Also on toe 2 toe you're getting spencer fearon talking about a fight that he admits he caught a couple of rounds of on YouTube. Fix up sky, you're paying your pundits to be erm pundits.

Most of the show is a Matchroom advert with Johnny and Adam getting giddy over the same old jokes every week. The guests that don't seem to 'go with the matchroom flow' or aren't involved in 'the circle' are very few and far between, but that is to be expected I guess.

The only parts of the show I find interesting are Ed Robinson's and Andy Scott's segments. Johnny getting in the ring and messing about is more comical than anything else.

It made me laugh when they stated this week, think it was Adam, 'what a couple of weeks we've had in boxing!'... Yes, and not one fight was shown on Sky Sports!

I'd favour slimming ringside down to a 30 minute segment, getting rid of Adam and Johnny (paying for their jollies) and actually broadcasting some 'live' boxing every week. Some great little cards they could pick up such as the Golden Boy card this Monday gone and the one on April 3rd that was a HW show, also the Kovalev fight wasn't picked up by any UK broadcaster.

I want live boxing, not Johnny bumbling over lines and Adam's schoolboy excitement over fights they won't even broadcast or poor matchroom mis-matches hailed as the next monster card such as Manchester!

When Smith, Nelson & DeGale all couldn't work out which Dirrell brother was in the Top 10 rankings, I was genuinely shocked, definitely a new low for Ringside. 2 full-time pundits can have no excuse for this lack of basic knowledge of the current scene.

Say what you will about Buncey, but there's no denying he knows his stuff.

Smith is a gormless clown and Johnny is clearly in the wrong role as Smiths hapless sidekick

The guests they have on are just as bad, made worse by just how awkward Adam and Johnny are. It's a reflection of just how terrible Adam Smith is in the job: he should be fired

When you look at the production values and studio pundits that Sky have on their other sports shows, such as tennis & golf for instance, it hits home just how rock bottom bad their boxing shows are.

God awful is an understatement

I watched it again just to look at the faces of Nelson and his sidekick, they showed no reaction on their faces at all and slip of the tongue for Oliver would be one word not a whole sentence, It is hard to watch Buncey anymore, his jokes become a bore after a while, plus he has got so biased towards Warrens fighters, whilst Sky are biased towards Matchroom fighters, it's like Labour and conservatives, too political now, Buncey invites anyone on his show, I am expecting his local milkman next, whilst it very predictable with Sky, Trish Dixon magazine editor, Eddie and his fighters and Oliver, wait for it, for his expert knowledge, plus on both programs the decorating is horrid, it's like watching cartoons..

Did you not see the Milkmen wars on tv, it was like drug wars over turf, yes they do but cheap milk at supermarkets have made it difficult for them, but yes Buncey invites anyone, that he can use as a sidekick for his stand up.
