Well then **** off and watch adverts and be happy with that , personally i like to hear whats going on in the corner and i couldnt give a **** about Sky's profits , the corner advice and fighters reactions is a huge part of the show and we miss it for crap adverts of a fat ******* in the shower looking to hug some poor skinny ****er ......................
Of course its biased towards the British fighter; do you think people have tuned in to see some unknown foreigner? Facts are, Darke is the best we have and you're complaining about him being a "too familiar of a voice" - how long do you think the likes of Lampley and Merchant have been with HBO?
I preferred Setanta's coverage of boxing, but who didn't? It was a one-off luxury that won't come around for a long time - as it is, we'll still be asking the same questions and having the same complaints about Sky in ten years time.
HBO have a large team each bringing something different to the party , Lampley , Kellerman , Steward , Leterman , Lewis etc etc they bring a different dimention each and dont lavish undue praise on all the Americans , they say what they see , Mexican , British , American what ever they praise good boxing and dont critisise for no apparent reason other than the fact the guy in question is British and therefore has a God given right to win the fight and look awesome doing so if not its the end of the world . Oh and then we have good old Darke & Watt , backed up by Nelson and McCrory with the odd cameo from Piper mate we need a make over its embarrasing .
Hes a ****in football commentator, THATS whats wrong with him. Get a real boxing man in to do the job, thats what I preach. Football commentators doing the boxing commentary like its a nice little earner on the side... Im not happy with that.
Darkes boxing knowledge is starting to wear a bit thin im baffled by some of the things he comes out with at times. As for Jim Watt, that guy wants to just keep his mouth **** i've had serious dislike for the guy for some time now and thats purely down to the **** he comes out with during a fight, some of his scorecards are shocking too.
