    I'll not be responsible for my actions :twisted:

    1. It's ****ing 4am, the kids are in bed
    2. You are watching men punch each other in the face

    :-(

    Also.......

    1. Why were they in such a rush to get off air at 5.30?
    2. Is Adam Smith gay/stupid/just an all round **** (or a combo of <----- ?)
    3. It's not a crime to call a fight impartially

    Rant over :good

    Agree with both of your posts.

    What ever happened to Ian Darke interviewing the fighters in the ring, or at least allowing us to hear both fighters views on the fight.

    Its happening all the time now.

    That was annoying but hearing Jim Watt start giving Mayweather a rim job after the first minute of the first round when nothing had happened and if anything Mosely had done slightly more was worse. "Oh he's struggling with the speed already". Nothing had happened.

    Mosley then has Mayweather all over the shop in the second and is a huge Mosley round and because Mayweather surives and by the last 30 seconds looked fine again, he starts with "Mayeather already bossing it again" or something similar."

    I was watching it with a mate who doesn't watch much boxing other than the big fights and he couldn't believe Watt. I explained that it was nothing new, but **** me it is annoying.

    From round 3 onwards it was a masterclass, but commentate on what is actually happening and what you've seen not what you expect to happen and not just a ****ing bumming fest for the guy you admire most.

    Can't wait to see Mayweather Vs Pac i fully expect Watt & Darke to come to blows over it. It will probably be the best commentary those two have ever done

    I had it 119-109...:yep

    With the exception of Round 2 to SSM it was a shut out...:bbb

    I think that they should have a rider at the start of the programme to say at some point there maybe language that may offend...:yep

    However, the long and short of it is that Sky will never want to encourage anyone to switch channels or turn off the TV...:yep

    Some Sky shows start before the 9pm watershed and we have to respect the views of others who may have just turned over by chance. As true boxing fans we must respect the views of others, just as we would expect them to respect our sport...:yep

    If they dont then that is not our problem, it is their problem...:good

    I'd prefer if Sky just used the American feed, saving money so they could screen more shows from the US.

    Give Adam Smith £2000 to emigrate somewhere very far away.

    To be fair, it was a technical error that cut the interview short.

    My two seem to think that's the time to get up! Little f*****s@!

    Think new commentators are needed for Sky now too. They have enough money to get rid of Jim What?? and Glen Constipated McCrory.

    The problem is who comes in?

    Yes though you are right, 2 fellas are smacking **** out of each other in the ring of course there is going to be colourful language.

    :lol: :lol:

    Yeah totally...:good

    I just think whatever sport that people are into or whatever values other people have in life that we should respect them.

    I could not sit and watch Golf, Fishing or many of the other sports that people watch on Sky Sports, but I would never slag them off because I could sit and watch boxing all day long everyday of the week, which I guess would have them board after 3 minutes of 1 round I guess...:yep

    If people live there lives where they dont swear or use industrious language then they are quite entitled to voice their opinion and the commentators are only respecting that fact with the etiquette of TV and what there broadcaster wants them to do, it contractual, nothing more, nothing less...:yep

    I love boxing for the discipline, respect and values that it brings and I respect the values and thoughts of others too...:thumbsup

    Each to their own I guess...:deal

    What time does the ****ing fishing start tonight...:think....:lol:

    Do people just sit around and look for reasons to have a moan? You'd all be moaning if it wasn't on TV in the first place!:lol: I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you, Sky- more of the same, please:thumbsup:.

    I stayed up all night for the fight, not the interviews. It's slightly annoying, but still much, much better than sitting on the PC at silly O'Clock in the morning on a shitty stream. I've just found the interviews elsewere so it's not a big drama. I'm just happy I got to see the fight live on a channel I pay for.
