    People say that..but I think saying "Purdy barely landed a clean punch" is very harsh, I think Sky were unappreciative of some of Purdys work to be honest

    Agree, Purdy was winning on rounds for me

    Quality was coming from Lee, Alexander was not catching Lee clean.

    They always commentate with an agenda mate until the writing is on the wall.

    When you have complained about Sky commentary for the 168th time......put it on mute and stop making **** threads about it.

    I havent watched a big fight with commentary for 3 years now.

    HONESTLY?
    So , no sound at all?

    Dont like the sound of that, maybe afterwards if i want to study a fight ive scored wrong, but i love having the commentary on and most importantly the sound of the crowd/punches/bell

    I found the commentary would effect the way I scored the fights. The RBR's deffinatley affect how you score a fight as well so I keep out of them most of the time.

    If you want the commentary on great, but every ****ing RBR has 20 posters complaining about the commentary being bad or biased.

    Press mute, become a commentator yourself and do it 100x better seeing as you think its so easy, or shut the **** up!

    You had Purdy winning? wtf
    He had 1 decent round, he landed a few decent shots in others but Alexander was destroying him with one hand

    Are you being sarcastic, or did you really have Purdy ahead on points at he time of the stoppage?

    They were more biased in the Pederson fight, listen to them in the 1st round. It was as if pederson put on a defensive masterclass and there was no way Lucas was going to win.

    Ped did nothing in that round but run like a coward but got praised to the hilt from Halling.

    You can't put the commentary on mute cos watching a fight with no sound is ****. You want to hear the punches land at least.

    Exactly, its just a shame that Halling is probably the worst commentator in Boxing right now.
