Darke and Watt

[BIG H]

Darke does talk some crap, but it wouldn't be teh say without him. My great memories of fights on SKY on inlvolve Darke & McCrory

For me the best guy for the job is Jim Rosenthal he did the Tommy Hearns v Duran , Hearns v Roldan and Andries v Hearns in the uk , he was great , calling the fight punch for punch.
Jim also did radio so you have to call it right.

Yeah, but it's not hard to call a fight if it's one bloke administering a heavy beating to another is it

Roldan v Hearns was give and take while it lasted

As in Hearns giving & Roldan taking?

I've complained about Jim scoring for his favourite and trying to tally his score with the HBO guys over the years, but I still like him. He's been calling fights now for decades. Anyone doing it that long is gonna have plenty of dodgy nights.

At the end of Morales-Maidana he said he was scoring for Morales with his heart. At least he admitted the bias.

Jim Watt is an expert after the event !

Ian Darke left Sky to commentate on Premier League games for the US market, I didn't realise that e had been retained for the boxing until Sunday Morning.

I prefer John Rawling, but Darke's OK. It's probably time Jim Watt retired though, not that I'm sure who should replace him. I quite liked John Thaxton on the one fight I heard him on ITV4 (?).

I want someone to call the fight as it happens punch for punch , they can talk crap between rounds , most pundits just fucking witter on .

Yea agree with this. The two of them were the dream team back in the day.

Darke was also top notch when commentating on the live Footy on Sky, was always using boxing analogies, top quality

Watt is a twat.
