He looked like he had a hot chip in his mouth when he was talking to Floyd.

Everyone I imagine.... Smith and the robotic Robinson are possibly the worst sports presenters ever.

I really like Ed Robinson, adds a different dimension to Sky Boxing.

Someone you can guarantee will not slip up with his knowledge, and I think is in place to reach out to the more 'hardcore' fan.

love is better than hate

So annoying. I feel he puts that voice on. It just doesn't suit his look.

I bet Adam Smith takes a transformers lunch box to work with him, gets his pocket money stolen by Froch and gets swirled by Nelson in the toilets and then cried to his mum about his day...

I cant stand him,hate the way he starts going on about fights from the past halfway through a fight that has nothing in common with the fight from the past,he is a blurt

Leave Adam alone, he's alright

Or a hot cock?

I agree Adam Smith is the most annoying man ever
He reminds of a parrot with that ridiculous pursed look he has when interviewing people. He knows absolutely sweet FA and states the obvious. He has definitely had one too many hot sausages in his mouth which is why he has that silly pout.

The best bit was when he shat himself when Chisora threw that table in his direction. He pathetically tried to stop any further commotion.

The only way to redeem himself is to:
1) white collar boxing match
2) never commentate again ever
3) stop brown nosing
4) stop doing that silly trout pout

Did Adam Smith essentially hire himself as Sky's primary boxing commentator?

Adam has the dream job, I'm sure he's not worried about us lot.

I think ive got a soft spot for Adam because I read his book on holiday and really enjoyed it, I like the fact that he's a bit posh but has fallen in love with a sport which is a million miles from what he grew up like, his book had some good stories


Sorry if that sounds a bit gay

He's awful. Knowledge is not enough - as a presenter you need presenting skills, not talk like uncle Paulie's robot in Rocky 4. And sky sports is not for the hardcore fan anyway, more the casual.

Ed Robinson is top quality

The trouble with modern day sports presenters is they're all style and no substance. Ed brings gravitas, knowledge and passion to the role. His delivery style may be low key but that's what most people want, not the screeching, vacuous, fish out of water horror show delivered by that bint on Saturday night.

Who was it?

Don't know her name. First saw her on the DeGale v Jack show and thought she must be a stand in while Ed was away.

She's fvcking appalling.

Smith is a bit of a strange one isn't he

Wasn't this one was it?

Anna Woolhouse was the presenter who covered Jack-Degale and Frampton-Santa Cruz, who I think did a perfectly okay job considering she was almost certainly a late replacement. She wasn't there to provide the insight; Paul Smith, Darren Barker, Johnny Nelson, and Spencer Oliver were, so lets cut her some slack.

Charlie Webster did / does a lot of the allegedly stuff, and I believe she is a boxing fan and if her Wiki is correct she boxes at Lynn ABC.

Lets not forget that people moaned for years about Halling and Watt commentating, who have now been replaced. P Smith, Macklin, Froch, Moore and Haye are all great as co commentators but you do need the lead commentator to do the play by play action. It's a tough job, and whilst I'm not a massive fan of Adam Smith doing it, there can only be so many out there that can.

adam smith is the fresh meat on the wing, getting bummed by the big black lads just so he says he knows them when he is sat with the other twerps at association. i just get the sense he is a twisted pervert, living out some homoerotic fantasy which was probably drilled into his derriere at public school.

ed robinson is just paint drying, zero charisma with a puppy yelping voice that is constantly seeking approval.

sky have been poor since adam dempsey left, really poor.

Sky have clearly decided to add some "glamour" to their boxing coverage. Firstly we had that blonde piece presenting the PPV shows before Christmas and now we've got this Anna woman.

If I want glamour I'll go to a strip club. When I'm watching sport I want a sensible, knowledgeable presenter who can steer the discussions in the right direction ie Ed Robinson or Paul Dempsey or Jim Rosenthal or Buncey.
