He went into Danny Williams' changing room earlier (uninvited), took one look at him and said " Err, I think I'll leave you to it!"
He went and interviewed Tessa Sanderson instead.

I've missed Gabriel's Alan Partridge type routine.
He's an unknown comedy genius :smoke

Still the greatest avatar on ESB Farnell. Yep he is a comedy genius. I loved him at the Thaxton fight where he asked the winner of a fight a question then walked away without an answer, the boxer was stood there like a dildo in a butchers shop.

:good Thanks.
That was very funny and also when he walked into Melero's room looked at him and just said 'alright' nodded and walked off :patsch:lol: Melero's face was priceless.
Also asking about the toilets :lol:

Did Jim Rosenthal actually refer to Tessa Sanderson as a spearchucker????Yes he did. To my knowledge i always thought it was called a Javelin. For that the man should be sacked. Apparently its not the first time he done it.
Me and my mates were watchign the bill and all double took when the old cretin said that sentance. We even recorded it on SKY plus!!:lol:

Danny Williams should have locked that guy in his changing room and used him as a heavy bag to warm up. What right has he got to just barge in like that?

Tessa has a very posh accent these days. I wonder what happened to her Wolverhampton accent.
Also Tessa said her boxers were not as professional as the lads on the bill yet.

Good stuff.I found the whole affair to be grossly unprofessional. Barrys doing nicely though. Not long after that was on Setanta..

Im just disgusted with Willams. Iv watched his career very closely because i used to train with Julius Francis at the Peacocks. I remember when he was a nice up and coming talent and when he lost to Julius. He was mortified. he did a job on him in the rematch. Then i remember his EBU tilt. He was destroyed by the big turk with at least 5 KD`s. It was only then i realised how mentally weak and fragile Danny really was. His career ledger hasnt been worth spit since and his lack of mental fortitude hasnt allowed him any grace. Iv seen him beaten up tooo many times for no good reason. Even for the Audley bout the guy couldnt even get off his stool when his name was being announced at the beginning of the fight. He subsequently went on to loose by TKO in a few rounds. As for the Sprott bouts he turned up fat over weight disinterested and had a very flippant and casual attitude causing one of the bouts to be given to Sprott because the ref thought he was a wanker. Last night topped it for me. Danny just needs to go home be a father and call it a day.

They guy is an embarasment to F1, the German Grand Prix he was going around asking the drivers why Germans liked David Hasselhoff and bringing up other stereotypes like they were going out of fashion. It made him and us (the British) look like twats. :patsch

I only got in just in time for the williams fight, didn't see the guy, wish I had though, he is seriously funny in a cringe worthy Alan Partridge kind of way.

ITV4 have turned the Big fight live into an episode of little britain.
I see that the "Make some noise" MC that was slated in Boxing News has been canned, only to be replaced by a guy who can't be bothered to find out the correct way to say Sosnowski and who has the enthusiasm of a tree. Bring back the other guy!!! Also at one point after the main bill, he was doing an introduction as Barry was talking at ringside.
The whole show seems really thrown together, it's actually quite fun to watch. :D
Gabriel Clark. WTF!! :lol:

So were the ring card girls, the ugliest looking fat legged ring women I have ever seen. Could mick not have asked the local strip club for a free card girl or two for a bit of free publicity. Even a couple of east european prositutes would have done a better job than the trollops he had as card girls.
No wonder Witter finished his fight off quick, can you imagine having to look at those ugly girls 9 times.

At least he did not try and impersonate Mr Buffer.
Thats what you get on a big mick h card. I guess his business model is 1980s british wrestling on ITV.

The ring announcer was pretty bad.
But at least we are getting domestic level boxing without having to pay £15 for the privelege.
The one drawback has to be seeing Danny Williams's trainers make a fool of themselves.
Yet again.
