    Ian Darke paired well with both Watt or McCrory imo.

    Dempsey and the wee fella back in the studio......good times.

    Oh outside of the occasional Gary Mason appearance.

    I get the business idea that Joshua is a brand......he sells to the casuals.

    However anyone with real boxing knowledge must get so frustrated.....

    Sky boxing is a complete joke and not worth the money or time.

    What's the deal with getting a fighters pal on to commentate when fighting? Won't start on Paul smith.

    You expect sky to be biased towards their own fighters and that's fine, but there's biased And then there's sky's complete lies and bollocks aimed at the casuals casual.

    Tony bellew is an utter **** of a man. I was rooting for him to beat Makabu but since the Haye fight he's turned into a money grabbing egotistical wank stain. Always trying to play the man of the people card but always letting the at mask slip these days.

    All Broadcasters are biased, but sky does take the cake. Having said that, the single worse peace of commentary was Hughie vs Parker. Barry Jones was awful that night.

    Bellew shouting instructions while commentating on AJ was farcical.

    Paul Dempseys interview with Haye post Demori was dreadful and I'm not surprised Haye didn't want him back.

    What was wrong with Paul Dempsey's interview? He was right to tell Haye not to get carried on after Haye decided to crow about how no heavyweight could possibily withstand his power after knocking out a fighter who learnt how to box on youtube.

    it would have been sickening had he brown nosed Haye and gushed over his ridiculous victory over a down and out.

    I thought it was brilliant and refreshing for a pundit to challenge someone so smug, so insincere, so conceited that they head is so far up their own behind they can't even hear how much bs they are spewing.

    Just listen to how cringe worthy David sounds.

    No need for a 10 minute long interview in the ring asking loads of questions not related to the fight itself.

    Whole heartedly agree with you on your points Haye absolutely loves himself and talks complete and utter bollocks.

    Why do Sky have an exclusivity deal with Matchroom?

    They just do. It'll all change when AJ finally starts his own promotions firm.

    Oh yes. Only a matter of time before this happens. When it does, Hearn will vanish into obscurity.

    probably could be a case for referring sky and matchroom to the competition watchdog
