Johnny Nelson and Glenn McCrory

Jim ****t takes it to another level with his senile drivel on commentary.

That old fool had Quigg two up.

 

Then suddenly had Frampton one up at the end

 

Watt and Froch contradicted themselves with their scoring. Khan tried to sit on the fence.
Strange to criticise Nelson and McCrory when they saw it as it was.

 

Froch was blatantly towing the Matchroom line.

 

Carl Froch should be giving award acceptance speeches at the Oscars. He came out with an essay ****ysing who could win the fight only to at the end say "only because it's a safe bet.... Carl Frampton".

 

Sky's boxing punditry and commentary lags way, way behind the other sports they cover. McCrory and Nelson have been offering zero insight for decades between them, Nick Halling simply can't keep his mouth shut for longer than five seconds before the urge to say something overwhelms him, no matter how witless or irrelevant it may be.

It doesn't have to be this way, Ian Darke could surely be tempted to work the big PPV shows for Sky. Jim Watt still has a lot to offer for me, but along side a polished professional like Ian Darke, not a ranting, rambling moron like Halling. Gary Lockett should get a few calls from Sky to do punditry, a writer like Ron Lewis would be welcome.

The people covering boxing for Sky have become far too comfortable, and I don't think I've ever heard Nelson, McCrory or Froch say anything of interest or originality.

 

Basically just a pair of chilled out pundits.

 

Id like to see Ian Darke and Jim Watt doing the commentary,

McCrory is ok , Nelson ok, Froch just talks too much, I actually do like Khan's input when he's on.

 

Nelson thrives when he is in the studio and is being asked the questions.

When he was doing that and he'd have two/three guests around him, he'd be untouchable. That's his role, holding the mic etc and being in charge isn't.

 

I think Nelson does a great job
Hes excellent on the gloves are off

 

Nelson asking froch last night his final prediction was ridiculous, he rambled on for 5 minutes about nonsense then just picked frampton.

Froch got the gig clearly because of his assocation with matchroom which would be fine but he has always made it quite clear throughout his career that he was'nt a fan of boxing? He is one of those guys who excelled at a sport but didn't follow it at all, whenever he's asked about a fighter he will say 'Iv not seen much about him' or 'from what Iv seen' is a favourite line of his. I don't care if your a 10 weight world champion if you don't follow the sport how can you be a pundit after your careers over?!!!

Jamie Moore was a good pundit very passionate about the sport but never gets a look in on the big shows to make way for clowns like froch.
