This is spose to be Britian's top pundit:

- 'Garcia a walkover for Khan'
- 'Tricky Thompson will test Wlad'
- 'Bute fight a mistake for fading Froch'
- 'Froch vs DeGale the stand-out British fight' (WTF???????????????????????)

Now the top 3 I disagreed with before they happened. The Froch-DeGale thing is insane. What really gets me is he rips fighters to pieces then bums them on his show (went on saying how Dawson can't fit his entire fanbase on a bus then says everyone will be routing him on against Hopkins!!!)

I thought khan would walk through Garcia too, to say Thompson was going to be a test for wlad he must of been selling the fight to non boxing fans, bute v froch was 50/50 before the first bell rang, and don't be surprised if degale v froch happens one day !

The only previous fight I saw of him was against Campbell and was quite impressed. I always worry with Khan!

Wow a boxing pundit picks a fight incorrectly. WHile we are at it Johnny Nelson and Glenn McCrory had Khan to win inside the distance. Shall we make a thread calling for those guys to be sentenced to death?

He was saying DeGale should be his next fight. It won't ever happen. There's Kessler, Dirrell, Ward, Bute again. He'll never take a step down that far he'll sooner retire... and taking a 50/50 is no mistake

It;s not just that he says one thing completely putting someone down and then when they're on his show says how he was behind them the whole time...

"Lets get this right!"

The man is a legend, his rants are the most entertaining thing about boxing these days.

To be honest I'd only seen the Morales fight going in, I'm not sure I would have thought much of the Campbell win though, he's about 50.

True... but he boxed well

Yes, for being the most miserable and boring bastards on TV.

Where on earth did Johnny get the nickname "The Entertainer"

Should we ?

i think Buncey's mint. Been in the game a long time and knows a great deal.

Garcia a walkover for Khan

I thought Khan would win, but I never saw a walkover - Bunce was basically saying it was a crap match because it was on Sky.

Tricky Thompson will test Wlad

Bollocks. He was just trying to sell the fight more for the channel he works on. Thompson never had a chance against Wlad, and Bunce knows it.

Bute fight a mistake for fading Froch

A lot of people thought this, but another opportunity to stick the knife into a fighter from a rival channel.

Froch vs DeGale the stand-out British fight

Stand out fight my arse. Bunce was just trying to get one of his employers boxers in the frame.

I don't take any notice of what he says - he's full of shit.

I think he's pretty clueless personally, great for hype and bluster but in terms of actual knowledge not so much.

He's not clueless - he knows exactly what he's saying, it's just a load of biased drivel these days.

no i mean clueless in terms of knowledge regarding boxing itself, he's not clueless in terms of knowing how to sell the public,etc. Should be a promoter himself!

I don't think he is clueless in terms of boxing knowledge, which is what makes it worse. I don't think he honestly believes the some of the shite he comes out with, he does it to arse lick his guvnor

Yeah but to be honest he's been doing this crap for years even before he was working on allegedly! He's the king of slagging certain fighters off when they arent in his company but as soon as he has them on the telephone or in the studio he kisses their backsides no end!

Bunce is good but should be ashamed of the shoes he was wearing Saturday night; we ought to have a whip round.

What I find particularly moronic is when he repeatedly goes on about Chad Dawson not selling tickets. I don't see what that has to do with his boxing.

It's as if he's using it to suggest why a fight with Nathan Cleverly fight won't happen. He knows full well Dawson would kick the shite out of Cleverley. He should leave all that bollocks to promoters, he just makes himself sound like a twat.

I cant believe Bunce is being called clueless about Boxing by Lefty! He is a lot of things, but he is certainly not clueless. I would call him a sell out and a yes man before clueless. He is a very knowledgeable Boxing man. The comments regarding Garcia and Bute were blatant digs at Sky and the other two blatant promotion of BN. I spoke to him at Calzaghe-Lacy and asked him if he was going to 'The Games', as the Commonwealth's were taking place down under shortly after. "Yes!" he laughed, "Channel 4, their paying!". It was the celebrity sports show with all the c-listers doing various sports. Bunce was the anchor.

Your a very confident guy. Do you go to may shows, am and pro? I get about a bit, could give you a shout if we're at the same one. You could even help me read a fight.
