    I have never heard a skysport telecast but from going by this forums posters its not hard to imagine they would take this.

    However out of Showtime and HBO its no contest.

    HBO is horrible being biased with their fighters. Last example was Gary Russell Jr. Oh my god were they getting annoying...

    During the 5th round of the fight when Wlad threw at Haye when he did that Matrix thing on the ropes, Haye got up and threw 3 or 4 punches at Wlad causing him to retreat momentarily to the ropes

    Barry McGuigan: This is how haye response when he's hurt, true warrior!


    :lol:

    Great example.:lol: I understand the guy's handspeed is amazing but they were also saying how he had great power. He was landing at will on his opponent (who was ****) with power shots all night yet he couldn't even knock the dude down or even wobble him. He's only KO'd 10 of the 18 people he's fought. Clearly he is not very powerful.

    And Miranda actually isnt even one of those hard chinned journeyman either. He is fairly weak chinned. I was expecting him to stop him with all the hype he is getting.

    This kid will not go far. He will probably pick up a title but the guys like John, JML, Gamboa, Garcia and Salido would spark him. He would need to become alot more elusive and smooth to stay elite longer.

    The kid is not the goods and by listening to HBO you would think this guy is an ATG already.

    Can't comment on who's more biased, they each are in their own way, and towards certain fighters. However I can say of the Sky telecasts of big fights I've seen, they offered a much more enjoyable viewing experience than their American counterparts, especially those sour and opinionated ****s at HBO.

    Watching Sky's version of DLH-Mayweather, it's actually seems like a great fight and they manage to keep you engrossed in the action all 12 rounds, even when there wasn't much going on. I recommend anyone who hasn't seen it to try and watch it and see what I mean.
