The Steve Bunce boxing hour sticky!

Ok as his weekly Setanta show is going from strength to strength (last thurs he had Calzaghe,Jones,Pavlik and Popkins all being interviewed) and now has a prime time repeat slot i think it's time we saluted the UK's best and most lively pundit...
This thread will have news on forthcoming guests etc and is somewhere we can discuss the views expressed by those involved in this Brilliant hour long boxing show.:cool:
Feel free to add clips or links to anything regarding his show and hopefully one day we can try and get an interview ourselves out of him!

This Thursdays show includes..

Setanta Sports News’ boxing magazine programme, Steve Bunce’s Boxing Hour, has an action packed line-up this week. On Thursday from 2pm Buncey will joined by some of Great Britain’s best up and coming boxers. Carl Froch will join the show live from the Liberty Gym in Nottingham. Froch will be previewing his December 6th bout for the WBC Super Middleweight world title against Canada’s Jean Pascal. Light heavyweight boxer Clinton Woods, who has been off the circuit since his defeat at the hands of Antonio Tarver last April, will be speaking to Buncey about where he takes his career next..

Former ABA Champion John Watson will be reviewing his performance at last weekend’s Hayemaker Promotion’s show in Sheffield. Watson, tipped as ‘one to watch’, knocked out Nigeria’s Geoffrey Munika in the opening round.

Viewers who miss the 2pm showing of Steve Bunce’s Boxing Hour on Setanta Sports News can watch the repeat on Thursday night at 9pm on Setanta Sports 2 or at 11:30pm on Setanta Sports 1.

Steve Bunce - Setanta Sports

I just got Setanta sports (Canadian version) so ill be checking out his show soon.

It's a great show...enjoy and welcome to the forum:cool:

Is there anywhere were you can watch past episodes ?

youtube...tell you what you can post em up for me;)

First showing is Today at 2pm Setanta Sports news channel:cool:

Cheers for the heads up Smash, I have Setanta but rarely watch anything live always downloading their stuff from WBVA.

I never knew it was on Setanta news and so will look forward to tuning in to it in 10 minutes.

I agree Buncey's show is getting better and better and it's great to have an entire 1 hour show devoted to boxing in general and British boxing in particular.

I also like how he's not afraid to speak his mind and even talks about fights on Sky and other non Setanta channels rather than pretend they don't exist like most pundits on rival channels.

good stuff.

Brilliant show ;)
Did you catch it? Think it's repeated around now or 21.30 on Setanta 1:cool:

absolutely. that would be great. the number of stories youd hear

Buncey show was great today. He said Manny Pac and Hatton will eventually fight. Taylor's people are afraid to fight Froch because he is the HBO meal ticket and Magee v Dodson is on 28th March. That is going to be a busy day as Skelton will be fighting Rogan.

Can anyone explain Darren Sutherland's accent? :confused:

Weird one isn't it?

I'm pretty sure he spent a good few years in Sheffield. But it's more like a Dublin-American-Caribbean mixture :-\

While they were in Dublin for the show they held a press conference with the Irish press. It had the local media in and was filmed for Maloney Promotion's youtube channel YouTube.com/MaloneyPromotions).

The first video features the Q and A with the press and is available here in HD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmBwn...e=channel_page

The second is a one-on-one interview with Sutherland and a comment from Maloney and is also available in HD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePIhW...eature=channel

Darren is training under the stewardship of Brian Lawrence, who also trains the European Bantamweight champion Ian Napa, who defends his title on March 20th. He's a really slick fighter who also deserves a look and a lot more press than he gets, here's an interview of him in HD, which was filmed just before Sutherland's first professional fight in December: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z891v...eature=channel

The accent seems pretty normal to me. But I live in Brixton with tons of mixed up accents all around so I guess I'm just numb to it.

Stefan

gotta admit his acent reallt confused me maybe he is from the moon or summit

Hes the Irish version of Paulie Mallinaggi !!!!

That is one mixed up accent, he sounds a bit new yorkish with a Irish twang.;D

Manny Paqs Scottish accent on this weeks show was the best thing since Hopkins blew his top.

That was quality;D

"I'm William Wallace from Scotland"

Seems a right good laugh does Manny :cool:

Carl Froch in the studio today:cool:

19/3/09

Today's show is a middleweight special and we will speak to, amongst others, British legends Michael Watson and Alan Minter.

Watson took part in epic battles with Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank in the early 1990s before winning his biggest fight to recover from a brain haemorrage.

Minter was the undisputed middleweight champion in 1980 before being unfortunate enough to run into the great Marvin Hagler.

On the current world scene, Top Rank will let us know the situation concerning Kelly Pavlik and whether a fight with Arthur Abraham is on the horizon. We will also speak to Abraham's promoter Kalle Sauerland.

We will also hear from new British middleweight champion Matt Macklin after his dramatic victory over Wayne Elcock and Irish contender Andy Lee.

We will also discuss what is next for Amir Khan, hearing his thoughts on Saturday's victory over Marco Antonio Barrera as well as his promoter Frank Warren and the manager of one of the WBA lightweight champions, Paulus Moses.

Finally, Enzo Maccarinelli will speak to the show about his plans after his knockout defeat to Ola Afolabi.

If I was Enzo I would not be showing my face in public for at least a few more months.:cool:

Buncey mentioned Saddo Boxing first today in his list of boxing websites!

Wow Wee lets all stop acting like a bunch of groupies and kissing his butt.

Barry Hearn was quality today. Great tales.

Yes could have listened to his stories all night (has he done a book) the Watson v McCallum story was good.
