    To hell with Smith.

    What about Watt's 10-10 score for the 5th round? That was ridiculous.

    There were a couple of rounds that could have been scored even.... but the 5th was one of the most one-sided in the fight.

    Munroe had his moments in pretty much every round, 119-109 doesn't really tell the full tale.....

    Smith has been insulting us fans for years by staying in a position where he is absolutely **** poor and making us all sit through his absolutely horrendous commentating. Invariably people will say, "but he's a nice guy". I really don't care about that, I just care about hearing good commentary and he really doesn't provide it and never has. The amount of friends of mine who have been watching fights hes been commentating on and have said he sounds ridiculous is very high. He just isn't a good commentator, yet he continues to do it. It's selfish and disrespectful to the fans. Ed Robinson hsa said in the past that he is an awful commentator and he wouldn't do the job. Fair play to him, he understands his limitations. I don't care how Smith goes from sky, but I will certainly be celebrating when he does. He has ruined fights for years and continues to do so. Shame on him. I wonder how he even got the job in the first place.

    I thought it was a pretty accurate score, Munroe wasnt shown up but Nishioka did enough work in each round to win most of them, i think i gave him 2 rounds but Nishioka was a clear winner

    Read his post dickhead, he clearly says the early stages.

    It's clear to evryone Nishi won by a wide margin.

    Why is it we have to have an influx of ******s here every week wrecking this forum.

    I come on here to talk about boxing not to respond to ****ing idiots!!!

    I gave him two as well..... no major grumbles with the 119-109.

    He won parts of most rounds, but couldn't really put it together often enough.... the footwork was the key I think.

    I like Adam as a presenter but I'm not sure about him as a commentator, it's a shame Ian Darke has left Sky because he really was a very good commentator.

    I kind of agree. At one point Smith said something like:

    ''Niakoshi's in trouble''.

    When he clearly wasn't.

    I was confused with that too. Niakoshi clearly won the round.

    Tthis is one of my biggest hates on this ****ing forum: the word is BIASED in this context. Adam Smith cannot be the concept of bias, but he can be BIASED. Bias is a noun, BIASED is an adjective.

    Two simple letters make it easier to take your opinion more seriously.

    yep, I pulled that one up in the RbR. Watt was saying he couldn't separate the fighters in the 5th when it was an easy round to score.
