    It sounds like morrisey gets all his information about the fighters from boxrec and as for his mc job at that Lee fight it could make a grown man cry

    For the first two minutes of every fight Morrisey simply reads every stat off a BoxRec print out for each figther.

    How the **** is paid money for what he does is beyond me. I understand that this is a nationwide terestrial TV broadcast and the info has to be watered down to appeal to all - but the moronic level of commentry and interviewing would simple not be tolerated for any other sport.

    **** I HATE LOVING BOXING!!! :twisted:

    He needs to stick to gaa or football and leave the boxing commentating to someone who has a clue but in saying that dave Mcauley,Jim Rock,Mick dowling and Dunne are all decent pundits most of the time.Dunnes a good edition especially

    Personally I think everyone should ease off on the slagging of RTE.
    Fact is, its a national TV station doing its best to promote a minority sport that we love.
    If you want Max Kellerman or Johnny Nelson and are happy to pay the extra money fair play to you all. I for one am happy not to be forking out the extra dough and just accepting what I am getting for standard non pay per view (and all th BS that go's with it). Also, as regards to non boxing experts in the commentary etc - I for one think it is good that people who are more recognised with the majority sports, like GAA/ Football etc are involved as it might win the average joe who only watches occasional sport.,
