Barker and Lloyd were always a shoe in and I'm glad, they've been a great duo and enjoyed the part they've played during the numerous "bubbles" Maya Jama........... go on Eddie son ! Costello is superb Good line up
Don't know why Eddie had to put Bellew in and just ruin the whole thing. Why doesn't he just be honest with Bellew and say "Tony. No one fackin likes you anywhere so clear off once and for all". I just don't get why Eddie is still humouring him after all these years and making him think that he's well liked in boxing circles and the wider boxing community. Why would Eddie think this is a good idea. Bellew's whole whiney monotone depressing dull voice, boring the life out of everyone watching, is what we'll all have to put up with now. There's me thinking Eddie wants the cream of the crop as his broadcast team. How wrong was I?
Costello is fantastic news, I am just surprised there is no no black lesbian disabled single parent anywhere to be seen that could have ticked 5 boxes for the price of one to keep the PC brigade quiet.
There's more star power and charisma in the pundits/presenters lineup than in the actual boxing talent and that's the problem Eddie has on his hands which is going to become ever more apparent once this enterprise gets up and running Bellew appeals to the casuals, twitter cheerleaders and sweet charlie line brigade types. He's a fake, loudmouth twat who doesn't think before he speaks - the casuals can relate to those personality traits
I don’t find Bellew particularly persuasive, I find him insincere, predictable and uncharismatic. Maybe the casual audience like him.
Yeah hope there's the same emphasis on building a stronger pool of fighters coz its thin and lacking quality imo.
Hearn's probably having a go on that Maya Jama, seems like a real out of the blue pick otherwise. Also, anyone who uses the term gammon as an insult is a nonce. Fact.
