    Do you think the commentary team will have any space left for their mum's Christmas turkeys after all that ass licking of Charlie Edwards?

    The fix is in, it's quite obvious where the decision is going. This is the reason why I refuse to pay for any PPV from SKY.

    To be fair apart from Macklin the rest of Sky pundits scored it very close.


    I didnt it have that close, I had Edwards winning clearly on points.

    It was close, with Edwards probably winning it. I understand commentators would be slightly in favour of their own fighters, but these SKY goons take it completely over the top. Constant, non-stop biased commentary really kills the atmosphere. And when this happens, I already know who will get the decision regardless of what actually happens in the ring. It's for this reason I will not buy a SKY PPV anytime soon.

    I can't stand any of the Sky commentary team, particularly Carl Froch with his scoring of 10-10 rounds so frequently. Sky PPV is overdone tosh. BT Sport is worse. If I can watch a card on a US stream I would, I only pay for Sky because of supporting the fighters.

    Joshua needed to keep a lid on it after the ring confrontation, come a cross like a plank !

    I like AJ but that reeked of somebody who is used to walking in a room and everybody shutting up and listening to him because he is in charge, he is the main man.

    As soon as Whyte didn't want to listen any longer and walked off, AJ's mood changed dramatically and it went from Mr Diplomacy to Mr Roadman LOL

    Whyte would be a huge underdog but one thing is for sure he will get under Joshua's skin and it would be interesting to watch.

    He kept controlling or trying to control what Adam Smith was saying too, "lets not talk about that " I heard a few times, when it was perfectly reasonable questioning. I also think him and Hearn have a strained relationship behind the scenes where Joshua wears the pants !

    Imo Joshua doesn't get up from the shot Whyte caught Del Bot with neither. People saying Whyte cant punch are stupid, that left hook is evil !

    He can't take a great shot though and would likely be out of there early.

    Fatigued he cant(aint that common) but I don't really see a chin problem to be honest. I know Fury stands him on his head though !

    Maybe intimidation, seriously I sense that with him. Joshua would think Hearn is robbing him whatever the cut !

    Sky's best pundit is Pauli but they seem to use him sparingly when it comes to round by round commentary. BT are even worse, they have Ian Darke on their payroll but insist on using Rawling and Jones and leaving Darke to stick to football, which is a real shame because IMO he is boxing historian and defiantly one of the best I've ever heard
