John Rawling on Souleymane M'baye Fight.

"Mandatory challenges you never know what they are like" - Even though they had already thought!

Jim Rosenthal after the Mitchell fight.

"This place is still buzzing" - People have been yawning and talking for 2 hours.

Any more?

Two classic ones in the last fight.

Duke McKenzie "That cut will not impair his vision".

Jim Rosenthal "Credit to Micky Vann for letting the fight go one".... To be fair, I know Jim was refering to the awful cut affecting Simpson - but Vann bottled it - Matthews should have been DQ'd.

McKenzie automatically assuming that if a point is deducted for a foul it makes it a 10-8 round. The 6th I made a 10-9 round for Simpson and the 9th a 9-9 round.

He really has to go.... John Rawling was excellent today I thought, but Duke was appauling. I noticed that - although I did think Simpson won the rounds. But he does it every time.

I didn't know what he was on about. "John, he reminds me of Lectus" - ?? That was his 1st attempt at it.

Aye I was thinking how the hell can he give Simpson 10- 8 rounds other than the knockdown?

Maybe he was thinking of a Lexus car? Consistent, reliable, technically pretty good and boring

I miss Jim Neilly.

"He lost the fight controversially but worthily"

"He was looking really impressive until he was knocked out in the first round"

Of course we can't forget Duke's BBC classic "Yes Jim he really is a world class container"

Oh yes, sometimes his ITV commentary looks better next to his BBC ones.

"Jim, Jim this could be the greatest upset in the history of boxing". - said on many occasions - Mayorga vs Forrest 1, RJJ vs Tarver 1 to name but a few.

"Jim,Jim, this could be the greatest comeback in the history of boxing" - when Clinton Woods momentarily hurts Johnson in the final round of their first meating.
