This is way beyond a joke now. Anything below elite world level is ''a good little s****'' to that sack of flight Halling. Carl Froch really has just said that Dereck Chisora ''is expected to get the job done tonight.'' Would Sky put up with their football team describing Swansea vs West Ham as ''a good little kick-about''? Does Carl Froch not realise that Kubrat Pulev is a 1-4 favourite? Come on man, this is not asking the world to have competent and informed people working for a subscription channel!
Hasn't this already been done to death? We all know sky's coverage is terrible, but continue to watch it anyway.
did Froch make any interesting comments about Khan's loss? I know they had issues so am hoping Froch showed a bit of class
The thing that bugs me most about Halling is his desire to create a narrative in the fight from the get-go, and only loosely based on what is actually happening, all with the intention of making uncompetitive fights appear close. And he formulates this narrative within the 1st minute of the fight and never lets go. Plus his voice sounds like a local radio DJ.
I've only seen the Crolla fight but I thought Halling and Jim Watt were decent last night, called the fight exactly as it played out.
Crolla got pummelled the first 4 rounds but the commentary indicated it was an Anthony Joshua bashing a defenceless Hector Avilla type fight. Pathetic from the two does not do it justice. Crolla had to weather a serious storm but these two cants made it sound like it was only a fart from Cheryl Cole. atsch
Halling is the luckiest man involved in boxing in my opinion, how he has kept that job is beyond me. I want Sky Sports to give me a red button option to turn off commentary but they will never do it because they know the vast majority would turn off Halling and Watt.
