    There were definitely a bit biased towards Bradley but that was deserved he was brilliant. He controlled the tempo, landed the cleaner and harder shots.

    Plus, he's probably a future fight for Brook so they might have been going from that angle.

    I dont think they were that bad, the clearly favoured Bradley but he was making Marquez look pretty ordinary and they did mention the crowd were cheering on every punch thrown from Marquez so they didnt really need to say much and infact there wasnt too much to say.

    Right but say a team like Manchester United get a goal against Newcastle that should have been disallowed, that you would not normally notice the cameras and Sky will pick up on it. In boxing for example, I wittnessed Maidana get docked a point vs. Khan for a minor a foul and then Khan committ the same foul and the commentry said nothing.

    That is just one example.

    Both the football teams mentioned are in the Premier League and are "English" in their origins.

    In the boxing you are watching a British fighter vs an Argentinian. It is not remotely the same.

    The sky coverage of Champions leagues games is equivalent and you might get odd comment here or there which you dont agree with but ive never watched and thought of clear bias throughout.

    Similair to games on ITV, england and Champions league.

    Commentary, not punditry as ITVs are a joke.

    Completely agree with everything you said, I had Marquez by a point but it wasn't a robbery

    You clearly don't listen to the commentary. I can find multiple examples of commentators going mental when the English side has scored.

    You don't think ITV are biased? **** me Clive Tydesley has his United top hidden underneath his shirt most weeks.

    If during a match an english team are being outplayed or the opposition score ive heard many a tactical credit go to the non british team. Its one thing the commentators supporting the British team but they dont continually dress up a performance to be so much better than the oppositions when the match is clearly very different.

    If anything the British team get dressed down for being unspectacular and credit give to whoever for making them play that way.

    I certainly dont remember listening to stuff and thinking 'This i shocking' like i did with the Bradley v Marquez fight anyway

    Yet others thought the commentary was fine. It's subjective.

    Thats like saying anything is subjective as ask enough people and you will find someone who disagrees with the majority.

    Take Bradley v Pac decision for example.

    You said Sky were biased towards Burns in ther commentary against Beltran, the Bradley stuff was similair though not quite as bad, you just dont have the hate/issue for either Marquez or Bradley like you do Burns and Nelson

    No need, your argument is ridiculous. Most people think the commentary was biased, just because your trying to, for some reason, wash that away with the broadest line possible doesnt change it haha

    You just like to argue, we get it.
