Thousands of viewers heard a trainer tell his boxer to "cement this wee b******" live on TV.
Billy Nelson also urged Commonwealth superfeatherweight champ Ricky Burns to "concrete the ****".
His foul-mouthed rants forced a string of apologies from a commentator during the title fight, broadcast live on Sky Sports 1 on Friday night.
Burns was defending his belt against Belfast's Kevin O'Hara, 27, at Bellahouston Leisure Centre in Glasgow.
After one rant, the Sky commentator said: "Apologies for the language. Both camps are really trying to psyche up their boys."
During every break after that, the commentator spoke over Nelson. Burns, 26, of Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, won on points.
His manager Alex Morrison said: "Ricky wasn't fighting at his best so Billy was frustrated.
"He's got a big mouth but nothing was meant by it."
A Sky spokesman said: "We have mics in the corners but they forget and the industrial language comes in.
"We had to apologise three or four times."
:lol:
Had to laugh when i read this earlier.
Better still, it was bigger than Ricky Burns fight article and Lee McAllister didnt even get one. :patsch
Quite fucking sad really considering theres no football etc on right now.
See people, its not just the Telly Networks avoiding boxing, its the rags too.
How do ya fix it ?
You dish out some top class verbalage :happy:happy:happy

its disgraceful the amount of positive coverage on boxing is.
But when occasionally something goes wrong its back page news its stupid as hell aint it.
Recently there was an article of people complaing boxing fans bring a bad anme to The Albert Hall. There hasnt been a fight there for years and boxing crowds are probably one of the least rowdiest crowds ever.

Its utter shite this article. So Billy used a bit of colourful language to get his lad wound up.
Whats he expected to do ? He's in a sport where if you dont perform to the highest of your abilities your liable to be knocked out and possibly killed. Ricky needed to be given a kick up the arse and told to sharpen up which is exactly what his cornermen (Billy in particular) are there to do. Its after the 9pm watershed anyway whats the fucking problem ?

That hack is a noob who obviously hadnt fuck all to write about, it was well past the 9pm watershed and we are watching a boxing match not Strictly Come Dancing.
It's not ballet, they're fighting for fucks sake. You expect that kind of language.
PC twats.

just another negative pop at our sport by the mainstream press i guess the mail had run out of diana stories this week!
on a postive note i did hear a bit of praise from the sky commentators on ffn for billys advice to his fighters espically in that 3 rounder

they think all fighters are some thick cunt of a kid who likes hurting people and beating people up and has no emotion.
They think fans are some sick cunts who like watching people get hurt for no reason
if this was the case all fight fans would be in Glasgow on a friday nigth watching some football fan neds jumping some old geezer walking his dog
boxing is a sport with a great record in terms of crowd controll etc... football is much worse but the players in that are faggots so you cant say there barbaric
It's not ballet, they're fighting for fucks sake. You expect that kind of language.
PC twats.
well when Gene Tunneys fighting hes as graceful as a ballerina

I notice that Adam Smith always apologizes but on Setanta Rawling laughs it off or doesn't say a thing. I knew one day they moan about it but it's a working class sport after water shed they shouldn't have to apologize it farcical.

By not having it on dilutes the passion from it.............the cornerwork is as much important viewing as the fight... you can get a great insight into how the next round will go and if the fighters are listening to what they are been told...........:good

It was funny as fuck.........Burns is a top fighter.... a real improved battler... a bad night at the office last night.... you cannot work at 100%, 100% of the time........ a good learning curve for both fighter and corner last night...:good

Exactly.
I didnt even check the link, the second I read which newspaper posted this garbage I knew instantly that it was some ill-informed football journo at work.
The englanders on this forum simply dont realise what boxing means to the mainstream in Scotland, this scottish article should prove that boxing is very much a minority sport in Scotland these days, & the only educated boxing opinion you will find is the posters like myself who post on ESB.
Fuck the Daily Record & Sunday Mail, havent bought the rags in years. If it aint football, those two sister rags are like reading a childrens book when you check out the sport section.
Hugh keevins is the worst culprit, his boxing articles are so fuckin awful its funny in a macabre sort of way.

im sorry my choice of words could have been better, although im passionate about boxing and my fighters, it was purely a motivational ploy, i spoke to john breen yesturday and he couldn't stop laughing, people should understand kevin,john and emmon are freinds of mine and will always be so. thanks for your support guys.

Billy Nelson, you are a complete disgrace using pit talk like that. I recorded the show for my 11 year old to watch and she was appalled and disgusted by your language...shame on you Builly Nelson, you foul mouthed cunt :deal :yep
Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people...if you shove a camera into a corner between rounds you are going to get a few fucks, its the way that men under stress talk to each other. Billys verbal performance pales into absolute insignificance when compared to the great Norman Stone...check out this link, its priceless [Only registered and activated users can see links]

The press always talk bull s--t .There's f--k all wrong with a bit of banter in the corner trying to phsyc up your fighter and get some aggression out him.Classic exaample Castillo Corrales round 10 1.36 of this video

what a round, classic classic classic
god bless deigo corales
If we are on the subject of godawful football journalists 'covering' boxing, a bbc article on Chagaev - Klitschko made me chuckle.
Apparently Wladimirs' 'straight right hook' was very effective.

I remember Billy Graham shouting to Hatton "he's fooked" several times at the end of the 11th round against Tszyu and there wasnt and complaints then.
Billy, dont let this affect the way you run your corner mate. If people cant handle a wee bit of swearing then dont watch a 'mans' sport.
