    Don't get me wrong I thought Bradley won a close fight but that was a disgrace. They didn't give Marquez any credit at all and were acting like Bradley was winning easy. When JMM landed they brushed it off and kept putting him down. They choose a fighter early in the fight then ride with him the whole fight and don't give the other guy any credit. Jim Watt was bad but the other dude he was with was unreal. I never want to hear him again.

    Jim Watt gets slaughtered every time he does a gig but in reality he spots things 95% of the viewing public don't. Myself included.

    Yes Bradley won by a couple IMO they do seem to pick a fighter & only react when they throw something of note was thinking that myself watching it this morning.

    The other commentator Nick Halling used to be on SKY coverage of the NFL sitting in front of a laptop making random points & giving stats out.

    Now commentates on the big fights........making random points & giving stats out:huh

    I've just grabbed the laptop to start this thread and someone beat me to it!!!! Were they tugging themselves over Bradley???? I thought Bradley won but even when Marquez landed they didn't mention it. I thought they were going cry when they heard the decision. They totally pissed me off,never heard anyone want someone to win so much, Jim Watt's always been shite

    I thought their scorecard was spot on. Bradley controlled the tempo and the fight.

    Do you think they have been told to exaggerate their commentary on Bradley?? Just a thought as he hasn't got a following like many other world champions and sky have been given a sweetener to help promote him,hahaha. There aren't many times you hear Americans get jeered on their home turf, unless they were all Mexicans there last night. Apart from that them two ****s were twatful......

    Yeah I agree they were really bad, think their scorecard was right in the end but if you just listened to the commentary and didn't watch the fight you'd think Bradley won every round.
