Do people actually respect the opinion of Steve Bunce?

[killersheep]

Bunce is pundit not an announcer. He's great for people in the UK that need a cheerleader for their fighters. The thing is UK fighters of late have made noise on their own merit, they don't need an anouncer to sell them to the public. That being said, it happens to a certain extent with guys in all countries. HBO obviously announces to favor their fighter, Teddy Atlas will randomly pic a fighter and go so far as to give them 10-10 rounds when they get knocked down. Bunce is bad though, I feel like I need aspirin everytime he starts ranting. If you are just looking for entertainment, watch a dancing monkey.

Where are these dancing monkeys?

That's one helluva high standard to hold our boxing pundits to, although I think the one in the E-Trade ad is much more versatile

I think he neglects to mention this site because of the slating he gets on here.

He was alright after the Arce: Darchinyan fight. He spoke a lot of sense and was remarkably calm. I suppose I am critical because I follow boxing a fair bit so he doesnt really offer me any insight. I suppose to the armchair fan he is a source of information though and he is lively with it.

Im going to try to stop being so cynical. Please mention Saddo's, Mr Bunce!!

Yeah but he still gets a mention!

[leftylee]

I like him, a pundit who speaks his true mind.

Though his constant rambling of how awful Tony Thompson is can be annoying after hearing it for the 47th time.

I actually enjoy listening to him whether I think he is right or not.

Kel, so does Steve . Loves listening to Himself.

You must know him pretty well Scrap is he a nice bloke off screen?

I get the feeling as a man he must be pretty likeable, and to have a bit of banter with down at the gym.

But I can't take him seriously as a boxing expert, how he got the job is beyond me, I just wish they had some proper knowledgeable experts on.

What about you trainers? Why are no British trainers given any commentary positions seeing as you guys probably know the most about British fighters?

The problem is Bilbo, what knowledgable boxing experts are there in Britain who are also good on tv, I mean Colin Hart is even worse if you've ever seen him. Also trainers won't have the same time to give to broadcasts which is why they only get Richie Woodhall occasionally even though he has some kind of contract with them. I understand a lot of people don't like Bunce, but the fact is Setanta are the only channel giving any kind of decent regular coverage to boxing. I mean Sky have FNFs, but they don't have a show where they discuss what's going on in boxing & if Bunce plays some part in Setanta giving coverage to boxing & trying to get the fights we in the UK wanna see on tv (JMM-Diaz hopefully) than he can talk shit all day long. It would be good if they could get a dancing monkey on the panel though

[Pugilistic]

I can't stand him.

He says the most random shit.
