    The commentary was dreadful during the Price fight, they actually said AJ and Parker can no longer avoid Povetkin and he was awful!

    They didn't call a povetkin punch until that 3rd round KD.

    Always brining up.the drugs thing too at every opportunity. Where was all the drugs talk last week??

    Nelson said price was just unlucky! Wtf he got outclassed!

    Povetkin was in bad trouble at one point though!

    I’ve just had to mute it. I like AJ, but Froch and Smiths arselicking is nauseating.

    Parker's getting closer. They don't seem to be noticing this.

    Yeah, fair play to Adam Smith. He's not sugarcoating the ref's obvious zealousness.

    Parker seems content to lose a decision. Where are the explosive bursts. This is a done deal.

    Yeah Parker just wanted to hear the bell near the end, he was content to survive.

    What about been able to hear Bellew screaming to price from outside the ring and totally bias when talking about it before the fight I mean no class at all

    Just awful, bias, nonsensical crap by Smith and Froch.

    From completely ignoring any of Parker's shots to interviewing Joshua's promoter mid match. An 'analysis' made up of Matchroom boxers and a former Matchroom boxer on colour commentary.

    Dreadful. But not surprising.

    I thought commentary was very poor. AJs jab was good and he won the fight but in my humble opinion by nowhere near the scores. At end of 5 I think when Parker dominated the round Froch said Parkers punches are getting nearer to Joshua in that round, what he should have said was he dominated round and landed many shots on Joshua.
