A week late but better than nothing if you have not had the chance to watch the fight yet.

Saturday at 13.10 BBC 1 it stars but I would check if I was you.

jim neilly and junior witter did the best they could to make it seem as exciting as a royal procession.i know commetary isnt that important but to casual observers it drastically sway the view of the fight.I knew they would do this but was still anooyed when then did,they dont even mention the punches whilst they happen,its all about what has happened in previous rounds,whilst they are talking crap JC unleashes a lovely 4 punch combo or kessler rips a vicious uppercut.bullshit

They got the pictures from Setanta and voiced the commentary over them. Both guys had already seen the fight so it entirely removed the passion/excitement etc. from the commentary. They should have just put the Five Live radio commentary over the video instead.

Junior Witter is the worst commentator ever, just from a can't-understand-what-he's-saying point of view.

The commentary completely ruined it, although most of the viewers will have watched it in the pub so the crap commentary doesn't let it down as much.

I must have given out 50 DVDs with the Kessler/Lacy fights on to various people this week, even when I knew the Kessler fight was going to be on the BBC. I'm pleased I did it now.

haha,nice one cc! a man after my own heart!im ashamed to admit that i have had a few calzaghe/lacy parties!i feel it is every boxing fans duty to spread the word and convert the unconverted,but maybe i just worry too much about things i cant control
