    Just saw that John Rawling is now exclusive to ITV. who should setanta get in too replace him?

    i think the guy who does most friday fight nights on sky, he sounds allot like ian darke. he does most fights but when its a big one the bring back darke. or maybe the irish guy who did the olympics with woodhall and does 5 live.

    I hope they get somebody **** in, otherwise they'll hike up the subscription fees to pay for somebody decent.

    John Rawling leaving? That will be a loss........not.

    I think the eurosport guy is decent - he did the commentary last night I think.

    Yes, and he made a tit of himself whenever he thought an Irish boxer was denied a point. He really went over the top.

    I dont give a ****, so long as its not someone annoying and clueless- which just about covers most of the guys available to them now.

    I know what I am watching, I dont need anyone to analyse it for me.

    Yep, that was going to be my next post.:good

    He didn't impress me at all, once he'd got something in his head he'd commentate the whole fight trying to prove himself right.

    Darke would be my choice but it would be hard to prise him away from Sky.
    Maybe love for the sport would persuade him to swap sides, seeing as Setanta are pissing all over Sky at the minute with the bouts they are showing.
