At the end of Morales-Maidana he said he was scoring for Morales with his heart. ;D At least he admitted the bias.
As in Hearns giving & Roldan taking? ;DQuote:

Watt is a twat.
I think British commentators on the whole seem worse than the Americans when it comes to the 'finding a theme early and sticking to it' thing. Watt is the worst for this though. A few good jabs land in round 1 from a fighter and you can be sure that even in round 12 we will be hearing about how the jab has controlled the fight etc.Quote:

As long as we don't have to listen to Duke McKenzie it's all good
Oi, thats my dad you're talking about.Quote:

Jim Watt is an expert after the event !
Ian Darke left Sky to commentate on Premier League games for the US market, I didn't realise that e had been retained for the boxing until Sunday Morning.
I prefer John Rawling, but Darke's OK. It's probably time Jim Watt retired though, not that I'm sure who should replace him. I quite liked John Thaxton on the one fight I heard him on ITV4 (?).
I want someone to call the fight as it happens punch for punch , they can talk crap between rounds , most pundits just fucking witter on .Quote:

In a whiny Scottish accent of course.
