    What has happened to Buncy? I never really bought into the whole “he says whatever he thinks" line, but his analysis has dropped to ridiculously low levels.

    On Boxnation on Saturday he said Enzo Macrenelli would be in most people’s top 3 fighters for excitement. And then his justification of Cheverly’s opponent was cringe worthy.

    You can be a good pundit, without trying to con the public into believing something you are not.

    Look at Barry McGuigan. For me, he is one of the best pundits out there. Although he works for Sky he still manages to get his points across (pro or negative) in a sensible, and well thought out manner.

    Everyone’s got to serve somebody (Bob Dylan), so if Bunce needs to be pro Warr$n, so be it. Just stop feeding us your propaganda bull**** because we can see through it.

    I want to like Buncy, and it some sections i do. His work for BoxNation however has allot to be desired.

    He loves Enzo and bigs him up so what, most people know he doesnt mean it hes just giving confidence etc.

    Bob Dylan oh christ not you aswell, **** dont sing he just talks and plays very dodgy guitar.

    No wonder you have issues!

    If Buncy was to switch to Sky his views would change... I just never know whether to beleive what he is saying.

    Thats not ideal.

    Bunce tows the line more than any other pundit but loves to brag about how he doesn't. and his william hill podcast is so predictable.

    Sky pundits give proper analysis they don't hype people up after a bad performance.

    Sky pundits dont know the fighters as well as Buncey, Bunceys knew the main part of the fighters coming through the ranks etc, so its harder for Buncey to be impartial all of the time....

    Imagine it for yourself.

    I'd say McGuigan is the only non-waffler at Sky.

    The others are just as bad as Buncey is at times.

    Nelson and Piper talk as much **** as anyone. Lets not be holding Sky up as the ideal to aspire to.

    I watched the North American version on "Epix" tv.They correctly referred to this "fight" as a sparring session.This is correct-it was horrid to watch.:tired

    To me its not a matter of having to believe him, just be aware of the Warran/ Boxnation/ Bunce connection when you are assessing certain things he says.

    Couldn't care either way for any pundit. I've always formed my own opinion and if I don't like what a pundit is saying it's neither here nor there.
