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.

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.
