    Just a debate I've been having about how overly biased I feel Skysports are toward British fighters. Some are making the accusation that it might not be any worse than the American telecasts, do you agree, disagree?

    I 'm not a fan of Sky Sports Commentry. So many times in a major event they manage to moan like old men about something, decide after a couple of rounds who's going to win. Moan about the other fighter not doing anything right. And Pretty much kill any Drama for the fight.

    I'm not familiar enough with Skysports but give a solid opinion but I do think HBO is more bias than Showtime.

    Sky boxing commentators are terrible. They come across like cluless casual fans, apart from Jim Watt. And yes, terribly biased towards British fighters, as with Sky commentators for every Sport.

    Sky sports when it comes to British fighters. Listen to Amir Khan vs. Prescott. From the start they dont give Prescott any credit, even when Khan is on ***** street and later on his back.

    Never seen Sky but Showtime is the least bias.

    You know, why do I get the impression some of the votes for HBO are Brits trying to even it up, is there any wonder Sky cultivate their show around the nationalism of majority of British fans? How predictable can we be? We allowed Haye to get away with what he did due to blind nationalism.

    Take a look at that, I don't think it sounds biased?

    Sky are biased with football, not sure so much with boxing

    The British people on the other hand, are flat out stupid

    But then again the Poles did think Adamek would KO Vitali :yep

    Haven't seen a fight on Sky so can't speak on them. Between HBO and Showtime, HBO is way more biased, the main reason being Larry Merchant.
