John Rawling is an awful commentator

I suppose we all have personal preferences. But Darkey for me knows enough to keep the hardcore happy, and at the same time educates the mainstream punters.
Rawling, considering he has been in boxing for the same amount of time as Darke, just doesn't show the same knowledge when commentating and dumbs things down too much. He hardly thinks for himself, and waits for his co-commentator to have an opinion on the fight there are watching before voicing his own. A lot of the time i wonder if i am watching the same fight as him.
I think he gets the amount of work he does purely on how his voice sounds. Because it ain't because of his boxing knowledge.
Incase your wondering, yes i have a big problem with Rawling. He actually spoils my enjoyment of the fights. Comes across as a nice man, but a boxing commentator he is not.
Ian Darke is so much better than him it's untrue.

 

My personal Rawling favourite was during the Fegatilli Foster jnr fight
