Richie Woodhall On Setanta

[donnydarkoIRL]

did anyone else think richie commentating on the gavin rees fight when he was absolutely destroyed in my opinion pretty much a load of bull shit, he tried to find any excuse to make gavin rees having a chance to win on the score cards, was it jsut me or was he well off base un like steve bunce who said it how must of us saw it or at least what i think happened, thank god it didnt go to the score cards i could see rees some how getting the decision if he wasnt stopped when he was , pls educate me people ,what do you think ?

In this fight there was a chance that if it went the distance Rees would get the decision, regardless of the fight's events.

However, Woodhall, being a noted boxer and popular man in the eyes of both boxers and the public, would surely have been viewed dimly had he come out and said "Ree's is muck, Kotelink should kill him."
Perhaps there is a personal relationship between Woodhall and Rees? Is it possible that Woodhall didn't want to offend Rees.

Finally, the opinion of a former World Champion means far more than ours.

Woodhall's scoring was pretty pathetic.

I reckon sometimes (sometimes as in most of the time) these commentators score fights based on what they THINK the judges are scoring.. so in this case, Rees was the hometown Sports Network fighter, was moving forward throwing punches so surely he must be winning rounds, regardless of the fact he was getting schooled.

Even the judges had it wide for Kotelnik.

yvonne i cannot understand why u jsut attack me and not answer the actual post, do you not have an opinion on it or is it the fact you dont like people making points and in this case a fair point that richie was well of target with his views on rees. there are many people here who have posted constructive posts. im not one to be like a child and call people names. i think you will find your bias for the british is clearly showing when you cannot even admitt when they get it wrong instead you attack those who point it out .content of character comes to mind.
