary which provided the soundtrack......

Adam smith has set the world of boxing on fire again!......(thread pans to smith in a white dressing gown reading this...looking into the camera and pumping his fist with "having it!"
