Ian Darke can paint a picture for the layman while keeping it interesting and relevant for the hardcore Rawling just dumbs everything down. And I swear he says "Duke" even when Mckenzie isn't even there.
darke for me, got chatting to him once at hatton fight in sheffield,lovely fella and deffo knows his stuff.
When Darke left Sky for ESPN, they had it written in to his contract that he could still do the occasional fight on Sky if it didn't impede with his ESPN commitments. He was down to do Wlad v Chisora in December before it was called off, but I think this was the first time he's been heard since the Magnificent Seven in September? I imagine we'll hear him very occasionally, though hopefully a bit more often, because Rawling and Smith really aren't a patch on him.
I like Adam Smith but i now know why many find him creepy I watched the watson interview and whenever nelson was asking a question or watson talking he sat with a strange posture and a very strange expression on his face...certainly odd
Absolutely spot on! Darke is miles better than Rawling and it is an education listening to Woodhall commenting on boxing. I aint too fussed about darky on football but David Pleat is a great commentator and always tells you something you don't know, very knowledgable and doesnt just trot out cliches. I've always liked Pleat and Graham Taylor s well although many hate them.
