Ben, you are so right mate. He might be experienced yes, but he is so so so boring. He seems camera shy and...he is defiently no commentator, he doesnt speak!!!! Sky boxing is dead.. Glen Mccrory, Nicky Piper(how he got a job at sky I will never no) must go. Johny Nelson is alright. Bring in the Bunce.:thumbsup
Mcguigan and Spencer Oliver are the best of a very bad bunch. Didn't think McCrory was that bad tbh. Can't stand Watt or Nelson.
Bunce annoys me the most hes pretty funny when he goes on a rant sumtimes but his voice gets on me tits! Am surprised hes so popular!
Because he knows most of the fighters and talks some sense. He also asks the questions that many fight fans want to hear, and sometimes they are questions that the likes of McCrory and Nelson wouldn't dare ask. His show on Setanta before it died was a godsend for British fight fans as was his drunken rants at the yank commentators :yep
It's about easing them out bit by bit...can't just sack them all then next week have 5 new guys sitting there. I like to see Spencer Oliver given more chance....to be honest even Spencer Fearon and obviously Buncey would be the big one to have. Piper just pisses me off...soon as i see his silly face the tv goes on mute now...just can't be asked to listen to it.
I didn't think Thaxton was too bad as a pundit, but was dreadful as a commentator for the Froch-Dirrell fight. That rant at Kellerman was sheer genius.
I'd love to see Bunce on the sky team, but there is no chance of it happening, because he actually has his own opinions and is not afraid to air them. Piper, McRory, Nelson etc are just Sky drones. Everything is geared to 100% supporting fighters that are being lined up for future Sky PPV. The comments from those lot before, during and after the Khan v Barrera fight almost made me physically ill. It was stomach churning. Dont get me started on Jim Watt - the guy who picks the winners of fights before they've started and sticks to his biased choice from round 1 to 12 despite whats actually happening in the ring!! They need a shake up in there. Get rid of the dead wood and bring in some new faces, some current boxers would be a welcome change. People slate the US set up, but i've alwyas been interested at what the likes of Tarver has to say.
If you think that DeGale has world chmpion written all over him from his as of yet very sloppy pro fights, yet thinks Frankie Gavin just ain't srious enough then you don't get boxing and should **** off. The way he tried to throw ALL the blame on Floyd Mayweather Snr. (even though he is a fool) for ''His mate, Ricky Hatton'' losing against Manny Pacquiao was just ******ed on the next level. What a baffoon.
He seems to do the same with David Haye now aswell.... and to my knowledge, Haye has never even bashed him up before! :huh (even though the more I see him talk, the more I wish he would!) I think maybe he is jealous for being much better than him at heavyweight, while also being replaced temporarily by him on the night of Hatton-Mayweather.
I've often wondered why Lennox decided to go for the job in the U.S when he would have received more appreciation here doing a job on sky?
