    I love the coverage on ITV4 because thet treat you like the punter in the Arena as you get the fight as 'live' as thet happen, and you get a schedule of fights with times.

    Sky can learn a lot, as they show the top of the bill at 10.00pm, and then everything else is pre-recorded and has to fit in the time remaining.

    What I like best about ITV boxing coverage is their "backstage" man, Gabriel. His complete lack of tact as he cruises the dressing rooms is highly entertaining.

    I think he may be mildly autistic.

    That's a possibility. I can just imagine him barging into a young Mike Tyson's dressing room and sticking a microphone in his face.

    These days we have to make do with him poking Junior Witter repeatedly in the chest.......
