    Have many of you guys watched the Behind the Ropes on Sky for Froch and Bute?

    I thought they were excellent, very well produced , and for me probably better than some of the more recent HBO 24/7's; I think they tend to drag out too little material over two hours.

    Well done Sky for some classy TV! :good

    they were very good. the intro the Froch was excellent. Kudos to sky. I am sure Buncey will find something to slag off about them.

    fyi this is mostley the work of Ed Robinson.

    I thought Bute's was poor.

    Great shows, the Johnny Cash intro was a beautiful touch.

    I don't think so, and even if he did, what?!

    They were some of the most professionally produced boxing docs I have seen for a long time, easily on a par with 24/7, if not superior.

    And kudos to Ed Robinson, clearly a talented guy :good

    I didn't enjoy it as much as the Froch one, but still found it a good insight into how he trains etc.

    I was amazed at how close he came to losing against Andrade in the first fight, I've never seen it, the ref definitely appeared to save him!

    I dont know, I wasnt overwhelmed to be honest, thought they were just "ok" and should have been longer.

    They were excellent and a credit to the production team. Far superior to any 24/7 episode.

    The Bute one, in particular, was excellent - almost meditative at times. The editing and use of sound in the Andrade fight was about as goods as TV gets.

    Bute one was like one big slow motion montage, but it worked well because there's not much else you could do for someone like Bute and it represented him well. There wasn't any cheap attempts to ignite a flame that's been burning ever since the fight was announced.
