Sir Darke the King of Sky

Quality

 

yeah darke seemed in a rather sarcastic mood last night, was funny

 

There must be a link to this somewhere.

 

Got something lined up with Sky have we Buncey ?

 

Yes Sir Ian is tops for me,speaks as he finds & see's with all honesty unlike the majority of Yank commentators (past/present) who are more interested in hearing themselves & always appear/sound scripted.

 

Ian Darke is always brilliant and last night he was no different. As an aside, I actually quite enjoyed seeing Smith as the anchor as well; Sky should just replace Dave Darts with Smith. About the only positives any of those, like myself, got from staying up all night to watch the debacle live:-(.

 

Ian Darke is brilliant by miles the best part of Sky's coverage. But he shows Sky coverage and ethos all in one a brilliant commentator that is supposed to specialise in Boxing has now been pushed into Football as his main coverage (mainly for League 1 games between the likes of Oldham-Leyton Orient) because he is a good commentator even for a sport that he doesn't specialise in and Sky live off Football love and as long as the nation likes that and nothing else they know they will dominate the sport broadcasting business now he only commentates on Boxing sparingly even though that is his specialist sport. I'm sorry but I really dislike Sky and their coverage of Boxing is terrible no wonder the sport struggles to bring in new fans.

 

Darke is best for boxing and football. how can they score a 4th round that lasted 40 secs.

 

Darke is quality.

Smith and Watt=****s

 

Darke is clearly the best we have at Sky, and I also like Watt being in the studio as well rather than commentating.

As an aside, were Darke and Nelson actually at the fight? I'm sure Darke was commentating on the Blackpool match earlier in the day :think

 

I wish wee barry would get a role back on the tv, the guy is a great analyst of teh game and should be given a role.

 

Why do sky always pick up the **** fights?

 

Ian Darke is the best British boxing commentator by a long shot. He was on top form last night.

 

Good spot mate. You've just busted them.
