    Really need a revamp , I know every one has favourites but for me rather guys not just on aj bandwagon. A barrie Jones mallinaggi or Richie Woodhall or if could push boat out a Tim Bradley is great on comms and honest and has his own opionon

    Froch clueless as ever , okolie just looked utterly ridiculous with that chain and bling rings Didn't offer anything couldnt take serious trying be deontay wilder or something. Macklin just cheerleading aj every punch as if it killed usky , dave coldwell on tactics seriously

    Thought Clarke was very good spoke very well about hrgovic having a off night and is not daft realistic where wants be but is way off that as yet , also aj meltdown as think if he didnt the rest would have been too scared too say anything about there pal aj and brushed it off

    I thought Clarke was really good but Okolie should never see the inside of a studio again.
    Bring back Paulie!

    I bought the event last night and have now seen the entire Sky Box Office broadcast. Anna Woolhouse is just a really good and skilled host who knows what she's talking about. Both Carl Froch and Frazier Clarke made good points along the way and the tactical element was fine. The only one who fell out of the picture was Lawrence Okolie. Barry Jones would be a pleasure to have on board.

    Barry Jones was atrocious recently. What show was it where he was screaming like a little girl and talking 100mph? Malignagi is insufferable too and loves the sound of his own voice.

    Frampton is a top pundit but doubt he’d leave BT.

    I thought Froch was ok last night, especially after the fight he was just honest. Clarke was great all night fair play.

    tim Bradley is a brillant boxing mind, he’s a bit of a company man for top rank but he breaks down fights brilliantly.

    Clarke was great and Froch was decent. Barry Jones should have taken Coldwell's role but fair enough. Okolie brought nothing to the table.

    They could have replaced him with Tasha Jonas, but she has a World Title fight in a few weeks which is probably why she wasn't part of the team.

    Frazer Clarke was very refreshing, surprisingly.

    He wasn't overly biased towards Joshua. He said it how it was and was very engaging in his analysis.

    Froch was dull as dishwater as usual.

    Okolie, the less said about this entitled, ugly, octopus muppet, the better.

    She's a professional presenter that clearly does her job - compared to the likes of Jama for example. Name someone on the Sky roster who would do the production stuff (running the pundit panel, links between fights and ads, filling time when the fights go short etc) any different? As for "box ticking" Sky Sports has always featured women presenters right back since the start. Nothing new.

    Only thing I don't get about Anna sometimes is in loud venues she sometimes struggles to talk over the noise. But that's a production problem.

    A proper professional with knowledge and ability to form his own thoughts like Paul Dempsey, but Sky no longer wants someone of that nature. It wants someone who will read from the script, who sounds a certain way (fake, rehearsed) and who is female with a fake smile. It’s genuinely rubbish.

    She’s crap and offers nothing interesting or insightful, like most of the contributors. When Sky had Dempsey, McCrory, Watt, McGuigan, Piper, Hart, Mason etc each provided value. Instead of being objective the panel and presenters are there to do one job - sell. Woolhouse is no different from a female estate agent who gets given quality leads by the chief and you sit and wonder why. It’s because, to most people. she’s apparently “attractive”, well-rehearsed and has no problem putting on a fake smile. To others, they see right through her and find her pointless. Clearly you are the type to have your pants pulled down by sales people.

    I think Woolhouse is good. Better than Laura Woods.
