Jim Watt is/was the greatest boxing commentator that has ever lived
Americans haven't got a clue, they can turn a good fight into an average fight and an average one into a shit one
We are very lucky in Britain, and Jim was the best

Re: Jim Watt announces his retirement
Oh right, Ha! here goes then.
As a bloke he's a sound bloke and did fantastically well to win a World Title.
No Father should ever have to go through what he has in his personal life and my heart goes out to him.
As a commentator, he was dated and changed his mind every round.
As a ringside scorer , he was nothing short of a comedian. Fucking useless.
one thing I will give him credit for, There was a parody twitter account in his name, (Dunno if it's been shut down now.) which was the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.

Ok, so he's there as an "expert summariser", but it's ok for him to get it wrong? So in effect a shit expert summariser can be a good expert summariser because they're "entertaining "?
So why don't they have Peter Kay replace him? He might get a few things wrong, but he's entertaining as fuck!
First and foremost it's about the BOXING. Please let's not lose track of that.

Great idea Peter Kay would be funny as a commentator.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Re: Jim Watt announces his retirement
so you want a commentator that is entertaining, scores fights properly every time, never changes his mind, doesn't make any mistakes, and hits the nail on the head every time he opens his mouth?

Re: Jim Watt announces his retirement
no. I would settle for someone giving a good insight, reading fights well, have a fair idea of who has won a round and was easy to listen to. Nobody's perfect, but let's be consistent .

Paulie Malignaggi, Carl Froch , Andre Ward and even the little Welsh fellah on Box Nation are better than Watt.
I like Richie Woodhall as a bloke, but he's a bit of a lickass and biased.
But I don't want to sound like a hater, I truly wish Jim Watt a happy retirement , because nobody should have to bury 2 of their own kids.
Cunt of a Mod. Fact.

Re: Jim Watt announces his retirement
Jim has always been a commentator since I was a kid, so I always liked him. And listen to the difference between the more subtle style back in the day, with Reg Gutteridge, to the super hypey modern co-comms.
The trouble with his scoring in recent years was, instead of scoring what he thought he scored what he thought the judges were seeing.
