ITV4 Coverage

[colinthfc]

I love the coverage on ITV4 because thet treat you like the punter in the Arena as you get the fight as 'live' as thet happen, and you get a schedule of fights with times.

Sky can learn a lot, as they show the top of the bill at 10.00pm, and then everything else is pre-recorded and has to fit in the time remaining.

What I like best about ITV boxing coverage is their "backstage" man, Gabriel. His complete lack of tact as he cruises the dressing rooms is highly entertaining.

[GazOC]

I think he may be mildly autistic.

[Lewisbell]

A wierd man who hangs around the ladies changing area, talking to flabby men

[Claypole]

I think he may be mildly autistic.That's a possibility. I can just imagine him barging into a young Mike Tyson's dressing room and sticking a microphone in his face.

These days we have to make do with him poking Junior Witter repeatedly in the chest.......

He's boxings Alan Partridge, hope he's on tommorow

Love ITV boxing, its kinda retro. I was brought up on midweek fight night with reg guteridge,jim watt and garry newbon.I can hear the music now...sure they still use the same tune. Had my pro debut on a fight night bill. Itv boxing, Benn v Mclellan, Benn v Eubank, Eubank Watson....... Dickie Davis.....Hagler,Leonard,hearns. Itv boxing love it.

[Kid Lucky]

When ITV started doing boxing again they did use that music with the trumpets but they don't do anymore I think.

I didn't like the way that Rosenthal and co were standing by the ring but it's really grown on me and I think it emphasizes that they (and the viewer) are part of the action

[alba]

his name is gabrioal clark .i like it ,i think it adds a diffrent dimension on the programme,and also it makes it a bit light hearted.I mena i take my boxing serious but it is good to see something this relaxed make the final programming

[SouthpawSlayer]

im surprised junior didnt knock him out

[Imperfect Recor]

It's the pointing prodding finger I like. Surprised junior didn't lamp him one!
