    Jim Watt believes any fighter in a spot of bother be "pulled out of there by his corner".

    Every fucking time.

    I prefer HBO.... I always enjoy Manny stewarts comments particularly... But I just get more sense of occasion through the HBO commentation...

    Sky has been better since John Rawling replaced Adam Smith.

    That, and...

    "He can't take many more of them shots" everytime a fairly solid punch lands.

    Thought it was great how they mentioned Groves had peaked too early in training, forgetting that he was scheduled to have a fight 2 weeks ago.

    Sky should sign up a certain American. They could, literally, have a dream team.

    Ian Darke is a legend. Done everthing. Pretty sure he used to do football for Sky back in the day. Darts, boxing too - he's a sports whore.

    I prefer HBO personally, I didn't think Rawling did a great job if I am honest him and McCrory missed Manny's huge body shot in the fourth which had Marg in big trouble and they missed it completely.

    Sky should get that Eurosport Guy. The one who commentates on absolutely fucking everything.

    At 6:45 he'll have a 15 minute slot on EuroGoals. At 7 he'll have an hour on a Canadian Triathlon and at 8 he'll be stuck with The European Polo Championships. He's a legend that guy. He knows everything.

    I still love HBO it has a good balance of Jim's hyperbole, manny's senile comments and good boxing insights of emmanuel plus who can resist the penetrating owl like eye of max.geezzz lol

    Never heard Sky but pretty sure I'd take them over Jim Bam Bam Lampley. Shit I'd take Kid thunder after a bottle of MD 20/20 on the mic over lampley
