It annoys me.

Also whilst I'm ranting. Steve Bunce. Is there a bigger idiot? He was saying that the reason Wlad postponed the Chisora fight is because he looked in Derek's eyes and became fearful. wtf? This is the man who said (and it pissed me off so much at the time I created a thread about it) that K9 Bundrage was a joke mandatory and that Jamie Moore should have got the title shot and that Moore would easily beat K9 within 2 or 3 rounds. I posted a thread to say K9 was not a bum and would beat Moore, and it was disrespectful of Bunce to slate K9 the way he did. Then Moore goes and gets knocked out two fights in a row, and K9 becomes a world champ, which proves just what a clueless fat oath Bunce is.

I don't know how he can be so close to the sport, and yet still hold the opinions he does. It's baffling.

I have heard HBO mention the Super Six by name. They did before Bute's fight with Miranda I think. I have deffo heard Kellerman mention it.

As for Bunce, I think I joined in on that thread. Did you ever see the Boxing Hour where he said (and this was after Enzo beat Matthew Ellis) that Maccarinelli was the man to beat at Cruiserweight and the likes of Cunningham, Huck, Banks & Adamek wouldn't stand a chance as Enzo was going to clean up the division. Bare in mind this was when Adamek was king at Cruiser.

Jim Watt is an idiot at times too. Ever notice how he adjusts his fight card to fall in line. If the bookies have it close, and he has it wide, he'll throw in a few even rounds and gift rounds on his scorecard to fall in line. He does it when they cover the same show as HBO too. Johnny Nelson says some stupid things too. Thank god Sky brought in Barry McGuigan!
