A plea to sky

Please put Jim "arrrrrum puncheeees" watt out to pasture.

Another terrible commentary performance last night from "former world champion" watt.

At one point he inexplicably said what macklin was doing was without thought! Errrm, obviously everything macklin did was a part of a master plan.

"why haven't we seen sturms jab?"

He just seems to lack any sort of analytical skills. Macklin gave him no space early on to implement his jab. Excellent tactics.

Then we had to endure round after round of repetitive **** from watt.

"the quality work coming from sturm"

I beg your pardon??!! One or two flashing combinations, whilst taking a good beating to the body from Irish matt? It's horrendous. Champion isn't much better.

Hbo have got it down well, lederman to talk about the points situation every three rounds, and the rest of the commentary team get on with talking about what's happening in the fight.

Us ****ers in Britain have to endure the constant drivel about how you can't get a decision in Germany and how close rounds will go to sturm blah blah blah. Every fight it's the same shite.

Sky need to "invest" in the future and bin off jim

 

Tempting isn't it? I hold off on doing it though simply because the lack of crowd noise detracts from the event almost as much as watts commentary does.
At least they sent someone out to Germany to commentate live though rather than do it from a studio!
Sky still have some tweaking to do. Commentary team, and the 5 minute analysis after was no where enough time. Where were the post fight interviews? I suppose sky had to get wind surfing or something like that on quickly after.
Adam smith seems to care about bringing boxing back to the masses but boxing fans can see through poor production.

 

some peoplle on here need to get a life , fcuking prats

he was ok - you sort of get used to him

 

O fair do's on the biased hbo coverage. But people don't get it right all the time. It's just that watt is consistently shite.
Everyone could see the fight for what it was apart from watt and apparently you. Macklin was putting so much pressure on sturm that sturm could only fight in short burst. Because macklin was throwing so many shots he was open to counter jabs and straight rights occasionally.
Pbf and odlh was similar but IMO there was no disputing the outcome and you couldn't say there was any real levels between macklin and sturm. We all knew some of the shots sturm was throwing were quality, there was no surprise there. The thing was that he was being limited in his output by macklins pressure. Sturm was trying to steal rounds whereas mack the knife was grabbing the rounds by the scruff of the neck with some extremely intelligent in fighting.
Credit to both boxers though hardly a clinch between them.
Most people can see watt for what he is "senile"

 

Ok pet, it's only opinions. I just fail to see how watt justifies what he says half the time.

Btw, no bias from me what so ever. Just saying it how I see it:good

 

I nearly didn't dignify ths with a reply, but I've got to say, who said anything about nationalities? Why is it a lot of scots on here seem to need to raise English v Scottish when one of their own is criticised? It doesn't matter a **** to me if watt is Scottish. I'm sure he calls what he thinks he's seeing a spade.
I guess you think mcewan has a shot against macklin or sturm now eh?
