he speaks very well about boxing, very knowlegable, ok a bit of a lisp but **** me id rather have garteth ****ing gates than jim wanker watt.... stupid **** he is.
Its not the lisp. He's far too verbose to do the blow by blow commentary. You have a short amount of time to get your points across, Eubank has never been able to do that. He speaks slowly, pauses mid sentence and rambles, he'd make an awful commentator.
i just want someone in who is not jim watt mate, whoever tbh i cant ****ing stand watt, i have on more than one occasion, the last being haye vs valuev turned the volume to mute cos he does not know what he is talking about...... he is going cenile imo.
I thought Watt did a good job last night. In fact, I really enjoyed the commentary. Maidana DID look like he was going to quit in the first. And Khan did sag right at the end of the tenth - **** sake, Roach said he thought about stopping it! That was one of Watt's better nights. Some people just like to complain.
i like listening to jim watt.he's a former world champ and is more knowledgable on the sport than the haters on this forum.most of whom, have never been near a boxing ring
I fell asleep before the fight came on, watched a copy of the HBO broadcast this morning and the commentary was OK overall although they seemed a little negative about Khan. RJJ needs to be there full time again and that senile clown Merchant has to go. From what I saw of Sky last night it wasn't too bad, Rawling was OK but repeatedly calling McKenzie a concussive puncher was annoying.
He had Khan up by 6 points! I don't really like to criticise too much but he is pretty bad and has been for a while now.
x2.....:good his cards have been terible for a while now..... he see's what the judges and the fans dont see.
watt is a bit of a dick at times,even if he was a world champ,it doesn't matter,he was shocking last night.atsch one second he is saying "khan doesn't want to be fighting this way" after knockdown "this is exactly what khan should be doing",:huh it went this way all through the fight,terrible:deal
Fair enough bud. TBH I know good commentary can add to the fight but, for me, bad commentary doesn't take away from it. I either zone it out or I just disagree with whats being said.
I had no problem with the commentary. They are a bit biased but other then that I have no issues and who cannot love the classic "arrum punches" line.
He's not a judge, so his scorecard doesn't really matter. I thought his commentary was good - he explained what Khan was doing wrong, and he explained why Maidana was struggling. He makes mistakes, he can be bad, but no worse than the US commentators. ****ing Jim Lampley sometimes seems like he's watching a completely diifferent fight too the one on-screen.
If he's not supposed to be judging it what's the point putting up his scorecard? Why not put a completely random one up or one where Khan won all of the rounds? I agree he's not much worse than many others though. I guess the whole nature of scoring is subjective and it's a really difficult job to do as well as commentating at the same time
Why don't you make a list of the guys who are great commentators? Do you think its an easy job to do?
