    How did I forget!? Benny Ricardo (or whoever that complete spoon is that works for Primetime). God he is abysmal.

    Yep the Colonel can be a right arsehole IMO, Don't care how many world title fights he's done at times i've muted him because of his nonsense.

    I love Dukey, Met the man he's a wonderful gent but the mic isn't for him :lol:.

    Benny Ricardo is another dickhead as well, Sorry but the guy blatantly knows he's chatting **** but will continue with it. Someone should set his perm on fire while he commontates..

    He is the absolute worst of the worst. HE STARTS SHOUTING AS SOON AS THE FIGHT BEGINS.

    Then he gets LOUDER!

    Audley Harrison should do some punditry for Sky, or Boxnation.

    And it really irritates me how 'The Colonel' repeatedly reminds us just how many title fights he has commented on, we get it Bobby boy you're old!

    Thats good to hear about Duke, I've always thought he seemed very decent and genuine (I still think its brilliant that he turned up the other week and did that Boxnation late night broadcast in a tracksuit because he thought he would be recording commentary in a sound booth but was instead in the studio! :lol:

    :deal Absolutely agree!

    I really do like what he has to say and the way he says it, far more than I enjoy watching him fight!

    It may be controversial, but the question was worst commentator? So to me its the main man. None of his co's

    Ian Darke.

    Utter **** of a biased horrible football commentator masquerading as a 'boxing' man. Biased as ****, & ****in DESPISES jock fighters.

    gets his arse kissed on here cos hes basically a fan with a mic, Im in a good mood mood just now cant gun him down as I would when in bitter ***** mode, so I will leave it at that!

    prime example though, shouting down Jim Watt cos he had valuev beating Haye. As a result, Watt being Watt instead of standing up for himself goes into full retreat, & starts making wild claims that he hopes he is wrong & Haye gets the W!
    It was so bloody cringeworthy, that when Haye got the nod, Watt is pretending he is happy when he didnt see Haye doing enough to deserve the win!
    I lost all respect for both of them that night, for differing reasons.

    Darke was truly terrible, stating when hatton knocked out a weight drained no-mark early in his career "take THAT America!"

    Utter **** of a commentator. Scotty Harrison easlily beat Tracy Harris Patterson & scored a wide UD in the US, & this **** had Scotty losing:lol:

    & in Watt style, Glenn McCrory was forcibly agreeing with what he said, as it seemed Ian 'football commentator' Darke was the all knowing boxing commentator all of a sudden!

    Im glad hes gone!

    FOR NOW...

    No doubt after reading what I have just said, there will be a petition to get him back;)

    :lol: Yep it's horrible, I was gutted when my stream for the Martinez fight was Primetime. The arsehole ruined the fight with his stupid comments and noise. It's hard to switch off when he's shouting, and muting it makes you lose atmosphere so your stuck with the guy :-(.

    :rofl:rofl WTF. I don't have Boxnation so didn't see that. Sounds hilarious!.

    I've got to disagree with you there lirva I'm afraid.

    I actually think the complete opposite, for me Jim Neilly is one of the best there is and I actually miss his work! :hey

    I think Neilly is decent as well- that American bloke who did commentary during the Olympics was terrible however. Neilly might be busy quite soon;).
