Craig Slater - Sky Sports

Post by davidas »

Irritating. He's bumbled his way through the build up to this and has become an irritant. Doesn't excite me whatsoever and can be quite embarassing ("let's get ready for weiiiiiigh iiiin" - cringe) Much preffered Ian Darke personally.

I loved his one-to-one with Audley after the Wednesday press conference — "I'm joined now by the challenger Audley Harrison ... which is good!" Which is good? Not a highlight reel moment Craig.

I like Slater, give him a chance he is still cutting his teeth but he does a good job and on the whole I think he does a good job for Sky. He seems to have a good rapport with the fighters.

Bit harsh, but then again we all have our opinions.

To be honest I dont mind him, just as i didnt mind Gabriel Clarke on the ITV coverage either - and he got massacred on here.

I dont mind any of them to be honest. Jim Watt can sometimes be a worrier and over cautious with his commentary. Infact at one point I found his negativity completely overwhelming and used to watch Friday fight night turned down low.

Please - let it be that Gabriel Clarke is never allowed anywhere near a boxing production - ever :witzend:

I quite like his delivery and the cheeky look in his face

The weigh in was a bit of car crash telly but Slater was under a lot of pressure as there was obviously chaos all over the place.

The whole shebang was late, then Logan didn't even read Haye's weight at first.

Give the Jock a chance.

Not seen much of Craig Slater so can't really comment. Gabriel Clarke's pre-fight and after-fight interviews were pretty cringeworthy. He was a 'space invader' as the Fosters adverts would say! Always got too close to them and it always seemed a bit uncomfortable.

I like Slater. He does a very good job. I wonder if he is a boxing fan as well as a commentator though? We know Paul dempsey wasn't a boxing fan at all, but he did a marvelous job on Sky and Setanta.
