Sky coveredge of Mayweather v JMM

I think Watt was a little in awe of Mayweather at times, but I'm not sure anyone blames him.

What I had a real issue with was the way in which the post fight interview was conducted by Max Kellerman.

The best british commenators are John Rowling and Duke McKenzie hands down!

I'd rather watch Jim Watt fight than commentate (marginally) he has always been a very bad commentator. I like John Rawlins, but Duke McKenzie don't half talk some sh1te

It seemed that SKY tv did not want the casual fans to know that JMM was a small hand picked fighter by FM.

Even the pundits in the studio after the fight did not even touch on the subject even after watching Floyd dodge the issue when being interviewed.

I was thinking the same, they were all sitting silently about that fact like Muppet's.

I think that Jim Watt's style has changed considerably since he was doing his bit on terestrial TV. He seemed to be a fight fan first and foremost and commented on both fighters and was even in his praise and criticism.

Maybe he is working more to a script these days to push a preferred fighter for a network, I don't really know. Could also be who he is paired with , that may make a difference, he always worked well with old Reggie and they would have a bit of bickering but the commentary was never really biased.

Ian Darke and Watt are not my favourites. I had to turn the sound down after round 1. A lot of slurpy slurpy stuff.

Other issues I have of Sky commentators are the fact that they actually believe Jim Watt's score card is gospel and if the referee or judges differ from his opinion it is unbelievable!

Also, while I'm whinging, a lot of the under card bouts they put on Friday fight night are even better than Hagler Hearnes according to them.

I don't mind them trying to sell their product, but honesty isn't a bad thing. Just say it how it is guys. Just because PBF came down to your studios and signed your autograph books, doesn't mean you have to get tongue busy on his arse.
