    I find myself having to switch off to the Box Nation team of broadcasters or ill just cancel my account

    I cannot stand Steve Bunce , the setup is cheap , that sofa is ****in ridiculous , and there best pundit is Paul Smith

    Anthony Crolla , having just been stopped by Derry Matthews is giving his expert opinions on Floyd Mayweather vs Miguel Cotto :lol: seriously .......................

    If Crolla isn't fit to give an opinion then it doesn't say much for the rest of us on here.

    Not true Gaz ,

    This is an open forum for boxing " fans " , when your tuning in to the elite of the sport and paying for it , you dont really expect Anthony Crolla and Paul Smith as cheif pundits for an occasion like that !! , well i dont anyway

    Its like having Robbie Savage pundit the champions league final

    Well said mate, he may have lost his last fight, but he's still more qualified to call a fight then most of us!

    Crolla and Smith both did a very good job IMHO. Jamie Rednapp will probably be doing the CL final and he's never played at the level. Its a about being able to convey points across and be articulate.

    The premier boxing channel in the UK , showing probably the biggest fight of the year to date world wide , featuring the premier fighter in the sport today , and the best that they can give paying customers is Anthony Crolla

    Look , he's a solid fighter , nice lad , seems as knowledgeable as one would expect , but personally i cant buy into that !!!! , if it was a British Lightweight Title eliminator Crolla is your man , but not the sports elite , too big an occasion

    In general i just have a problem with Box Nations whole production , i really do turn over when live boxing isnt being shown , i cant bear Steve Bunce :deal

    Not for me its not !!!!

    There has to be a certain amount of credibility before im buying into some bodys opinions , thats me personally , others may or may not see it the same way , it has to be relevant to the occasion , Crolla was not relevant to that occasion

    I think Crolla seems like a nice enough bloke,I like to see fighters getting work on tv.I think Smith does ok on boxnation as well.Has he retired as a fighter now?

    Thanks for taking the time to elaborate :D

    I understand the point you're making, yes it would be good to have bigger names on the sofa (yes Gaz it is ridiculous), but I just don't think they have the financial clout at the moment.

    But leave Buncey out of it, he's a legend! :happy

    To me, someone gives an opinion, I evaluate it and agree or disagree. I'm no more likely to agree or disagree with Anthony Crolla as I am with Roberto Duran.
