    Can’t put my finger on anything with Groves, didn’t listen to his podcast but I just think his analysis of fights is quite good. He speaks about the little technical bits going on in a fight a bit more than others I think. Paul Smith is probably the best overall for that but doesn’t get a look in much anymore.

    You may be right about Jordan, he does seem to call a spade a spade to people though. Even when he knows it may **** them off slightly and they’re right in front of him. I think main examples off the top of my head he’s done it with are Chisora, Eubank Sr, Hearn and Warren who even refused to go on TalkSPORT for a while over it. I also like the way he calls all these freak show fights with YouTubers/ex mma men what they are. He calls Canelo Crawford, Eubank Benn types out for the massive weight differences they have fought at when every one else sweeps it under the carpet not allowing the less informed to know as it may sway their decison on whether they pay the stupid cost for their PPV.


    Thanks by the way.

    Lost all respect for Jordan when he bricked it in his interview with Nigel Benn. Gives it the biggun when they're not in the room then backtracks face to face. Weasel.

    Kugan no longer relevant since hearn and matchroom went down the pan.

    I used to literally watch everything, even Dave Coldwell's 30 minute IFL interview's i would watch, i was a proper hardcore, these days i only watch Hearn and Warren interviews, just to keep up with whats going on overall, that is it, and i watch on x2 speed too (proper game changer, saves so much time), i think it has gone downhill but also for me personally getting older i am just not as hardcore i was once was, i try and focus on my life rather than watch YouTube every night for 2.5 hours like i did back in the 2015 - 2021 days, i have grown out of it, and a lot of the interviews are the just the same questions and same answers, i follow boxing accounts on Twitter so anything that is actually interesting i will see on there.

    To be fair to Groves taking time out of your day to furiously rant about multiple boxing YouTube channels is ironically something a geezer who's thick as **** would do...you just seem so utterly furious young man you truly do. :firedevil:

    Anyway a bit of positivity to settle down this young man's anger which is clearly burning inside like a spicy curry on a Friday night so I do quite like Dave Allen bit of a waffler but I do quite like him...hello everyone. :icon12:

    HAHAHA "even Coldwell's 30 minute IFL interviews"

    I have never gone that far mate but I resonate with your point of view
