    I personally find Jim Watt very knowledgeable.

    Was it the Gatti-Mayweather fight when he said in an excited voice

    "This guy is getting tooooooned up!!! get him owwwwtttaaa there!"

    Jim Watt = Legend

    :nono Arrrrruuum punchies.

    Anyway, I agree that Jim Watt is a legend. He does have a tendency to completely contradict himself on a round-by-round basis, but imo the style of his commentary matters more than the substance. After all, we can see what's going on; the commentator's job is to dramatise it and I think Jim Watt does that superbly.

    A was in rodeo drive in beverly hills and their was a wee old guy with a suit on sellin bottles a water for 1$. A had a scotland top on and he asked me what country it was when a told him he said aahh ken buchanan, jim watt. This was not a week after a had met watt at burns v martinez weigh in, was a nice suprise he said it. Wish a had went to Roachs gym for a swatch. jim gets a lot a stick, boxin is better with him for sure

    Yes that can't be denied boxing is definately better for his involvement. Just not my cup of tea... He'd be better in a more supportive role like larry merchant.

    I really like Watt as a commentator, adds to the excitement. He doesn't always get it right but nobody does. I'd much rather have him than any of the other British commentators.

    She's seems a nice enough old lady but I'm not a fan of her .... In different is probably the best way to describe how I feel.

    I had a chance to meet a monarch a while back .... I wasn't arsed and didn't turn up he turned out to be a nice guy apparently although also a lock for being a closet homosexual. One of my tutors was like 'he was so nice and down to earth' I'd be nice and down to earth if everyday wasn't a struggle to keep my house and feed my kids.
