Man i hate that guy he rambles on about aimless jibberish.
A fight will start he will go into horse racing mode 1,000mph then start rambling about how the fighter had it tough where he was born his first kiss type of thing then shout o a lovely left hook when its clear to us all it was a right cross that landed.
Sir John of Rawling please fuk off our teles!
I don't really have a problem with Rawling.
But you are right about him calling action that isn't happening. Quite shocking really.
I put this down to him spending years as a radio comm. Obviously you can call a left hook a straight right on the radio - and no one's the wiser.
Fenster whys that:lolhaha:
He's no Duke McKenzie on the mic. Duke is God.;D
Duke McKenzie is top quality i agree.I mean his thrases are top draw....."Right up the pipe!"is me favourite of his:D.Quote:

His "He's gone, the kids gone" is music to my ears especially as half the time the boxer is fine.;D

Ha,ha,ha!He's great is'nt he:D.
Remember this one from Duke during Calzaghe Vs Lacy........"One more,and it's thank you GOODNIGHT!" great!!!:lickish:;D
I dont hate John, i pitty him. He is shite!
He just bores the F**k out of me when he talks.
John Rawling cant be that bad!I think he is okay.His thrase of...."This aint a tea party!!"was really funny.Give him some credit he is funny sometimes,which aint too bad!Im not to fussy on some American comintators:(
Rawlings is ok...
...it's the fact he's in Fwank's pocket that gets me.
Him and Barry together.
What has tickled you so much, Scrap? ;DQuote:

I know, it cracked me up thinking about it.
Like Michael O Muireahurtaigh, a famous Irish commentator.
He was always a GAA comentator, but they put him in charge of a soccer game last minute.
Michael was really surprised by the short notice- sure he knew the Irish team, but he never ever saw the opposition play - In fact he knew only one of the opposiong players names!
On that Day Sanchez had the best game of any player ever. He was heard to be the general of the defending, dominating midfield, leading the attack and scoring:) LoL
I quite like rawling, guaranteed he's not 1 of the best commentators but some of his daft sayings are hilarious even though he doesnt mean them to be. I like Richie Woodhall commentating too & obviously Duke is quality. Some of the american commentators get on my nerves, i dont reallty think it works having 3 commentators.

Khan v Gomez
Rawling - "Oh Gomez is taking Khan into deep waters now"
VERY excited Duke - "JOHN he's trying to take him to the middle of the lake and drown him"
:lolhaha:
So you like the phrase "UP THE PIPE" eh Yvonne:-X
ITV and Setanta both suck comentary wise. The only good thing ITV have is Duke and Setanta Buncey.
Sky were great back in the day...Dempsey, McCrory, Oliver and Barry along with Nicky Pipper. Darke and Jim Watt are awesome together too.
I hate that new guy who presents now, he does the darts aswell.
Glen and Ian Dark were my favorate.
I also think the American commontators are entertaining if not always right.:p
McCory and Smith are the best as Smith is a boxing commentator.
Ian Darke is a jobbie.
I think Mr "O lovely shot" and "theres no method to what hes doing" and "Yer his legs have gone Ian" is a tit.
Jim Watt and Reg Gutridge, anyone remember them?
Pretty good.

Yeh Reg and Jim on ITV were a class act - plenty of great nights of boxing aswell. Happy Days.

Gutridge used to always say "the ego has landed" every time Eubank jumped over the ring ropes.
Watt is good in the studio but awful ringside IMO.
Yes, excellent combination. Reg's book is a good read.Quote:
