Make sure you send in your cv, I dont think you will have any shortage of referees from us lot. Sky need to sack the lot of those ****in headcases. Kellerman is another joke, how do these ****ers get these jobs in the first place. Listening to the commentary last night from the first fight, Cruz v Locke - they didn't have a decent thing to say about Locke early on, they were dissing is recent form, did they not see his stellar performance in the war with Escalante, a fight that I wiil have to watch again.
Mine does the same as yours, always has. Last night during the fight they changed the programme end time from 5am to 6am but my sky+ stopped recording smack on 5. I was watching live anyway of course.
Haha the old Jim Watt debate I stuck up for him the other night on here but last night he was shite They jumped on the 'Floyd is amazing' bandwagon from the first bell and refused to get off it Pretty bad
They kept on saying.. When JMM landed a punch.. "What price is he gonna pay for that" "Look at the price he paid in the other round" Trying to make out, Floyd Mayweather was breaking his ribbs and cracking his cheek bone....when all he was doing was..landing Jabs and occassional pot shots. I think it was Jim Watt, getting emotional for no reason.
I think Adam was putting words into Watt's mouth all through the fight. When JMM landed clean punches Smith was still talking about Floyd's greatness to Jim. Clark who looks like he gonna throw a dart when asking questions needs to be replaced by Dempsey & don't get me started on Johnny Nelson.
For the American fights they should get in someone like Wayne McCullough as he knows everything about all the fighters from the US the new faces and the old ones and he seems to know his stuff. His blog on Sky is always worth a look at times. They need Dempsey back Dave Clark knows **** all about boxing and is a joke and should stick to darts. I wouldn't mind Buncey back on tv but do you need too many pundits. Some of the guess hosts looked decent I remember Hatton on 1 Friday fight night even get in a whole new team. Scrap the current team and set up and try something different it will breathe life into the show.
Considering boxing is known for big personalities, Sky have managed to assemble the most boring line up possible.
Its kinda weird reading this thread cos I dodged the result & only watched it on SKY at 5pm in my pals house, when they repeated it. My pal said he wouldnt give away the result, & was as good as his word. He sat on the computer whilst I watched the fight, & from the second round onwards I was getting so wound up by the commentary I started moaning & mouthing off, boxing gets me so wound up, I cant help myselfatsch My poor buddy had to suffer me moaning without being able to offer his own opinion, but the commentary was so awful I was raging & got a splitting headache for my troubles As soon as the fight finished my pal told me that everyone on ESB was in agreement with my rants & raves, including him! & he said he had never seen a thread on ESB when everyone was in total agreement about something so completely... I was happy to hear it, & then to read it. However, on the downside the commentary annoyed me so much that I couldnt concentrate on the fight properly as Smith & Watt were SO out of control, they actually ruined the fight for me:-( Hence the aforementioned headache. Watt was SO disrespectful to a great like Marquez, I cannot even put it into words how I feel about him & his paid offness. Insulting to the intelligence? Thats doing Smith & Watt a favour. & what abouth the post fight fawning from Glenn, Jonny & MENSA man? Followed by Smith doing his usual Alan Partridge impressions & Watt just being Watt(can he get more annoying than being himself?) Great fight, ruined by the SKY team. Ruined by Kellerman. Ruined by that ***** Mosley. Thank **** Mayweather is back though, as the man says, boxing has missed him.
Which begs the question, was ****** demoted for this fight? He was covering Daws & Morrison whilst Smith was lording it in the USA... Is Smith the new Darke & Darke the new Smith?
