Last night, whilst I found it hard to concentrate on Haskins and Broadhursts attempt at boxing, I found myself laughing for most of it due to Ian Darke's commentary. Some of his quotes - "Well that was one of the worst rounds of boxing I have ever seen" " Some of these rounds are close to a nil nil draw" "This might be a draw, just as long as there isn't a rematch" "Surely nobody will ask for a rematch" "We've got a fights of the year rogramme on New Years Day, I'm sure this won't feature"
He sounded like he was pissed off at having to commentate on the utter dross on display. If he'd tried to talk it up then I think I'd have turned it off.
Sir Darke has a dark side surfacing. I'm expecing a ruler across the knuckles for his honesty. Well done. Adios.
They'll probably draft you in instead Steve. You're more of the kinda "Yes" man that Sky are looking for, the kind that will tow the party line.:smooch
I bet he was wishing he and Adam had switched places, mind you Darke does a lot more commentary on the football these days so I guess he can't go all over the place covering the big events nowadays. He sounded apologetic throughout last night.
Dont forget his comment right at the end of the fight ''this was like a night of sitting listening to the talking clock'' quality comment
Only darke's brilliant commentary. All the fights were awful, bar Edmonds v Power after the main event which was decent. Not worth going out of your way to watch though.
I can't believe I forgot that one!!! What I found crazy was that I sent my mate a text which was almost the same as his coment about fights of the year, two minutes befor he said it!!!
Was a quality statement!! the fights on again just now on sky sports xtra ive got it on but only listening to the commentary again!!
