    I like him.

    He is overly excitable, loud, and can talk some utter shite and be biased, but he is a genuine boxing man, loves the sport, has a wealth of knowledge, and is a pretty decent writer when he goes down that avenue.

    In a world of barely literate, mumbling, yes men, internet "journalists", Buncey is a rare talent.

    Yup I'm a fan. He certainly ain't perfect but you cannot deny his passion and knowledge of the fight game.

    Yay. He's part of the dying breed of real journos. In 20 years time Parsons will be considered a veteran , let that sink in

    Yes I agree with everything that’s been said. He’s a much better writer than a broadcaster . His books and his BN column are very good. As an interviewer he is a complete arse licker even though I’m sure he would say he isn’t. Still miles better than Kugan Parsons etc

    Yeah, he's alright. He's Buncey.

    Thought he was brown bread when I first saw the thread title!

    Very much a boxing journalist that was old school tries to fet that across ,simply has and does go out to the small halls and see a fighter develop.

    Loves the sport and a very good print writer.

    Parsons will have been setting up Babestation type channels once he gets bored of boxing

    Let's hope he hurry up

    In small doses yes. He hypes a fight well and his enthusiasm is real. But when he gets carried away and starts rambling in a studio for hours on end he grates on me.

    All his books are excellent. He's a very good writer.
    I liked him as a pundit back on the itv2 boxing first and bbc days.
    By boxnation he had turned into a loud hysterical characature. As he approaches his golden years I hope he can be more the quiet bunce
