    21 mins and they are just off the weekend stinkfest.

    No other way to describe it - it was a total stinker.

    1 min would have been enough including the apology and a refund announcement for all the mugs who paid PPV

    I think the so called 'fight of the century' deserves 21 minutes of talk time on a boxing talk show.

    FFS The Birmingham Bill is now exciting according to the Sky Ringside mob :patsch

    'Yes it is so Exciting' (Kell Brook)

    Speak the truth - shocking card full of one sided cans FFS

    This programme degenerates into a bigger pile of shyte by the week.

    Bit of advice Punter, if you don't like it and are going to moan about it, then simple, don't watch it.

    Yes, the richest fight ever just happened at the weekend, and boxing discovered it is still respected across the world. Twenty minutes discussing that seems fair to me.

    Then you know SKY is going to hype the fights it is showing, that is the point of the programme...

    Yes the show is about reviewing the week before show and then building up the next card on SKY that is a given.The biggest money fight ever was always going to be reviewed in depth good,indifferent or bad.

    The question for me more the general week to week content especially on weeks where there are no live SKY shows.

    The last season revisiting the UK & Irish fighters that have given great entertainment made for better segments in the shows.

    Ringside in a nutshell:

    Nelson fluffs his lines.
    Smith says 'Fascinating'.
    Bob Mee talks about someone who died in 1777.
    They push the latest MR show to the hilt.
    Nelson shadowboxes with a guest.
    The young new guy gets sent to an amateur gym in Swindon etc.
    Pointless guest gets brought in (i.e. Anthony Joshua to talk about a domestic Lightweight clash).
    Ed has an iPad glued to his hand.
    Ed does a poll with said iPad in hand.
    Ed reveals results of said poll in said iPad in said hand.
    Nelson fluffs his lines.
    Smith says 'Fascinating' again.
    Mention of a death.

    That's about it.
