    No point even debating it as Darke wins by miles. Dark actually commentates on the fight, whereas Smith talks about trivial things and it can get quite annoying. I lost count the amount of times he mentioned the miracle Wild Card gym during Kotelnik-Khan. Rawling is the best in the UK by some distance, IMHO, though:good.

    Darke>>>>everybody else in the UK

    This is all opinions obviously, but I think he's one of the best Football commentators in the country and much better on Boxing than Smith. Thats not to say Smith hasn't got his place. The occasional times hes presnted the Boxing on Sky he's been very good.

    Darke is much better, and a good footy commentator too.
