For me Smith/Barker/Bellew awful, jones and Frampton more listenable but even they are turning! The talksport lot have completely changed their tune regards Benn and are now also seemingly onboard-likely because of the fear of being shut out otherwise From what I’ve seen from a “mainstream” media perspective there was only Dave Allen who was calling it out for what it was, probably won’t be asked back again There is no impartial unbiased views on any of these shows anymore, just prescripted bias propaganda, the game is well and truly sewn up!
Just watching the Talk Sport podcast with Simon Jordan, Spencer Oliver, Duke McKenzie and Paul Smith. Simon called out Adam Smith and Tony Bellew's commentary. Echo's what we've been saying for ages on here. 14:30 mins in This content is protected
Brilliant analysis from Dave Allen. If people like Smith and Bellew have seen this, they should hang their heads in shame. They have no integrity at all. They are either complete liars or know nothing about boxing. Dave Allen is a breath of fresh air and all he’s doing is being honest. One is a man, the other 2 are complete charlatans. Embarrassing.
Add Frampton to the list of liars and he knows boxing inside out as evidenced when he was analysing fights on TNT Sports. For example he did not hold back calling DDD a quitter when he took the knee. Even worse is Darren Barker criticising people for going into the ring knowing they should not be there when he done exactly that in his final fight in Germany back in 2013. The fans that travelled to support him not even a consideration and disliked him from that day. They all know what is unfolding in the ring but happy to take the money to follow and give scripted opinions.
Frampton was great on TNT but is slowly starting to turn. Chris Lloyd was great but ‘left’ after he asked some damning questions after Benn’s failed tests. Barry Jones is my favourite by far.
Adam Smith, and the people who have shoved him down our throats for so long, should have to pay some consequences for it. He has absolutely ruined boxing events in the UK for so many years now.
The constant talk about fighters back story and family is TOO MUCH. He never shuts up about boring **** we don't need to know.
At least Smith won't be commentating on the AJ v Fake Paul "fight" and simpering over the many celebs who will undoubtedly be in attendance.
