Was he the American? It was funny as fuck listening to him being impartial but still trying to blow smoke up English arses. Fair play to him, he stuck to his guns and called the fight as he saw it.

Yeah Sky could have a team that call a fight as it and get rave reviews but they wont do that for some daft reasons. Whenever they have been over here in Dublin for fights. They have used former World Champion Benard Dunne and talk about being refreshing he told it as he seen it and wasnt blowing smoke up anyones arses these are seasoned pros you got at least 3 former world champions on sky and most are all Team Sky and Matchroom which is sad. Tell it how you see it and who gives a fuck what people say. Whos the guy on English cricket who reviews the games day of play well they need that type of guy in boxing on Sky.

Also not too sure if I mentioned it before but 2 of the Irish am team has signed pro contracts Paddy Barnes with a management deal with MGM and they think promotional deal with Frank Warren. Also Michael Conlan is with Top Rank and is also being managed by MGM team as well.

MGM have been very busy it seems in recent weeks they have signed 2 decent fighters in Jono Carrol and Phil Sutcliffe Jnr to deals to fight on there cards.
 
Gutted for Ant, hes a sound lad and who would have thought he'd ever win a world title when he was getting stopped by Matthews just a few years ago.

Nothing I hate more than people bringing football into boxing, I know loads of reds who loved Hatton and I know plenty of blues (myself included) who have supported Crolla. I decided after his last fight I wont bother going to his fights any more because of the twats, they never came out supporting him before he won his world title, and sadly its alienated some of his fanbase who were there before. But if its getting him well paid then its job done for him. Look at Josh Warrington, hes not up to much but hes getting talked about for a world title bid just because hes got all the Leeds fans following him and made a name for himself on sky. Good luck to them.

For me would like to see Linares vs Zlatican for the proper WBC belt and now Crollas WBA. Be good to see Crolla rebuild with a fight or two before taking on Terry, who beats him easy enough for me.
 
Bit naughty that by Parker. Tough night for Cleverly who was never a cruiserweight, reckon it will go 12 but he's every chance. Braehmer is a decent counter puncher. I'm sure Enzo's had a word in his shell.
 
Why does nearly every country have a better national anthem than us. The German one is very stirring, it almost made me want to sweep into Poland.
 
Good fight this. Every time Cleverly hurts him the German comes back blasting. I'm enjoying this.
