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.
Richie really he's a nice guy down to earth I remember being in his company and this ass hole talking trash, about fighting not boxing.
Richie was a gent the guy had to much to drink just talking shit.
I remember that about 10 years back it must have been.
One of the good guys in boxing and there is nothing wrong with that.
