    I had to Cringe when he was interviewing "The Most Important Man In The Arena" the old guy who was dealing with the gloves as I think if I remember correctly that is where the whole "toilet" issue started

    **edit**

    Oh Crap He's Back on

    He didn't get the interview! He didn't even try, he just said, "Oh they'll be ages" or something similar.

    What a numptie!

    Absolutely delighted for Thaxton but hope Melero is okay.

    Amateur but amusing presentation by ITV4 - had to giggle at some of the backstage clips and interviews in between fights from that converted cowshed!

    Just like Warren shows with the BevKev guy and Gary "Great Bridden" Logan, the announcer is getting more press than the boxers.

    Nobody spoke about the Hayemaker MC, why, because he was a professional, just like John McDonald hardly gets a mention.

    FFS, why do these promoters not see that a crap MC really ruins the presentation of the show.

    That MC was one of the worst I've seen. He rivals the baldie that Warren uses and the Mexican guy from the Diaz-Campbell and Maskaev-Peter card. He was really shite.

    I'm sure that bald guy was in Eastenders for a while. A rival market trader or something.

    Hahaha that was a bit ambitious wasn't it? More like the hundreds watching inside a cow shed in a field somewhere in norfolk, and the few thousand watching itv 4. I agree with what everyone said about that half wit "backstage" interviewer, poking Junior Witter, asking the boxer about the toilets, cutting the other boxer off mid setence, it was a farce, Alan Partridge indeed.

    Agreed Arnie, Froch told it how it was. Particulary agree with his ideology on Khan at the end too.

    No malice, just sense.
