damn, I didn't connect this when Darke was commentating on the Daws FFN bill.
Smith doesn't deserve these kind of gigs at all IMO

i'm not a big Smith fan but he's put in his time and deserves a big gig
Did he just say Katsidis was down for the first time in his career against Casaymayor?

Darkie promoted to the number 1 commentator on the most watched sport in the country is hardly a step backwards, Friday night was just a bit of fiddle work.

As Hagler has stated - Darkie is the Number 1 football commentator - if that is not the case he is certainly kept extremely busy and thus sometimes the boxing is put to the back of the queue.

Wasn't the commentating on last night's/this morning's fights absolutely dreadful?
And the punditry... Mayweather saying "Sky Sports - best in the business, baby" and that plumped up goat-humper going "He's right" was cringe worthy.

No, because I like laughing at his melo-dramatic commentary.

One of my biggest pet hates - the 'growling' commentary...

Fat Bob is, by a far, the worst commentator EVER.

I am one of the few who thnk Darkie is the best football commentator bar none, I thought Smith was more tolerable than normal on Saturday.
