Thread: If sky had Richie Woodhall...

On the commentary instead of Jim Watt. Who else is with me on this?

I don't like either of them. Woodhall talks some shit at times but he is much better than Watt.

I can't stand Jim Watt.

His sneering and inability to hide his dislike for certain fighters and remain neutral has always been amateurish.

Woodhall is dull, but he talks more sense than Watt and seems like a decent bloke.

I used to like the Ian Darke/Glenn McCrory commentary on Sky. McCrory isn't be best, but they were quite a good combination.

I like Jim Watt generally.

My issue has always been with his scoring, it sometimes feels like he picks his winner before the fight, then he just commentates in favor of that fighter.

But in general his boxing knowledge is brilliant and the way he speaks on tactics and approaches is also very good.

I've been saying for years that Woodhall should be on sky, amazes he isn't.
I don't actually mind Jim Watt though either.
I like Adam Smiths commentary

Duke mckenzie and barry mcguigan are the best.

Richie is not dull at all he's a nice guy take it from me,! I also like Jim nothing wrong at all with him,
he say's what he thinks, and whats wrong with that!.
Jim has the right to say what he likes, as being a former World champion I mean been there done it
weather you like it or not, remember chaps a World Boxing Champion, not a World pie eating champion
some of you guy's loose the plot not a bum a World Champion old Jim was.!!!!!!!!!

Really Tam ? poor timing.


That said Ian Darke should be back with Mcrory/Woodhall/ Smith? Froch etc rotating alongside

Don't care who does the commentary, they all talk cliche/bollocks. The worst the better for me so I can take the piss.

I like Jim, even when he's winding me up by calling what i'm not seeing.

Woodhall is the most bias towards Brits.

Maybe I'm just sick of hearing the Scottish accent ...I'm kidding I'm half Scottish myself so I don't have a leg to stand on

My favourite watt quote is though ''it was bang on the chin'' lol

Nick Halling is dire and Sky need to bin him.

Richie is quality and likable guy so would fit and stay on free TV.

I cant stand Jim. He does no research and is always completely clueless when it comes to any fighter outside of England. Id have Paul Smith in there every day ahead of him. At least he calls it as he sees it.

Totally disagree. I like Nick Halling. Better than Adam Smith who comes across very scripted and false. Ian Darke was always the best but I'll take Halling all day.
