Jim Watt retires from commentating

I'd say McCrory is fairly straight, Bernard Dunne was decent but got binned quickly after having a go at a Matchroom fighter I remember.

The Matchroom bias needs to be shelved on Sky- it's sometimes embarrassing how much they back the "home" fighter.

 

What did he say?

 

Al Beirnstein. He's super knowledgable.

Anyone but Froch!!

Jim's a legend, sad to see him go. He's been the voice of boxing on sky for what seems like centuries.

 

Was alright ages ago but good decision. Good luck to him

Regardless of what you think of the guy he left his mark... There were definitely times he's made me cringe, but after watching him for so many years I kind of got used to him and in a weird way I'll miss him. Anyways... He wasn't always as bad as people say he is... And chances are if you're a hardcore boxing fan you'll recognize his strong Scottish accent. Godspeed Jim. Enjoy the retired life.

 

Yeah was ashame Mauro went WWE.

Bernstein would be good. His classy.

 

It's about damn time, the last few years he has turned to utter ****e.

 

Ive been thinking and I like the idea of Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge next to Halling :yep

 

Not a Sky man but Richie Woodhall is a top co-commentator,sky have tried quite a few in the last year but they all seem they need massive prompting from either Halling or Smith who themselves are not the best,it will never happen but Darke and Woodhall would be my choice

 

That was truly ridiculous wasn't it?
Are you from Tottenham btw?

 

Woodhall sounds depressed. His voice just isn't right for commentary.

 

I'd like to see more of Audley Harrisson as a pundit or commentator. Speaks well and can ****yse a fight.

 

Sky should poach Barry Jones

 

An excellent commentator and person will be missed always prefer fights with Jim

I hope Paul Smith takes over he is great too

 

I think he was pushed or told he won't be doing much work
