    Yeah that irritates me, especially on Sky Sports on the international cards after 2am.

    When fans say something completely ridiculous and end with “FACTS” to try and legitimize it. ​

    I don't like it when fans condone some sort of cheating with the Mike Tyson quote "**** it, it's a fight." as if that excuses any kind of action.

    "he's got to to bite down on his gumshield..."

    And I've got to mention the Channel 5 commentator (all four belts around the waist of one man guy), who constantly refers to rounds as "stanza" and says "volley of shots" instead of combinations.
    Drives me mad for some reason...:duh

    Every time I hear a naughty word from the trainer I'm poised to write an angry letter to the Queen until that apology cools my righteous indignation. So **** off.

    Each fighter should submit a 1000 word essay 'Why I want it more' and they can read them out and the audience can vote. No boxing required.

    Action is a bit slow...

    No. No, it isn't.
