Who Should Be Sky's Main Commentator?

richard mossley · 02-09-2013, 06:01 PM

Nick Halling or Adam Smith?

dftaylor · 02-09-2013, 06:21 PM

Neither, both are utterly awful at their primary job - calling the fight accurately and helping the audience understand what's going on.

USA Rob · 02-09-2013, 06:31 PM

Ian Darke is the man.

Feel sorry for Halling they stick him with Jim Watt. They need to get Woodhall as the co-commentator.

If your holding a gun to my head...

I'd say shoot me..

UP93 · 02-09-2013, 06:34 PM

Silence>>>>>>>>Question time>>>>>>>>>>Smith>>>>>>>>Hailing.

They're both awful at what they do.

EDIT: Ian Darke is seriously overrated but i'd love him to be the regular commentator over either of the other 2.

Darke or lure rawling from BN with a lucrative offer

accers14 · 02-09-2013, 06:41 PM

Can't be doing with Nick Halling, misses a lot of the action going on about something which happened a minute ago.

Darke is the man. I don't mind Rawling but I doubt Sky would let him freelance.

AndyPaterson · 02-09-2013, 06:51 PM

Halling is fucking awful, I almost threw my glass at the telly listening to that mongtard.

badlefthook84 · 02-09-2013, 06:54 PM

Anybody not named Nick Halling really. On a sidenote, if Hearn can't fork out the money to get a good MC (Ie. Buffer or Lennon jr ) for a fight the magnitude of Froch-Kessler then he is a cheap fucker. McDonnell shouts, everything!...a good MC is important don't care what anyone says. Its fight night, LIIIIIIIIVE !!! Painful.

Jim Watt is pissing me off now. He slated Andy Lee and Frampton and it was like he managed the guys, boxing's version of Alex Ferguson!

I Shot JR · 02-09-2013, 07:10 PM

Jim Watt needs to go to be a pundit on Ringside. Get Audley Harrison in if the cards in the US as he talks a good game and is likeable (if he cans the World Champion talk).

Darke or Smith. British boxing is crying out for fresh commentary blood though.

Ian Darke by a country mile.
