Tired flag-waving of the worst kind. I watched while playing pool in the boozer. Some of the arguments in the pub were more exciting. Khan would embarrass Brook. The Pole looked about 50 and barely threw a worthwhile punch. Matthew Hatton would give him a better fight. Brook may be world class. But nothing we have seen so far supports the argument. He has to beat a live opponent to convince me. As for Sky boxing coverage ..... don;t start me. At times, it looks like a trainspotters convention. If a fight is crap, for god's sake say so. Jim Watt gets stick on here, but at least he calls it as it is.
They are so desperate to hype Brook as a PPV star, it is embarrassing the amount of hyperbole that was spewed by the commentary team last night. It is no fault of Brook's I thought he looked very well last night, it was a soft stoppage but Brook was going to spark him.
As carrot cruncher says above- Jim Watt is the only pundit on that channel that doesn't dance to his paymaster's tune and tell you a fight is good or someone is performing when they are shite- why he gets as much stick I'll never know. McGuigan and co are the biggest yes men about.
Sky are desperate for another R.Hatton because a fighter with that kind of appeal equals nothing but money, so i think alot of it is trying to get as many people as poss on board
