Which UK Commentry & Tv team is better BOXNATION or SKY-SPORTS or Channel 5 or etc?

Hard to say because there's characters on each channel that I like.

Darke/Watt still the best commentary team though and as mentioned above Costello is superb

 

That really shows how clueless you are, both are as bad as each other.

BN are incredibly biased.

 

I was really pissed off with Bunce last night for talking while Alexander was being interviewed. He did the same thing later too with someone else!

 

Rubbish. How dare you say that shows how clueless I am BoxingAnal! :bart

Compared to Sky, Boxnations commentary is on another level, Sky's commentary and team upstairs is drop dead awful, it's on par with HBO, especially when it comes down to calling a fight. Manny Pacquiao won every single round against Timothy Bradley according to them. F*cking get outta here! :scaredas:

Last night we got told Yafai is the next Roy Jones Jr :hey and got bombarded all night about how great "our" Kell Brook and "our" Carl Froch are.

Most of the time I've seen fights on Boxnation, it's been called how I see it also. Perfect examples, Ola Afolabi-Marco Huck 2, and last night Devon Alexander-Randall Bailey and regardless of what people say, I don't mind Bunce or Lillis either, 9 times outta 10 they echo what I say, and I agree with them quite a bit. Much like last night regarding Devon Alexander vs. Kell Brook. People just seem to assume Kell walks the fight. atsch

If that Alexander-Bailey fight was on Sky, you just know Bailey took 5 rounds of Alexander, just like that one f*cking blind judge who scored the fight last night. I didn't give Bailey one round all fight. 1 round he did a bit more, but not enough to pinch the round.

Jim Watt needs to be given the same gold medal as Audley Harrison. Gold medal for brainwashing and while your at giving him that, book him in for an eye test at Specsavers.

 

What you've done there mate is proved that sky is better. Because boxnation tend to agree with you, and let's not mince our words here. You are a prize moron.

 

It dont get worse than Rawling for me, hate his commentary and his ****ing face. C5 with Bernstein is tolerable.

 

And you keep giving your undivided attention to this prized moron? Keep reading, keep replying, your playing my game, your in my territory, on my piece of string. ****. :good

Just another day on the cesspit that can be. ESB. The Eegit Spacker Board. :tired

 

So you're just acting like a moron to prove how clever you are? makes sense.

In all seriousness though, I don't mind a bit of bias every now and then. But there thing that winds me up is when you know a fighter is going to get jobbed because they're in germany or something so the commentary start telling you that they're losing the fight when they clearly aren't. Jim Watt is terrible for that. I remember he had haye 2 or 3 rounds down in the Valuev fight.

 

rawling didn't even know whether to score qullins 2 knockdown rounds 10-8 or 10-7 wtf. how the **** do muppets like these get a job?

 

I laughed at that, I must say. When he said 10-8, I'm there looking at my card thinking, eh? I'm sat here, 10-7? Have I missed summat? WTF is he on about, he lost the round and was knocked down twice, 10-7......Then he said it again later. atsch

Cracking fight though that, best I've seen in a while. N'Dam looked class in parts, but just wanted to scrap to much. I had him 1 up going into the 12th. even after being knocked down 4 times, he took 5 on the bounce and outworked Quillin in a number of rounds, Quillin didn't do a lot other than in the rounds he scored the knockdowns. The last round destroyed all of N'dams work, and on my card, Quillin won it by a point. But of course, with it being in Quillin's home town, he won the fight by about 20 rounds on the judges scorecards. Crazy fight.

I don't like Rawling, but there are some decent ones who call fights on Boxnation.

 

agree when bernstein is here channel 5 - other than that they're all equally shyte

 

Jim watt - bob mede, big night boxing is on when you hear them talk.
Ian Rawlings ok, not sure about his co-commenter, seems abit naff.
Channel 5 ok

 

Ian Darke is overrated, he's poor imo. McGuigan and Watt are both good for the most part but have bad days, Glen McCrory is awful too

Rawling is truly horrendus, Barrie Jones, Enzo Mac and Paul Smith are all decent enough, Jones is the best of the 3 though.

I'm not sure which channel is better for commentary but neither are very good imo.

 

Peoples thoughts on Mike Costello? Is it Mike Costello? Works for the BBC on radio?

I think he was interviewed by Sky on the Brook card Saturday night? I didn't catch the name, but it did sound like him.

 

Costello is superb, but not sure how he'd be on a televised fight (has he done any?) could be like Jonathon Pierce with the football who was awesome on the radio but toned it down too much for T.V and ended up being total ****
