Do they think it's only casual fans watching who will believe everything they say, Watt and Halling were more cheerleaders than commentators

Crap commentary tonight, really disappointing to be honest.... More than just the actual scoring was the derogatory tone and attitude they had towards Chilemba. Sure his workrate was fairly low but he was boxing Bellews ears off at times and instead of getting acknowledged it was just being ignored or summed up as 'awkward' or 'difficult customer' and all those type of phrases that imply the guy is a spoiler when actually he was much the cleaner boxer, he just didn't put his foot on the gas early enough to secure the decision. (I still had it 115-113 Chilemba)

Watt, as an ex boxer, is simply awful.

I have to turn the commentary off to preserve my sanity.

I enjoyed playing Jim Watt catchprase bingo :)

I've said it before, and will say it again:

Watch these commentators with some mates who aren't British.

It's shockingly embarrassing.

"ohbeauuuuuuuutifulshot!"

Yes shocking commentory. I thought Chilemba edged it. I couldnt believe the way they carried on.

Ive gotta say that out of all the commentators in Britain and Worldwide,I agree with Jim Watt the most but tonight i think he had the same glasses on he was wearing when he watched David Haye/Nikolai Valuev,not one of his better nights,we all have them AND yes i am Scottish

Yep piss poor... Jim Watt has always been the same.

I'm old enough to remember Jim as a great fighter.

He is a terrible commentator, but tonight was a new low.

Hate to agree with the consensus, but I agree totally.

It was beyond biased.

I preferred Ed Robinson and Glenn on the red button

It's OK, switch over to allegedly now and you can see Statler & Waldorf.

jim watt should not have a job

his scorecards are never correct and he is awful at his job

retire him

Not sure about the rest but I have noticed of late that his scorecards are often off the mark. Which I suppose calls into question what he's watching.

This was oddly true, how can the "B team" be THAT much better than the "A team"? Ed was fantastic.

Sky plus only went to round 9 of bellew too. Not happy!

Halling & Watt really need to go and I haven't even listned to last nights effort yet. Darke & smigga i'd like to see.
