Anyone remember the coverage of Colin Lynes IBO fight on Bravo?

    It was carnage. I know Primetime do not have Skysports budget, but lets hope they do not cut corners to the extent of what Bravo did.

    Apparently during a Serie A game there was no commentator until half time because the guy overslept. Hence Italian football was not a success on Bravo

    I remember that - it really was amateur hour.

    I'd be quite happy if Primetime just gave us the Showtime broadcast. Al Bernstein & co. will be in Nottingham, so - unless it's Buncey in the studio and Woodhall commentating - the US team will do for me.

    Yeah, that Bravo show was something else. I remember the presenter forgetting Colin Lynes' name, the interview girl and Robin Reid flirting minutes before his fight and Lynes doing a pre-fight interview before he walked ut where he so obviously didn't want to be there. Proper train wreck

    Good they're showing froch-pascal. That announcet's voice is so annoying.

    "Don't miss oot" - weird Scottish lilt in American accent.

    I don't remember that fight but I do remember Channel 5 showing the Holyfield vs Moorer II rematch with Reg and Lennox doing the commentary and Buncey in the 5 studio.
