    I prefer getting a root canal to Sam Jones

    You say that. But Sam jones would have been the perfect fit at boxxer as a partner for Ben rather than Probellum

    Did enjoy it when he told Claressa Shields straight though

    I actually think Boxxer has done a good job in a relatively short time and I do not think one can judge after a few months. Sky Sports team with the excellent host Anna Woolhouse in front and analyzes from Carl Froch and Johnny Nelson in the studio I think works well.

    I agree and I feel that it'll only get bigger.

    I think Shalom is quite good too, as long as he keeps getting good fights made. I quite like how he's not always hogging the limelight and quietly goes about his business where he talks when he needs too.

    Dare I say his lack of ego for a promoter will help him get bigger fights done?

    It’s too early to say and let’s be honest promoters are a lot easier to dislike than like. But glad Sky have stayed with boxing after Matchroom and it’s a breath of fresh air to not have Hearn down our throats every week.

    I agree. It is a huge ask to follow Eddie and matchroom. I think Sky and Boxxer are doing a great job. I thought they may struggle tbh. The reality is far from that imo. They are doing a good job and I can only see them getting stronger. If fighters want maximum exposure in the UK, Sky is the place to be.

    Quite enjoying the sky main events , undercards hopefully improve .
    As long as ben shalom has Adam Smith beside him he is not that bad but on his own is a little boring , hopefully he relaxes and gets better

    He looked so embarrassed. At least he has the balls to call it out.

    He came across great. Saw a robbery on his own show and demanded answers . I like the guy.

    Won a fan of me tonight.

    Don’t care how monotone he is- spoke out where Warren and Hearn wouldn’t dare to speak.

    Fair play I suppose but it does show how bad things have become when he's being praised for seeing the same thing anyone with a working eye & even the most limited boxing knowledge did

    i bet if Taylor was his fighter he wouldn't reacted honestly like that.

    Taylor is a top rank fighter not boxxer, and that was a top rank show full of top rank fighters - taylor, ramirez, p donovan, molloy, walker.
