itv 4 dream team

To be honest the one white and one black shoe was a puzzle for awhile so I was very interested in what he had to say. I just wish the Sky team would have spent more time on this issue. Audley obviously made the allegations that Britain was a racist society and wanted to make a point that black and white people could co-exist together in harmony so I felt the statement Audley made with his choice of shoe colour was a great landmark in British boxing and sporting history. Even the Barack Obama/Martin Luther King/ Wesley Snipes t-shirt carried less significance to me as a sport enthusiast. Hopefully with boundaries now broken in our society Audley can become a champion of the people and also become the greatest heavyweight champion this country has ever seen.

 

I wouldnt call it a dream team because of Barry Mcguigan he likes the sound of his own voice and if anyone has a different opinion he tries to belittle them like the time Thaxton said Fury was no way ready for Oliver McCall and Mcguigan did his best to make Thaxton feel uncomfortable on live TV, he's a tit.
With Thaxton packing it in i think he will make a great colour commentator or analyst and i do like Jim Rosenthal, Duke and Barker and Froch give good insight also. Hopefull Hennessy can do a late deal to get his shows back on ITV4 next year

 

When does the current Hennessy/ITV4 deal end?

 

Rosenthal and Barry leading from the front with Rawlings and Duke on the sidelines giving the blow by blow and good old Gabriel playing in the roaming position as he paces the stadium giving us gold.

ITV has a good set up but their marketing sucks. Cards like yesterday should be well marketed and the main event should be on ITV1. That was a British Title fight between a young gun and a veteran.

 

their team of barry, jim, john and duke is sound

but their overall production and presentation is shite it really annoys me when on the odd occassion they don' take a break inbetween rounds you can't hear what the **** the corners saying because either the commentators talk over it or the microphone is not close enough.

Having said that i wouldn't care about poor presentation though as long they continued to show boxing.

 

the deal with henny was for 2 years but they decided to end it a year early, so it ends at the end of the year, anything Henny puts on between now and december will be on ITV4, which is at the most a couple more shows, after that its all over. :verysad

 

McGuigan is a legend :thumbsup

 

Gabriel is hilarious, he'll just ask some of the most pointless and bizarre questions possible, like about a haircut or something, then midway through talking he'll just walk off somewhere else, just to get a shot of a fighter or something.

 

gabriel is funny as Scouse lad has mentioned wth his ridiculous interview technique

Duke McKenzie is worse than any of the Sky idiots (Apart from Watt that is)

 

Unfortuneatly that sort of fight is never going to displace Strictly Come Dancing/ Pop Idol/ X-Factor or whatever else crap they put on ITV1 these days.

Sad but true....

 

theres rumours that the deal will carry on next year as boxing is getting 10 times the regular number of viewers on itv4

 

Hope that turns out to be the case. ITV do boxing really well.....

 

Lets hope so....

 

i know they're getting good figures, so lets hope its true, dealing with fat mick must be a headache though.
