    Broner is the cringe, I swear I heard angels singing the night Marcos introduced him to his true self.

    British commentators blowing their load over prospects when they are fighting bums.

    yea good call

    honestly uk tv pundits are such casual fans makes me sick, hardcore knowledgable guys should be doing the commentary.

    " HE IS THE REAL DEAL " just beaten a polish cab driver

    Ian Darke is a great commentator and great at football too. If you can't support your own and blow smoke up the ****s of your countrymen then it's time to give up. American commentators don't have this problem because they have to do it to Mexicans and Porta ricans. They do have Andre ward but he has not fought in living memory.

    The uk pundits get paid more for catchphrases and hyping the fighter to the max. It's a big boys club. However there are many good pundits aswell.

    No that's what I hate in the uk boxing scene and I hate the fans that fall for that **** too and blow smoke

    Kell Brook is their latest hero, the guys literally fought 33 cab drivers and hugged his way to a win vs shawn porter to make it 34-0 and they going off like he's SRR

    Probably the publicity stunts promoters pull off. Like Hearn with his '£1.5mill' offer to Frampton. Suggesting to the general public if he doesn't take it he's ducking the fight blah blah blah. Whereas the hardcore fans know the incricies of fight contracts where the can slip in clauses such as 3 fight deals pick of officials, ref etc...

    Hugged his way. Porter burrowed in all ****ing night with his head. I love fighters who fight on the inside but **** me he is a cut waiting to happen. He needs disqualifying in a fight to make him change his ways. And as for kell he is rich making money well you are a sad **** probably poncing of your parents trolling in your bedroom so good luck to kell.

    those using ward as some kind of trump card, or claiming his inactivity is down to others avoiding him.
