Adam Smith's question at the end......

Post by LeedsLad »

Did anyone else find it disrespectful to both Rees and Watson, who had just served up a cracking fight?

To me, it's a shameless attempt to promote and absolute shocker of a fight..... I'm not a Smith fan I'll say that now - am I just nitpicking?

Bring Max Kellerman over!!!

:lol:

depends on what sort of a mood you're in as regards disrespectful or not......kind of inclined to agree. At the same time tho the boys were being paid for working on Sky so a bit of publicising isn't so out of order.

On the point of the farce taking place next Saturday, I don't think I can think of a fight where someone as aggressive as Haye has gone in with somebody as negative as Harrison. At any other weight category a boxer like Harrison (who I don't think is British level tbh) would not have even been considered!

Going off NEBF's answer I think it was 'who will win, Haye or Harrison?'

Ah, right. Obviously I couldn't have found it that offensive then! See where LL's coming from, but it didn't offend me — Smith had let the fighters discuss their fight then moved onto the biggest talking point in British boxing I suppose.

Offensive, no, out of place, probably — doubt Haye-Harrison was at the forefront of Rees or Watson's mind at that point, they were probably thinking 'WTF?'.

It was an obvious plug from Sky to try and shift a few more PPVs before Saturday and I thought it was disrespectful to two boxers who had just given their all in the ring. WTF has Haye/Harrison got to do with their fight?

I got the idea from Rees' and Watson's one word answers that they weren't too happy at being asked it.

I thought it was a bit out of order. I wonder if sales haven't been too good 'cos the plugging's gone into overdrive.
