    It's just because it's a Wednesday I'm guessing. Doesn't clash with his other work.

    He still does one-off events when it doesn't clash with his football duties.

    Darke is the best comentator going for boxing. Love him on the big US cards that they used to show. Hopefully more of Darke in the coming weeks on Sky.

    I used to love Darke when he was working with Glen McCorry.

    Darke gives the fight a better atmosphere and a better feel.

    Brilliant. Met him on holiday a few months back in
    A supermarket and had a good conversation about the khan fight the night before. Very nice guy and seemed to love his boxing.

    Good to hear him tonight. He is, by far, the best Britsh boxing commentator. All the rest are domestic level contenders.

    Ian Darke.........World class.

    :deal

    I much prefer Rawling to Darke.

    I hate to sound like a broken record, but Darkes antics during the Haye-Valuev fight were utterly shaeful when he shouted down Jim watt cos he had Valuev winning. Showed himself up as a spoiled little fanboy that night & he should never be allowed near another big fight again IMO.
