    He was great last night. I just wish he'd use the same attitude when commentating on Brit fighters.

    Take it you missed his commentary of Haskins/Broadhurst? Also pretty sure that he commentated on Small vs McDonagh where he also slated them.

    When Cintron was being wheeled into the ambulance out the back, I was expecting The Undertaker or Shawn Michaels to jump out on him back stage, disguised as a paramedic and start 'pounding away'...although that's probably a bit harsh on WWE which is much more believable...

    Just hugely embarassing for the sport.

    Darke is top drawer and I thought Nelson did alright actually!

    :lol:

    I thought at the time that it was something out of WWE or something. The whole thing was ****ing bizarre. I was actually laughing in disbelief. Glad I didnt stay up and watched it on Sky+ when I got up instead.

    They might aswell have used Marshmallow tubes instead of ropes, the amount of good they did. Nice dive by Cintron though.

    why were the ropes not tied together behind the banners/ribbons

    did cintron know they were missing if so yes he took a dive but if he didnt then how can you suspect fowl play

    I'm not sure what to suspect. As someone else said earlier, why would Cintron take a dive when he'd just rocked Williams with his best punch of the fight?

    But then again, if it wasn't a dive, why didn't he just get up and get on with it because if you watch it, he doesn't fall awkwardly, didn't really hit himself hard on anything so why didn't he just get up and get on with it? If he bumped himself, fine, but I'm sure he's been hit a lot harder in every fight he's been in.

    I think Vince McMahon was involved.

    Whatever, it was a bad night for boxing.

    Nelson was okay but he didn't say much, I know its not radio but Darke would say something, pause presumably waiting for Nelson's input, then carry on talking when Nelson didn't reply.

    The weird thing about it was I thought Cintron looked like he stood a good chance of KO'ing Williams. He came close to clocking him with a few counter hooks but he ruined it by faking injury IMO.
