    I wish we had a Teddy Atlas or Al Bernstein over here.

    They wouldn't let us have a character like that over here on Sky. They need people to tow the line.

    I used to really enjoy Bunces boxing hour on Setanta. It was a great show that worked really well. I dont have Boxnation as far as iam aware its a 6 month contract which i dont really want to sign up for in case it dies a long slow drawn out death and i resent paying Frank money for mediocre fight by and large which should be on Sky just because he seriously messed up his business plan.
    Ringside is ok. A lot of the features are genuinely interesting and you can tell they really want to make a good show. Adam Smith has improved a bit but isnt a Tv presenter which is a shame. He is probably a nice guy and does his best but really shouldnt be presenting a television programme. Johnny Nelson is again a nice guy, safe pair of hands , wears a suit well but is basically the Gary Lieneker of boxing programme presenting . He's almost too nice and a bit bland.
    Nelson and Barry Mcuigan seem to work well together and balance each other out it would be interesting to see them given a chance presenting.

    Ringside is the best boxing show on TV.

    Unfortunately, Bunces Boxing Hour might as well become a radio show. I'd much rather Bunce invite 1 or 2 fighters each week and they discuss all the topics for the week and have a mini interview.

    As a show its fine, the features are interesting and informative and it has good guests.

    Adam Smith is knowledgable and assured and i would keep him presenting it.

    However, Nelson hasn't improved one bit since its inception and needs to **** off. Big boring Glenn has to go as well.

    Needs more of jamie Moore and Spencer Oliver and a ton more of McGuigan.
