Sky again!!!!

Sky's coverage as usual was awful. Any new fan watching last night would'nt have understood all the things Pac and Cotto have achieved in the past and how much this fight means in terms of boxing history. Would it really have been that difficult for Sky to cover both fighters careers from the beginning with highlights of their past fights etc etc. ??

Also, as usual the studio ''experts'' were dreadfully, dreadfully dull, it's beeen along time since I've watched a fight on Sky and felt at all interested in what the studio panel are saying, so, so dull, Piper, McCrory and the presenter are simply going through the motions, Johnny Nelson is OK and I feel if he had better people to talk to he would be very good.
Dream panel - Steve Bunce, Duke McKenzie, Barry Mcguigan and Johnny Nelson.

 

Still questioning Cotto's heart Mcrory you ****ing *****?

It badly needs freshing up, the coverage is crap.

 

They seemed in a hurry to go to bed after the fight ended. No post fight interviews, no nothing. 5 minutes of saying how they predicted this and how amazing it was, and then it was all over.

 

They should sack the racist.

 

Thought Sky were superb last night. The fights on Sky are coming thick and fast - every weekend.

 

''Believe you me that right hand straight down the pipe made his legs have gone but he took it, Jim''

 

My mate whos not a big boxing fan just assumed Cotto was a nobody simply because he got very little mention at all in the build up to this fight.

 

You're right. It's a little churlish to complain about the pundits, who really gives a ****? At least they're showing the fights.

 

I give a ****. They're representing boxing and it seems every week one of them or the whole board are biased and can't even score the fights correctly because of it.

Casual fans who tune into watch friday fight night are watching this and need the commentators to inform the fans whats actually going on, if the fighters are actually any good, if its a mis-match or not giving enough credit to fighters like last night. Little was said on Cotto and I think the fans watching might not of understood how good he actually he is and just banging on about pac from start too finish. Last week Jim Watt and his issues with Haye. Thats just in the last two weeks every friday night they seem to be getting worse.

I can see them turning many casual fans off watching again. The whole board needs replacing with a younger group IMO.

 

Don't you think it's just a problem with sport coverage in general though? We're subjected to droves of amateur experts everyday in all sports. Of course it would be better if we had Woodhall and Bunce on, but it's not realistic at the moment.

How many people do you think were even listening to those boring ****s at that time of the morning? I know I wasn't.

 

To be honest with you, I'm just happy they are showing these major fights, I agree lets not complain over little things like this, would you rather not watch the fights then and have to search for shitty stream (don't ban me!).

 

I agree with dan-b.

 

jim watt is the only sky team member i dislike. he really loves to hear his own jock voice. talks **** for the sake of talking ****

 

it really needs a refresh.

adam smith is the only good thing about there coverage along with ian darke. i also like johnny nelson.

why the **** would your 3 pundits all be former cruiserweights!!!

the team needs to be;
