:beat:

Jim Watt was lightweight champion of the world and lost his title to Alexis Arguello, he also lost to Buchanan.

Watt gave Valuev something ridiculous like a 5 round streak.

Im not sure if it Jim or Sky because ive noticed in some fights like McDermott vs Fury he only commented on what John was doing most of the time then Rhodes vs Moore he was constantly going on about Moore Rhodes would get 4 punches off and no comment then Moore would land one and it would be great Jab from Moore. Seems like he is always backing the sky fighter or his favourite fighter im not sure but then at end he goes full circle and is great fight from Rhodes fought the right tactics and so on the guy is a turd i say get Jim in the studio and Jonny Nelson ringside

Good point about the McDermott fight.I noticed that as well.:rolleyes:

Bit Off Topic, but does Ian Darke and Adam Smith sound like the same person or is it just me? ;D

They do. I actually called him Adam Dark at one point. It's very confusing,

First things first, i havent seen the fight and going by what some of you say, jim watt called it wrong. But i will say that out of the lot of those guys on sky, piper,nelson, mcCrory, mcGuigan and whoever else, Watt is by far the most knowledgable over the years. Them other guys,although champions at some stage, seem to me to know as much about calling a fight as you or i. I wouldnt listen to half of what they say as being a decent boxer in your day doesnt necessarily make you a great judge. I've no great love for Watt as i still remember, as a kid, his blatant headbutt against Sean o Grady in his world title defence. About 12years back, i bumped into Watt and Reg Gutteridge going to the Ulster hall for a fight and had a good yarn with Gutteridge on the walk round to the Hall. Before i left them i asked Watt if his headbutt was intentional and his exact reply was; "Well what the f**k would you do in my position?". Ha! At least he was honest.

Jim Watt should be sacked... He's such a whiney kunt :mad:

I mean, i expected it from him but he still managed to wind me up!!!

Adam smith is a balloonhead. Its like he is reading ,or has just read, any stats or info. He doesnt seem to know anything about boxing and gives me the impression hes just an ordinary journalist who happened to fall into boxing.Just watch his face when he interviews people.

He seemed to be on Haye's case for doing the opposite of what he predicted. Scoring rounds to Valuev for plodding forward hitting nothing.

I was shouting the same thing at the TV last night. Thank god Ian Darke was using his common sense and basically saying "well, I have Haye ahead". Just heard the radio 5 live commentary and the end was something like this. "Oh and Haye rocks the giant with 45 seconds remaining in the fight, he is going for the grandstand finish. And the fight is over and surely Haye has done enough, Valuev just shakes his head, he knows he's lost".

That is more like the way I saw things, Watt couldn't handle the fact Haye didn't go out there in a blaze of glory trying to blast out someone who had never "officially" been down. Also Johnny Nelson showed he knew Haye's plan better than most, he said before the fight "I think Haye will go out and box a smart fight and win a decision" and I think Dave Clarke said "but what about his KO prediction" to which Nelson replied "I said the same about Carl Thompson, but I never really had it in my mind to KO him". Nelson to me is the only ex-boxer on Sky who talks sense, Watt is always a dick who makes shit up if his predictions don't come true, McCrory makes out he only lost to Lennox because he was only a Cruiserweight? Well in those days Cruiser was 190lbs and he never hardly made it and even when he did get down there he got beaten off rubbish fighters so the beating off Lennox was inevitable. He seems jealous of Haye's success at both Cruiser and HW. And finally Piper was a bit like Watt, he said Haye didn't have the stamina to hit and run for 12 rounds, then after the fight he said "i'm still not convinced of the stamina"?? WTF??

Sky need a change of personell IMO. Keep Nelson and and Ian Darke but the other 3 especially Watt and Piper, are that far up their own arses they won't admit "I was wrong".

Jim Watt and Barry McGuigan have always been the 2 worst scorers of fights imo. I never see any fight anything like either of them. How Jimm Watt gets work as a commentator is beyond me

Watt is a nice guy to speak to and he always has time for a chat with fans to be fair to him.

I just wanted to make that clear to anybody who does not know him.
