    I quite like Boxnations presentation; low key, no cliche ridden drivel like you get on sky and HBO/Showtime and the guests at least try and give some proper tactical ****ysis rather than the usual casual fan detritious of, "Hes got power/a granite jaw".

    They missed a trick when Ringside got cancelled, could have put a free to air program in the same vein at the same slot and made a big noise about it. Get some proper broadcasters in too, someone like Ed Robinson would be huge for them - I reckon Buncey is much better as a pundit than main presenter

    I agree, they seem to have more leeway in given their actual thoughts on things. I can see why Buncey annoys people but I quite like him. It's nice to see someone so genuinely enthusiastic presenting the support.

    Charlie Webster I think is the woman they use who someone mentioned earlier incidentally.

    Last weekend was first time I saw it and it was awful. Woodhall and Lockett would struggle to make a night in the Playboy mansion sound fun.

    What ever you think of BoxNation team they are still a mile better than Sky.

    If BN were smart they'd have gone down the route TalkSport did when it tried to challenge the BBC and become a caricature of a channel that was loud, brash and bold and did its utmost to garner attention.

    Their content outside of international cards is shocking. It reeks of laziness and penny pinching.

    I think there are one or two tricks of the TV trade that boxnation could pick up on. The sound quality for live sporting events is key, as that is what leads to a sense of immersion for the viewer. Ambient noise is always too low on Boxnation, giving the impression that there is no atmosphere whatsoever at events. Which, even if a bit true, is not completely true. It does the channel a disservice.

    Doesn't Al call Southpaw fighters 'lefties' though? For some reason I find that annoying.

    Don't mind any of the boxnation team really except for Buncey, he does annoy me, talks endless amount of **** but other than that its okay, then for me Sky need to get rid of Watt and Halling and get Froch and Smith on more

    Buncey's show ought to be PPV-where Box Nation pays YOU to watch this garbage.

    Bunce - he's like marmite but he's fun.

    Barry Jones and Steve Lillis are 2 of the best imo.

    Plus they have Richie Woodhall, Gary Lockett on regurlarly who always talk well.

    Charlie Webster is nice on the eye ha
