I found myself watching a re-run of Benn vs Eubank 1990 on Sky last week. It was a pleasure to be back in the company of Reg and Jim. They added to my enjoyment and understanding of the fight rather than seeking to manipulate it. Yes, it's a shame he's not been able to make the transition, but the reason he got the job to begin with was his consistent high levels of performance with boxing on Radio 5. He knows and loves the sport and on the radio I like his commentary. Hopefully he can find a place there again.
Costello couldn't adapt from radio to TV, I remember Hearn raving about him signing with DAZN at the time he moved him over to TV.
