A little test for Smith on Saturday night, it will be interesting to see how he manages this little mini-crisis with Warren's card seemingly falling apart.
Gotta hand it to Adam Smith, since he took over there have been some subtle but effective changes at Sky. Bringing in the likes of Barry McGuigan, giving Spencer Oliver more of a voice, having a good Boxing analyst like Woodhall is really doing it for me. Take the show the other week, with Watson etc, how great was that? you can bet that was Smith's influence to. I like the way he was grilling Haye to. There is too much of this, your the networks boy, so we'll be as biased as we can and try not to ask you awkward questions, albeit questions that need asking. :thumbsup
I enjoyed that too, it was just annoying how Johnny Nelson was too quick to keep jumping to Haye's defence.
I think it was good that Ringside dedicated a whole hour to David Haye. I really enjoyed tonights show. Adam Smith showed, with some of the questions he asked. That he is just at the end of the day, a fan of the sport. Johnny Nelson & Barry Miguigan sp* are also fans of the sport, but they understand the psychology/emotioal and buisness side of the sport allot more than Adam Smith.
Yeah that was the only thing about it that made me think hmm!, least they are trying to give a more balanced view, even if they did infact instruct Nelson to do that, which I reckon they probably did. I think it at least shows they are listening to what fans want, instead of just ignoring them. It seems the Haye-Harrison criticisms has had a positive effect with Sky, they know the fans wont stand their BS anymore.
Well, this week has been a plus in my view. Prizefighter was good. Collins and Woodhall in the studio were excellent. I really think it is important to put Johnny Nelson and Adam Smith on the substitutes bench for more fight nights. They are doing Ringside every week and Johnny and Adam work well together on the documentaries. I would like Sky to utilise their website more - i.e. put all the footage of bhop doc on the site and under card fight on the site too. Plus, on ringside please show some of the unseen under card action.
