Duke Mckenzie - Horrible archaic boxing comments during the Khan fight. Shoe horning into the conversation that he himself was an ex world champ after munroe won his int title. I think I actually prefer Jim Watt and I hate his craic. Rendall Munroe - His post fight interview where he kept referring to himself as Rendall Munroe. His wooly hat and shades combo. Robin Reid - His earring. Andy Kerr - Horrible interviews etc. Paul McCloskey - Lack of punches thrown when he had plenty of chances. Khan's new conditioning coach - Looked scared to be holding a bucket and completely unsure of what to do. Amir Khan's entrance fireworks - Awful.
If you've seen the HBO broadcast of Khan/McCloskey or Berto/Ortiz.. Larry Merchant was terrible. Even worse than normal. Constantly mumbling about nothing. He spent most of the time during Khan's fight talking about some rainbow and pot of gold. 'Bang! Bang! Bang!' Jim Lampley and Cleveland Brown aka Emmanuel Steward weren't on form either last night.
£10 for a fight programme. Poor sound - could barely hear Michael Buffer's ring announcements Crap undercard Premature and unsatisfactory ending to the main event Khan's classless post fight interview
Agree with everything you say except for Andy Kerr - call me nostalgic but he reminds me of the good old setanta days and I like his, slighly under prepared/lack of knowledge style
'We didn't pay to see this referee, he needs to get out of the fight' as the ref splits them from clinches.....later that fight '1 good thing about this ref is he splits them so they can get back to fighting quickly' :nut
Berto's holding - frustrating Though without it...it probably wouldn't have been a FOTY contender as Vic would have knocked him out in the mid rounds.
Lampley has been off form for a while. The first time I really noticed was during Marquez/Katsidis..... but I must admit I like Emmanuel Steward most of the time. Kellerman has really come on recently though.... might be time for him to take the reins full time.
Great call, he was a ****ing wanker! Just below froch's bird on the "people that ruin televised boxing" list.
