Did anyone see Jim Watt after the weigh in today talking about Froch's weakness as fighter and then out of nowhere Froch appeared right behind him,the look on Watts face as he realised Froch was beside him was priceless
He don't know sheet abou baaxing and Sky needs to fire his ass! I struggle to find a more bias commentator/pundit in the Sport. Literally everything that comes out his mouth is what Sky tell him to say. Plenty of examples. None more so than recently in the Ricky Burns vs. Jose Gonzalez. When Gonzalez was way ahead, a "class act", "Ricky doesn't know what to do", "Nobody saw this coming from Gonzalez...." Ricky was still trailing by a country mile, but when Gonzalez stayed on his stool, the attitude changed and anyone just tuning in would of thought Ricky Burns dominated the entire fight. Dunno how he is still commentating? Which is a stupid question really, because he is doing exactly what they are telling him to do. Sky's boxing team needs a shake up, new age promoting - old age pundits? Come on! Jim Watt should be the first out the door with Glenn McCrory and Adam Smith. GET WITH THE TIMES!
that was a classic but on a side note carl I am not sure if carl looked nervous or just over amped up
Griff/Woodyaa will have it up. Give him time. I aint seen it myself yet. But IMO they should throw Watt in the ring after the fight to do the interviews, so he can finally get the last nail in the coffin. I have no doubt in my mind Jim Watt knows a bit about boxing, having been a boxer himself. But he has no freedom as an old man for ****s sake, to think originally and be down the middle! No freedom whatsoever. Its embarrassing and cringe worthy seeing him always lean towards the Sky fighters, the fights he watches are completely different to everyone else. Do Sky really think we are all that stupid? Good god. The best work Watt has done has been on Prizefighter, where he seems to have a bit more freedom to work. Sky's production team should be ashamed of themselves. This is an old man they are making doing this. They are insulting our intelligence, and also Watt's boxing knowledge. **** Sky! :finger **** the Monopoly! :finger **** Murdoch! :finger
