Anybody else think buncey's show was sloppy and amateurish yesterday?

all i know is...that although i dont agree with EVERYTHING bunce stands for...i do know its the best boxing magazine show on the telly...
in 2009 we have over 200 channels..and bunces show is the most interesting, and best, boxing magazine show there is...

and...like my old grandad used to say..

you can please some of the people all of the time...
you can even please all of the people some of the time...
but you will never please all of the people all of the time.

I thought it was a bit less 'focussed' than it normally is but still enjoyed it.

Although any interview with Nate Campbell is welcome I couldn't figure out why he'd get up so early two days before a big fight to do promotional work for a UK audience which has no way of legally watching the Funeka fight. Bizarre.

Sutherland>Degale for me. Seems down to earth.

 

have they got rid of the podcast of the show cos i cant find it? or maybe just outside of the UK?

 

You can find it on setantas website.

 

the shows seems a bit fast pace ... needs to cut down on the numbers and concentrate on more in depth interviews ...i mean when they got kell on the phone for all but 10 secs the other week ,whats the point ,sort it out buncy .

 

You can knock the show all you want, but Steve puts together the only Boxing magazine show we have ever had on British TV.. there are live fighters on phone interviews, and some great insights live in the studio.. I think in reality we all should be blessed for that.. Just voice valid opinions , dont tear the show to bits.. Its a great watch for those who can't follow the mainstream game quite as close as others , Bunceys show fills all of the gaps.. God bless...

 

Love the show and couldn't give a **** about camera angles it's all about the boxing for me. 1 hour of Boxing talk every single week is quality my only gripe is that it's not on long enough.

 

Agreed. What kind of logic was that, Bunce???

 

Not this nonsense again. Ottke clearly & pretty easily outboxed Mitchell. It wasn't even close let alone controversial. Mitchell was just too slow vs Ottke & Calzaghe.

 

I can see that "and stop calling me Shirley".
I have to say I agree with the general sentiment on this thread, the Calzaghe bollock-rubbing is the sort of thing we all spent years cringing about while watching skysports, I'd hate to see Setanta go the same way.
Calzaghe is not the best ever brit or the best post war brit. Lewis' record is far better, FAR better despite having lost twice. Lewis beat Mason, Bruno, Mercer, Golota, Holyfield etc. Won the Linear title twice, unified (briefly) the titles and so on. Calzaghe's got Eubank at one end and Hopkins at the other with nothing other than Kessler (and that doesn't leap, at least not yet, more sort of stands on tippytoes but we'll see what happens with Kessler) that jumps out at you. Calzaghe holding an unrecognised title in a shallow division for a long time doesn't move him ahead of Lewis. Benn's wins over Mcclennan and DeWitt eclipse anything Joe did until Hopkins. Again, not saying he (JC) isn't a great fighter but there has to be some perspective (or honesty).

 

Benn has a better resume than Calzaghe full stop.

 

buncey over enthusiasm for the sport always makes him look amateurish. but his overhyping and enthusiasm is great for boxing

 

Amateurish??? Now I dont agree with him sometimes when Im watching the show, cos we boxing fans are great at not seeing eye to eye! but Bunce knows his boxing well. You cant argue with that. Remember, hes the anchorman, he has to talk boxing almost non-stop for the entire hour! If I was in his shoes, I wouldnt be able to handle it, & thats the truth.

Its OK coming on here & making posts when you got time to think, but the big man is required to talk boxing straight for around 40 minutes! I bet not many other posters here could do that.

Now I aint ass licking, Im just telling it like it is. Too many people moaning about a guy who is a well known face, has his own show, loves his boxing AND keeps in touch with us the fans. Its great IMO!
There should be more appreciation, & less moaning about errors & camera angles, its **** like that that makes the show what it is, cult viewing.

Thanks to the show I found out that my all time fave fighter Scotty Harrison is being backed up by Frank maloney, the man who was slagging Scotty of in the scottish press not so long ago! Thats great stuff. & considering the show is almost all about you englanders & your fighters, I cant see why theres any moaning!
My only moan is that I wish the big man would devote a few more minutes to scottish boxing, cos its usually all Haye, Hatton & any other englanders whose surname starts with an H.

Rant over:good

 

Come to think of it, Benn DOES have better wins than Joe.

Honeyghan's win over Curry far surpasses anything Calzaghe has done, although Joe's victory over B-HOp (who is clearly in his 'boxing' prime if not his physical prime) was debatable, it was a fantastic win.

Joe's career might surpass the likes of Honeyghan, Benn and Hatton (thus far) but it hasn't topped Buchanan or Lewis' IMO.


Bunce great show mate, how about Danny Lopez vs. Naseem Hamed for your fantasy fights next week!

 

i know that he knows the sport. he just overhypes fighters and fights which makes him look amateurish to people who know boxing

but i will say again its good for the sport what buncey does. it gains interest
