BoxRec

Anyone watching the Bantamweight boxing on Eurosport...my apologies please!! I sent Steve Holdsworth a message asking to say hello to all the lads on the British forum at Boxrec who are watching all week....

Instead what i got was "Steve Wellings who runs the Boxrec site wants to say hello...you do a fantastic job with that site Steve"

Lol before i get told off, you all know me and i was mis-quoted....just to clear that up 8)

Holdsworth never quite gets it right.

Yeah i sent him an e mail to clear things up and he said before one of the other fights "Cheers for clearing that up Steve, Steve just wants to say hello to all his lads at the British Forum in fact"...ahh i suppose that will have to do

Holdsworth comes out with some right shite.

With nearly 4000 you may as well say you run the site

True enough, lol....at least i got my name and location mentioned on TV i suppose...that's a result. I thought knowing my luck they would switch to the men's ice skating first round or something just as it was being read out...they seem to be developing a habit for cutting into the Boxing at inopportune moments :x

This Steve Holdsworth guy on eurosport is the worst commentator on ANY sport EVER. Bar none. He more of less says the same thing every fight, he's a really boring bastard. He should just shut his mouth when he has nothing to talk about, not start talking shite. A picture speaks a thousand words and all that, maybe someone should remind him of that

For God's sake, GET OFF THE FENCE! 8)

Steve H is a top geezer!

Ian 'Mr' McNeilly

For God's sake, GET OFF THE FENCE!

Very funny

Steve Holsworth is right funny at times, he goes off on a tangent and spins his yarns; makes me laugh but I am often left wondering how he gets away with saying half the stuff he comes out with.... "boring bastard" DK2112? NEVER!

Holdsworth's observations are fine; it's his monotonous voice which makes Steve Davis sound like Jonothan Pearce that gets me.

I actually prefer listening to the BBC team on the amateur boxing. Woodhall talks a lot of sense, and Niely ain't half as bad as he is commentating on the pros.

i dont see why everyone's watching it on Eurosport. You can watch every single bout live on BBC interactive.

Agreed, I've really enjoyed the BBC's coverage so far particularly Richie Woodall, seems much more credible when not stood next to John Inverdale.

The BBC coverage has been excellent . They are going to show every bout it seems on Digital .
Steve Holdsworth can be ok , there's something likeable about him . But he's embarrassing sometimes , like when he didn't know they'd changed the stoppage rule from 15 points to 20 .
It must be hard work though doing all the bouts on his own . Remember in Atlanta he had that American guy Jim Brady with him , they were really good .

Is that the Jim Brady who writes for Boxing News by any chance?

I still not a fan of Neilly, still states the obvious far too much (scoring shot there - when you can see it on the screen). Maybe I'm being picky.

I thought they were well bias on the Khan fight, when the Greek was geniunally doing well they seemed to be focusing on "dodgy scoring". I thought the scoring was fair myself. Did they mention the obvious mistakes Khan was making?
