You gotta be kidding me? Since Warren left we've had a host of great domestic matches along with improved coverage of US action and even a couple of world title fights from Japan.

Sky is faultless right now with their boxing coverage.

Got to agree

Some good domestic matches have been made and we`re seeing more international fights instead of the predictable Warren stable padding out their records...thats got to be better

Definately an upturn I'd say as ITV are stuck with Warrens stinkers now... though next week looks like being an exception! I hope!!! :x

Totally the opposite if you ask me mate...is that you Boxingchat??!!

Wish they'd bring back Ringside, though. With all those channels there must be room for it somewhere in the schedules.

I think its improved, I'm glad to see the back of "WBU World Title Matches" and some very good British, Commonwealth and European fights in their place

I think its vast improved with the quality of domestic fighters overall and good US coverage as well.

No they'd rather show WWE Afterburn for the millionth time

I don't agree at all. I think the Boxing coverage has improved a lot over the last few months.

Yes, and it looks like with the less presure to get a bill everyweek the SN bills have improved also. ITV has had some criticisms, but on the whole I think it is encouraging. When ITV was last contracted with SN they wouldn't have shown fights like McNeil vs Duran.

Look at the SN proposed future bills over here, they are good cards.

The boxing coverage has been fantastic, maybe one or two more live US bills and maybe regional coverage could return (like HTV Wales showing Paul Boyce cards) then it would be perfect. It would be nice if (and I don't know if the can) ITV showed a little more than the Warren bills, cause although it is looking good - it is looking sporadic in the early part of 2006.

It seems with the new arrangements everyones a winner...especially the fans and viewers

Yes, and I hope ITV stick to the presentation of the Nelson bill, bore of a fight - but the best presentation yet.

Rawling and Collins, Duke just an analyst.

No Fighting talk.

Asking for Barry's opinon between rounds.

Jim Rosenthal asking excellent questions and showing some knowledge.

Good hype for Maccrinelli vs Nelson.

Excellent video previews.

In a studio (they had to be though).

Old Music.
