    Neither, both are utterly awful at their primary job - calling the fight accurately and helping the audience understand what's going on.

    Ian Darke is the man.

    Feel sorry for Halling they stick him with Jim Watt. They need to get Woodhall as the co-commentator.

    Silence>>>>>>>>Question time>>>>>>>>>>Smith>>>>>>>>Hailing.

    They're both awful at what they do.

    EDIT: Ian Darke is seriously overrated but i'd love him to be the regular commentator over either of the other 2.

    Can't be doing with Nick Halling, misses a lot of the action going on about something which happened a minute ago.

    Darke is the man. I don't mind Rawling but I doubt Sky would let him freelance.

    Anybody not named Nick Halling really. On a sidenote, if Hearn can't fork out the money to get a good MC (Ie. Buffer or Lennon jr ) for a fight the magnitude of Froch-Kessler then he is a cheap ****er. McDonnell shouts, everything!...a good MC is important don't care what anyone says. Its fight night, LIIIIIIIIVE !!! Painful.

    Jim Watt is pissing me off now. He slated Andy Lee and Frampton and it was like he managed the guys, boxing's version of Alex Ferguson!

    Jim Watt needs to go to be a pundit on Ringside. Get Audley Harrison in if the cards in the US as he talks a good game and is likeable (if he cans the World Champion talk).

    Darke or Smith. British boxing is crying out for fresh commentary blood though.
