    the problem is he clearly doesnt actually see it. he commentates about a completely different and imaginary fight. sky isnt cheap for many people, paying punters deserve a commentator that doesnt just bull**** almost the complete fight.

    I'm going to watch the fight again without commentary from Watt. Watt seemed not to recognise any if the success brook had!

    This was a a clear 116-113 fight probably more if I didn't have silly Watt telling me how good porter was doing.

    Porter had very limited success brook had lots simples

    Halling and Watt are the worst commentators we've ever had. They ruin fights. When will Sky realise this?

    jim watt scored the bout keeping in mind that the fight is in USA and the pressure fighter is usually who gets the decision

    nothing wrong with his scorecard... i personally thought kell was winning the fight, however, I had porter up based on the same theory above

    Show the guy some respect - he was giving his opinion which he is paid to do. Trust your eyes, you don't need to rely on TV commentators to justify your own scorecards. Folk e-mailing Sky to ask them to punt the man from his job are sad pricks with far too much time to burn.

    I agreed with Jim Watt last night as I thought Porter done enough to keep his title. Brook surprisingly came more into it as the fight went on, but I preferred Porter's work and I had him just winning.

    when jim watt commentates he doesnt change in mind during a fight. once he is set on supporting one person thats ya lot, you might aswell quit. so ye he is a dinosaur.

    I disagreed with Watt on rounds 2 and 7. I also gave Brook the last round, in which Watt gave it even

    Round 2 was a bit baffling. Brook was settling well, and Halling was noticing, yet Watt was having none of it.

    He does that but he shouldn't. I mind in the Haye-Valuev fight he gave a round to Valuev with the comments "haye only landed 4 or 5 punches in that round and you can't expect to win that here so I gave it to Valuev" (who landed absolutely nothing, zero).

    Porter dominated the fight Brook only won 3-4 rounds.

    I watched the American commentary because of the fact that I couldn't be doing with jim watt , the last few fights he has commentated on have been boring, one sided with no actual insight into the fight its just the same from him everytime, I was really dreading the American commentary but to be fair they were very good and unbiased and got the scoring spot on imo, I don't agree it was 117-111 like one judge but kell made him look very ordinary, I think he gives anybody in the division a fight at home.

    Sky should replace Jim watt with Barry jones. He's the uk answer to malignaggi
