Felt sorry for thaim it was obvious he was looking for a way out when he realised he was never going to land anything on lee. Brian peters will never get barker to limerick but its the best route for lee right now. Take it handy lee! let macklin and duddy go 1st with their age and by then you will ready! Bernard was also very good tonight.
Dunne is a very entertaining analyst - he just says it - no bullshitting. He was the same when he did the analysis of the boxing in the last Olympics. Rock is good too - in fact RTE **** all over Sky when it comes to the panelist:good
Perez looked to be sucking for breath in his second fight - didnt look in great condition. The stoppage looked very soft too (his second fight).
Dunne is very good. A rare combination of articulacy and experience. The rest of the panel are less impressive but still generally better than most of the halfwits on Sky. However the commentary, my ****ing God the commentary. I find myself watching the fights on mute because the in fight commentary is so dreadful. It's actively distracting to have a ****ing idiot babble drivel at you during a fight.
Showbox a la Jimmy Lennon Jnr "its Showtime!!!" HBO a la Mickey Buffer "lets get readddddddy to rummmmmbooollleeee" Marty - RTE "enjoy" :rofl
I like Boy McAuley doing the commentary, but Magee comes out with some mad **** - it is kinda funny because he really doesnt give a **** - he just lets it flow - what was he saying tonight about ali and Liston at the end of one them rounds in the Lee-Thaim fight **** sake!
Magee does my ****ing head in. I've nothing against McAuley, but Magee does the vast majority of the talking. And he talks non stop ****. It's like he's never seen a boxing match before.
I actually find Magee funny, anything he says can be twisted around in my dark mind into a perverse meaning.. The panelists are top banana though. No joke, they are the best panelist's I know of. dunne was very good, and mick D is always brilliant.. McAuley is alright for the most part. He just needs to get himself a thesaurus though. He over uses the word 'cracking', and the phrase 'cracking shot'.
lads just back from limerick im fairly steamed but it was nice to meet so many ppl to put names to faces :good
