    Sky's boxing coverage last night reeked of desperation. Did you see the flash charts and graphs? We don't want to see that. One detailed the stats of the fight, like the one used for the football. The other showed the fluctuation of work rate. Come on. They are being too flash, glossy and pretentious. It is style over substance.

    Why did they only show two live fights? Robin Reid and John Ryder were on the under card. Surely these should have been shown live. More live action is needed. Nick Quigley's fight was a *******. However, Carl Frampton stunk the joint out.

    What were Adam Smith and Richie Woodhall doing ringside? They looked like two stockbrokers talking boxing in a Covent Garden pub.

    Yet people rip Boxnation to pieces.

    I'm nothing to do with Frank or Boxnation. I just feel a little short-changed by Sky's boxing coverage.

    Found it cringeworthy, i don't have a problem with them trying stuff. Personally not into all that stuff anyways but i wouldn't like them to keep it on.

    Is this thread for real? Compared to boxnation's poor production that looks like an 80's playback it's light years apart. I suppose you'd 'ave the boxers slugging it out in some spit and sawdust dive

    I want to see fights not glitz and tinsel.

    When Boxnation cover a fight from York Hall it feels raw, gritty and exciting. I like that.
