What time does he start talking about watt at? I already predicted that this fight would lose watt his job
He mentions him in the first 5 minutes. I'm still watching it now, it's another great interview with Eddie by Kuggan.
Watt is a nice man but his time should be over as a commentator. His scorecards do not reflect his commentary most of the time and he just repeats the same old cliches time and time again. He is starting to remind me of Uncle Albert from Only Fool's... As soon as he starts talking I just groan and mentally switch off.
I'd get rid of Adam smith, Paul smith, watt, keep nelson but tell him to cop the **** on. Woodhall can stay but would be close to the sack And poach Barry jones from boxnation
The thing with Nelson is and he's admitted it himself, he's crap at reading an autocue. I'd prefer it if they did away with scripting everything altogether, the dry newsreader style really doesn't suit. Contrast Bunce's show or ifltv both are easier to watch even with Bunce's massive ego.
I think Paulie being drafted in to the team alongside Watt for Wembley was the first sign that sky didn't trust jim fully with a mega event. I suspect we will see a gradual transition done in a compationate way for a man who has been a great servant to sky and British boxing in general. Maybe let's see Jim moved back into the studio -not all the time but often he's still a good pundit IMO. Paul Smith isn't really my cup of tea but he is IMO a decent commentator so I say give him a go.
