    Great Insight.

    Watt is one of the best things about Sky's coverage imo. His whole "HIS LEGS ARE GONE" routine is laughable sometimes but he's very knowledgable and a good commentator

    I wish they'd get rid of McCrory and Nelson to be honest, get some relevant pro's/ex pro's on there

    Jim Watt is a great commentator, good guy and was an excellent fighter.

    Watt's great. He makes a lot of gaffes but has a great voice and a good heart.

    I like Watt, but he's occasionally told to "**** off!" when the fighter I want to win is getting a beating and he's rubbing salt in the wounds.

    The weak link is Johnny.

    Johhny comes across as a nice fella but you need more than that and Watt's got more. Watt's one of the better British fight commentators out there. Bags of evxperience and knowledge which makes him really insightful.

    He says far too much and rattles on about a certain aspect of the fight which then leads him to have to try and cover his ass about everything happening as he focusses to much on one point and fails to notice other things.

    Case in point, he was chatting away during Derry-Rees and Rees was dominating, hurting Derry, he slows down to have a look at Derry and pick a shot so Jim, too busy talking jumps to the (clearly wrong) conclusion that Rees has shot his bolt. Soon enough Rees lays Derry out.

    Overall his knowledge and experience is top class but he talks far too much.

    i like many watch Sky because of the fights not whos commentating or presenting, sumtimes i want to press the mute button,i like the American who does Channel 5,McCrory is a pain in the rear end listening to him as if hes regurgitating, Nelson is ok but just tries too hard at times trying to make fights more exciting, and Watt has been there a long time but is good to listen to IMO, Gutteridge was the man:p:p

    McGuigan is the worst studio guest, he talks over everyone else. I like Watt, he tells it how he sees it and is unbiased.
