im phucking watching it on MUTE, theres no way duke mckenzie is ruining another fight for me

I second that! I was willing to give Rawling and McKenzie the benefit of the doubt at first as they were a new team but to be honest they actually get worse with each broadcast.

SORT IT OUT ITV!

yeah I agree, Duke is REALLY annoying to listen to. I've been quietly hoping he'd improve over the years........but no.

I think he could do this for 100 years and still be churning out the same tired old cliches.

Barry wasn't very good as a commentator before, though I do think he is under used - maybe every 3rd round he should state his opinion.

There are other options, Bob Mee, although not sure what the chemistry will be like with Rawling, as both seem to like to talk. Others aswell, Spencer Oliver, Richie Woodhall, Steve Collins - all have been excellent in the role before.

Probably should be on previous thread, that had more queries than answers, but what is Mason doing these days?

Get Bob Mee on there, he's the best and most informed co-commentator on the TV,

Draft in Derek Williams, he is always articulate, insightful and extremely coherent...oh and he knows Lennox Lewis.

How about 'eazy' Prince Naseem?

all we seem to hear from duke is how good khans opponents are and how good their past oppostion have been, that goes for barry mcguigan too. oh and "HE'S GONE"... my goodness that phrase in his voice annoys me (mckenzie)

I admit it probably will be better on mute, alot of thing they say it utter shite, but hey you dont have to take it in, just laugh

I have to agree about the current commentary team. They were disgraceful during the Woods - Johnson fight, having it even at half way. Really spoiled my ongoing assessment of the fight because I was so outraged that ex world champs couldn't appraise the fight honestly at that point.

Just hope that Duke and Barry look at this forum and take note. Isolating your bread and butter audience does little for feedback or improved ratings, leading inevitably to t.v. producers pulling the plug.

er, plenty of ppl had Woods winning & that meant they gave him 2,3 and 7. you don't have to be dishonest to interpret it that way. why would the plug be pulled? it's the 3rd worthy fight that Warren has put on.

Just be thankful that we can watch big time boxing, free to air on terrestrial tv again.

i propose we all watch this in mute, and then put our own scores up, for instance, 120 - 102 Calzaghe v Bika

Yeah, Glenn has done a few of the earlier BBC fights (when Robin Reid was shown) - he was good.

Johnny does some of the Sky undercard fights, he's pretty good also.
