The Adam Smith Debate: Is He Too Camp To Host Boxing?

**** thread. Wouldn't read again

 

better than the hbo team anyday

 

the missus stated he talks and acts weird.

must be something he learned at that private school!

 

there is no denying he is a lickle bit camp and you get the impression jonny nelson is his david furnish.
my main gripe is his commentary where he speaks in that voice that sounds like the fella that does the voice overs on video trailers.

 

like a young larry merchant

 

anyone got the clip with him and Frank Bruno at Ringside for the Haye-Fraudley fight?

think Bruno called him gay did he not!?

 

Na, Bruno was asked who he thought would win. He said (paraphrasing) 'I fancy Harrison...but not in that way...I'm not gay.' Talk about overcompensating.

Must admit I don't like Smith. Find him creepy and hate the forced way of speaking that everyone in Sky has; making effort to emphasise every word. The amount of cliches he uses too, tries far too hard.

 

he seems to give you a weird look right through the tv screen into your livingroom whenever he stops speaking. Makes me shudder.

 

virtually every non boxing fan i have watched fights with have made a negative comment on him.

he has been a thorn in the arse of british boxing fans for years.

 

"They have trained so very, very hard"

atsch

of course they have mongtard otherwise they wouldn't be putting it on the line and still willing to keep going.

 

:rofl:rofl

 

This is scrapping the barrel trying to discredit a man who cares deeply about the sport of boxing. Leave the man alone. This is poor. Take it to the general with the other wankers

 

X2 I cant say im a big fan of Smith, but ****ing hell the bitching about the commentators and pundits, American, british or otherwise, is annoying. If the fans feel that way about them, they should turn the volume off, instead of bitching and whining all the time:gayfight
