    it will be Adam Smith, who I think does a very good job.

    any idea why its been John Rawling on the last two shows?

    Yes, he's done the darts on sky for a few years since Stelling stopped doing it.

    It's fairly well known why it's been Rawling, isn't it? Ian Darke commentated on the World Cup for ESPN and is presumably on holiday afterwards before the start of the football season, and Dave Darts was at the World Matchplay darts for the previous two FFN's. So Smith has to step in to present, leaving a vacancy for the main commentator. Realistically Rawling and Jim Neilly are the only two other well known 'play by play' boxing commentators in the country, and it's obvious which one to go for.

    There's also David Croft who took over from Rawling on Setanta, but he's busy doing the F1 on 5 live these days.

    I'm just glad a TV channel has got it's own boxing show. As long as it ain't McCrory!

    That's the one. He did the majority of the latter shows which Setanta did their own commentary for.

    Top man Buncey :good:good :lol::lol:

    I've got plenty of shitty ideas for my own amusement like 'Bewes Cruise' (Rodney Bewes tragi-comedy bingo calling on a Baltic ferry) and 'Walking with Beasts' (you interviewing convicted nonces about their life and crimes while walking around the prison yard) if your ever short of inspiration
