Do people actually respect the opinion of Steve Bunce?

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

Does Steve Bunce look like he's down the gym often?

If he likes a fighter they can do no wrong,but if he does'nt like them or has no intrest in them they are bums.But at least he speaks his mind even though it isnt always right.

Bilbo, Ive known Him years, actually He is a good Kid and was an alright Fighter as an Amatuer. He has been a expert since the age of nine, got an amazing Love for the Sport. Sometime He only listens when He is talking, but make no mistake He knows what He is talking about, most of its a windup half the time. I find Him entertaining because I know Him, wondering what He is coming up with next makes me Laugth
