    Sorry, I’m from the USA and watched on Showtime. Didn’t catch who was who on the commentary — especially the tall guy who interviewed Fury and Wilder.

    Would appreciate it if someone could tell me who the two main commentators and the interviewer were.

    John Rawling - blow by blow
    Barry Jones and David Haye - punditry/analysis
    Ronald McIntosh - the tall interviewer

    I thought David Haye gave a very thorough blow by blow on Carl Frampton.

    I was thinking he was doing a good job on the punditry last night, then he went all over the top on Frampton!

    He cannot speak about anyone he has either trained or sparred without verbally unloading his wad all over the microphone.

    I also really enjoyed Hayes commentary last night but you d have a point here!

    One positive, I think he's much improved since he retired, seems to be less about bigging himself up than he was before. Hope we continue to see him as a pundit.

    Thought it was good, what really bugged me was the lack of undercard fights on but i guess they knew Fury would go the points route over 10 and Warburton would carry Crocker the distance lol

    I thought Haye was awful to be honest with you.

    David Haye just goes from broadcaster to broadcast praising the home fighter at every turn. Easy money i guess. "Fury deliberately looking poor as a ploy". Even when Rawling incorrectly called Wilder a southpaw yet AGAIN, Haye just went along with it as diplomatically as he could lol
