    Rawlings and Duke are the worst.

    Rawlings: "Great left hook............just missed the target":huh (yeah, that must have been one hell of a left hook there John)


    Duke: "He's gone, he's so gone, oh my god he so outta there its untrue, jesus christ why don't they stop the fight" (and then the bell for the start of the first round sounds).

    Morning girls.
    Buncey's Hour returns today - 1-2 on Setanta Sports News and then on Setanta Sports 1 and 2 for the next two days. I'm glad that I'm getting a bit of stick again. It makes me feel at home!
    Enjoy.
    Adios.

    How anyone can say Buncy is one of the worst is beyond me!

    Bunce is one of my favs, shows true passion for the sport and has very extensive knowledge.

    I even like hearing about some of the "situations" he tells that could work in boxing, even if they can be abit deluded lol e.g Gamboa v Mayweather :rofl

    Nice one Bunce and good work.


    Just one thing, watched the show today and was abit disappointed with the end, no hear from Pavlik v Hopkins! or Calzaghe v Jones! even though it said it would be discussed, please please please can time be arranged more accordingly for the future, e.g less time John Ruiz :good

    To be fair, they can hardly ask Ruiz to call them up and then **** him off just to mention a couple of fights that arn't even on for a few months. Theres plenty of time to get stuck into Pavlik-Hopkins and Calzaghe-Jones.

    But when they tell you at the start of the show, and before every advert break that its going to be coming up, and doesn't.

    It kinda pisses you off

    You can never beat Reg, Harry or Eamonn IMO.

    Worse: McKenzie and McGuigan: Both cliche and very blase

    Does Steve Bunce actually commentate then? I thought he just did the analysis stuff - I don't have Satanta.

    #20. When we get Pavlik stuff I will make sure that it is used. Jones and Calzaghe live coming in about three weeks. I will try and get Bernard on next Thursday. The show went long today because I wanted to fully cover the Olympic situation - medals and controversy.
    Adios.

    Sounds good, it was only a minor thing.

    I thought the olympic stuff was good, it does only come around every 4 years after all :thumbsup, and especially after the medal haul we recieved this time.

    Bernard next Thursday, that should be good, can never get tired of that guy, I actually think he has a very good chance at beating Pavlik.


    Would be good to have some stuff on the Dean Francis - Nathan Cleverly British title fight also (maybe not just yet, but closer to the fight), personally I feel it's too much of a step up for Cleverly at this point in his career, will be good to hear from Enzo as to why he accepted the fight, was certainly a shocker for me :shock:

    Cheers
