What's the drill with this? I haven't seen it in a couple of weeks and it doesn't seem to be on tonight either? Were they having a break for the close season?

Buncey was in Rio covering the boxing for the BBC and is now on his holidays. Should be back next week.

Cheers Chad

Anyone any info on this? I've not seen it on in a good while now and can't find it on my listings when I go to record it.

no very rarely, right!

Bunce is doing the weigh in show tonight. Barry Jones told me the Boxing Hour returns in October. No idea why the delay.

Thanks again Chad Aye the delay is strange!

Does anyone pick up the "free to view" shows on B0x Nation via Freeview ?

cant be bothered anymore. His whole hysterical shouting and incredulous fat man in a suit about to explode act grates.......and his common chas and dave delivery makes boxing seem like a sport down the pub like darts used to be.......total ddickhead who needs to be replaced as well as lillis ......Alex Steedman could do the job along some of those young journos and wwarren should bring jim watt in free to say what he likes in the studio. Or as a third commentator. The king of british commentators was wasted in sky anyway

I tend to agree with Bricks.

I have no personal animosity toward Bunce, but he is becoming a bit of a dinosaur.

Incredulous fat man in a suit about to explode....that's a brilliant description of the delivery style.

It's a shame, I feel like Bunce has become a self caricature; but it's not going to change now. It's very hard on the ear the constant shouting and high pitched screeching almost at times.

Good on him! Think he’s earned it. I remember them Setanta gigs where he sat in front of the cameras for 12 hours using matchsticks to prop his eyelids open!

I do think that the production of allegedly, is a bit too rough and tumble, perhaps it's just a personal preference, but I wish the subject matter was treated with a bit more gravitas and reverence, it deserves to be treated with the same respect as other sports, rather than the slightly 'geezer in the boozer' presentation we get.

I'm a big fan of allegedly's coverage, but the style of the presentation gets on my nerves a bit. I'm sure not everyone feels that way, but that's my take on it.

Although a bit too shouty, I think that UFC's general style of presentation is excellent - it represents the product and the brand in a serious manner and is well informed.

Completely agree. It was the same on Setanta as well. Maybe it's just Bunceys style! Their delivery is all a bit Aldi!

I like Buncey but i did always prefer him on Setanta as Andy Kerr's wingman,maybe allegedly would be better if Rosenthal or Steedman presented and Buncey played the sidekick,at least that way he's good for an anecdote whenever a card is running off schedule,his personality is more suited to that rule,i'll give him his due though,it must be hard with no script and hours to fill in

Also when is Richard Keys returning to allegedly?

Hopefully never the horrible hairy handed prick.

Yeah I liked Andy Kerr as well mate. He presented a couple shows on ITV as well didn't he? Always seemed pretty knowledgable. Not sure about Keys. Him n Andy Gray are probably busy choking hookers.

I was going to write incredulous fat man with a failed hair transplant in a suit about to explode.......but that would be a little nasty!

I think you nailed it James , its the high pitched whining.....I cannae take anymore , maybe its me, and my ageing....but his dingy studio with its pink puke colour scheme also grates.......in fairness at least he isn't perched up on high stools like he has a stick up his arrse like that silly sod Adam Smith and Johhny Nelson used to be in the ringside studio.....

Yeah in fairness, he has had times where he has been brilliant filling in 3-4 hours and I think he would be a brilliant anecdotes man...I think they should try and push him into the british Harold lederman...as he gets older into his 60s and 70s....have him sitting in a old east end boozer....gassing away.......

But for now hes still young and just needs reigning in.
