Anyone see the French Middlweight fight with Steve H getting the fighters the wrong way round for the duration.

Not criticising him but it was golden telly.

Better not the old man watch it, cause he hates Holdsworth's commentary.

Holdsworth; "We thought this was a six rounder but it might be a four"
Mee; "The crowd often applaud like that when the boxers start a round"
Holdsworth; "We'll know if it's a six rounder if they come out for the fifth"
Priceless

Holdsworth on eurosport is the boxing equivelant of watching a B movie - Plan nine from outer space maybe...zero budget, clueless production, no one knows what the hells going on & a cast of unknowns.

I don't think he ever used to be indecisive as he has been the past 12 months. An example of the thing that really gets my old man's goat up is (note I don't know if he has said this but its the type of thing he does say).

For a right hand happy authordox fighter.

"Well, he'd probably be better fighting as a Southpaw, or maybe he'd be best to stick as authodox".

Why bother saying it if he doesn't know or has no opinion on the matter.

I agree with MW in that it must be a difficult job with their budget etc, but some of I don't think you can blame the indecisiveness (such as the example above) on the production.
