BoxRec

Do you all know what I'm referring to? There's a new trend of this annoying sound that is now being played during the introduction of the boxers when they're in the ring. I believe it began during lockdown last year when the first boxing events started without a crowd and they've decided to keep it. I'm watching the Sky Sports card now and they're doing it. Why? It just sounds irritating. Anyone from Sky, if you're reading this... STOP.

Also stop the intro with the white rapper

Yeah it’s like having the Countdown clock interspersed with a Hans Zimmer-esq ‘Bwawm’ noise. Load of shit.

Also Jonny Nelson going into the changing rooms and bugging the fighters telling them to give their all and hang it all out there (just like he did against Deleon and Warring) then fist bumping them

I hate it. It's not a fúcking gameshow, it's a fight.

Mentioned this during one of the early bubble events saying it was a bit sudden and annoying but you can see why it was done since there was no crowd noise. Maybe they will phase it out when crowds get bigger again?

Another absurd gimmick to entertain the casuals, what next - women boxers weighing in in lingerie ?

I didn’t mind when they first did it. Empty arenas and all that.. but I didn’t think they’d continue.

Are DAZN still doing it or is it just a Sky thing?

Maybe it's me but I don't think Ebanie Bridges is all that.

I don't like that stuff. As well as national anthems and excessive firework / pyrotechnic sh!t like Eddeh loves to do.

Wait till its men weighing in wearing lingerie

Seems to be just sky doing it, bit naff but nothing major, what's more annoying is how BT shows always look like your watching through mist, u don't know what it is

My, urmm, cum-fassa involves a lot of screwing up of the eyes, like I've just survived an acid attack

Maybe not at that very moment !

And thanks, I can’t bling my mind’s eye now
