Jim Watt needs to stay

Agree, i said it on another thread, legend, great bloke and Commentator.

STAY for sure

 

:goodwell said mate

 

For ****s sake, stop using logical and balanced argument, you'll just confuse him

 

Strange.. I didn't see such a huge reaction when Bunce claimed that Froch beat Dirrell??

 

Jim should saty he is by far the best , and gets right into it, legend,

 

I watched it in a bar so couldnt hear the commentary. His score card was a joke though.

I've never been a big fan of Watt's commentary though generally. I dont think he adds that much really and his voice grates on me a bit. He's not as bad as Thaxton was in the Super Six but there are much better out there.

 

Jim Watt is not a human being.

 

jim watt is an ex world champ.he stays

 

It's nonsensical the criticism he is getting. Immediately when the result was announced he said "this is great for Haye and for British boxing".

He was just cautious when commentating, as Haye barely threw a punch and was fighting in Valuev's backyard.

 

I thought he was WAY OFF with the scoring, but during the fight didn't Darke say all 3 back in the studio (McCrory, Piper, McCrory) had Valuev IN FRONT, and that was after, what, 8 or 9 rounds ???

Can anyone confirm that, or did I mishear what they were saying ?

 

On the whole I quite like Jims commentary, but he had a very BAD night on Saturday IMO

 

I can forgive the dreadful scoring, because every one sees things differently and that's part of the subjective nature of boxing. What I can't forgive is Watt giving Haye no credit for confounding his expectations and for simply winning.

He could have just said: "While I don't agree with the scoring, I have to commend Haye for a sensible performance and for winning away from home."

But he had to complain that Haye didn't deserve it. Very poor.

 

His commentary in Mayweather v Marquez that did my head as opposed to Saturday. I like PBF, but Watt was slevering on as if he's the second coming of SRR.
