Credit where it's due. They were excellent last night.
I managed to navigate my way out of my peripheral vision straight to a replay of the full fight when I woke up - without spoilers! I never thought that would be possible! :clap:

They are consistently and reliably there for the biggest fights and it was a great show. Abel Sanchez sounded completely biased to me, but I thought Andy Lee offered thoughtful and articulate comment throughout - it was Lee that actually pointed out that Fury probably prevented some frustration tipping over into ugly scenes and a potential fracas breaking out, by taking the result gracefully and philosophically.

I thought it was excellent output and the main guy - not sure who he is, but I like his style. Excellent commentating job :clap: :clap: .

Some commentators - especially one plum on a rival station, I just cannot stand to listen to.

Today was the tensest and most excited I've been over a boxing match for some years. I shall be communicating as much to them too. Thanks BBC Radio 5Live. Great show - again! :box: :TU:

Yeah, I listened to it also and I really enjoyed the coverage and it seemed to reflect the round by rounds on here.

My only gripe was Andy Lee and Abel Sanchez just didn't seem to want to give Wilder any credit.... the 9 th KD round, when ask how they would score it - they kept harping on about how Fury's "got him".
