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.


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?
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.
