    sorry to be miserable after watching such a performance, but i thought the commentators were talking like they had never watched mosely fight before, they were surprised he came out banging, i would have been surprised if he didn't come out banging. i dont normally get annoyed with the setanta commentary, this took the mick.

    No, I thought they were okay. I enjoy HBO a lot more but I have no complaints tonight.

    I aint gonna complain but the sound level's etc regarding the ringwalk's at time's were coming in and out, high and low etc Not sure if this is regular with Setanta. I guess it has more to do with the source aye ?

    Commentary was certainly different as i said above i am not used to Setanta but i would of given it a 5/10,the main concern was tet the sound output, monitoring again.

    Am i complaining or asking ? :yep

    Cheers

    They were ok tonight. I can barely hear the commentary on a fight as good as that cause I'm constantly shouting '%^$& me at the screen anyway

    I didn't mind it, I try and tune it out anyway. You shouldn't complain, imagine if you had McKenzie and Rawling doing it, or bloody Richie Woodhall. Ian Darke is the only decent commentator over here, Setanta should nick him

    I don't have a problem with the comms. All I have an issue with is the shite picture and constant freezing/breaking on the coverage. I get it during every live event, whether boxing, footy or UFC. It's terrible. You'd never get that unreliability with Sky.

    I wonder how many times he would have said "he's gone" in last nights fight? I think he would have blown his old record out of the water.

    I didn't have any problems with the picture but the Top Rank commentators do get on my nerves.

    YES! Oh my god, I just went into the Brit forum to post the same topic, then realised it was my twin than posted it, alright ed... I just prefer the HBO crew (apart from the compubox reports every round), they are characters.
