do u setanta have the worse commentators ever

[BAD LOSER]

in the mathews lindsay fight they give lindsay no credit what so ever all .the only time they spoke was when mathews hit lindsay.

[berserkafied]

I must admit i thought that some of the closer rounds were given to Matthews (by the commentators). Having said that, I still had Matthews up by 1 round before the KO!

[BAD LOSER]

boxing is crooked enough when ur the away fighter without now haveing to beat the commentators as well .

[Bunce]

Martin was not the away fighter.

[kosaros]

Martin was not the away fighter.
:lol:

Hey bunce, what is on the show this thursday? any discussion about froch on ITV or the shane mosley fight this week?

[BAD LOSER]

Martin was not the away fighter. yes he was he was in first why did he not get the credit he deserved through the fight the commentary was the worse ive ever heard. there is no way lindsay was 3 till 4 rounds down. what do u think.

[kosaros]

You obviously never watched an amir khan fight on ITV.

[BAD LOSER]

You obviously never watched an amir khan fight on ITV. i never .but i no for sure lindsay was the away fighter what did u think of the commentary of the fight.

[D-MAC]

I think Richie Woodhall having Kotelnik only one point up going into the last round against Rees was a lot worse.

Fair play to Bunce though; he tore Richie a new one in the post-fight analysis.:good

[kosaros]

i never .but i no for sure lindsay was the away fighter what did u think of the commentary of the fight.

Yeah it was slightly biased towards matthews, i admit, but he is part of the haye stable so they were obviously going to favour him more, basically because he will be on more hayemaker promotion shows which are on setanta.

That is if Lindsay isnt part of hayemaker otherwise my theory is wrong :thumbsup

I thought the commentry was fine. Lindsey did fuck all until he laned the big punch, won a couple rounds but was way behind.

[BAD LOSER]

[BAD LOSER]

Absolutely true. Also, I thought the commentating was fine. lindsay just looked fairly duff till the middle rounds and then when he got the KO. Hiw work inbetween was unremarkable and, as befits Matthews himself, pedestrian. all u do is talk balls evry time u write on this u talk people down what the fuck u no about boxing

[dwilson]

our you blind or what


Like I said he did win a few rounds but never dominated the fight. Derry was well on his way to a clear victory.

[quote=dwilson]Like I said he did win a few rounds but never dominated the fight. Derry was well on his way to a clear victory.[/q so what rounds did he win

[kosaros]

so what rounds did he win

well the first 3 for starters, inlcuding the knockdown, means he is up by 4 points already, next 5 rounds split between them, simple as that.

I know you like lindsay a lot so you should be happy that he has won instead of being bitter about some peoples comments saying that he was losing on points - none of that matters now :good

[Bunce]

I had Derry a point or two up.
Martin went first because Derry had better pedigree? They flipped a coin? I don't really know. But, I do know that there was no slight. Trust me.

This Thursday...there is a bid for Carl Froch to be live, a British legend to talk about this weekend's Mayorga/Mosley bash, Watson and Maguire fights from Saturday, light-heavyweight mayhem and a defensive masterclass from Jorge Rubio.
It is close to being a classic.

Adios.

I wish i was, getting paid to watch some top boxing and talking about it - basically what i do now minus the getting paid :)

A defensive masterclass from Rubio? can't wait to see the show!

Hope he's not showing us the same one he gave Amir Khan

Jeez you are stupid or you are Lindsays mum.

[saturday_kid]

To be fair there were 1 or 2 rounds I thought that were very close and Woodhall gave them to Matthews but you've got to understand this is just there opinion just like on here there will be rounds when half the people on here will give it one fighter half will give it another. Me personally I think the setanta commentating is one of the best.

[zipper]

on the setanta commentators- love steve bunces show, but the commentary on the big fights is the worst ive ever heard especially on the big american cards, they show no excitement, emotion etc... not a patch on ian darke, glen mcrory, jim watt etc.. i think the fight commentary is bringing the whole event down...such a pity since setanta hav all the big fights now.. also remember them loosing the 11th round of barrera-pacman 11.. anyone agree the commentary is poor????

[silverman]

on the overseas fight they don't send their team out. Obviously save money by just taking commentators who are doing it for US television or the World.
John Rawling ... who also does ITV ... does the domestic fighters alongside Richie Woodhall for them.

[BAD LOSER]

Woodhall is the best boxing commentator on UK tv right now. End of story. how is he . he never talks have u ever heard him get excited he,s a dummy in my eyes wont be long till he,s sacked u just watch:hi:

[robster]

I thought that the new Haymaker MC was very good.

[Dunky McCafferty]

"get the SKY boys in"

its six of one & half a dozen of the other.

If you catch my drift.

[girv]

If the fight is good I dont care who commentates.

As for this thread, it HAS to be a wind up.

Some guy called BAD LOSER starting a thread about how english commentators are biased cunts?

Its almost as if it were the ultimate trap for me to fall into!

Why? Cos in all my years I have.... no steady on, this thread is a wind up, Im sure of it!

[saturday_kid]

Agree.

Even though he's a shit fan (West Bromwich Albion) :D

If you lot think the setanta commentators show no excitement try british eurosport!

[saturday_kid]

Anyway mate to be fair I doubt Lindsay's gonna be too bothered about not being given credit by the commentators after that punch!!

[Beeston Brawler]

I like the fact that Setanta commentators don't seem worried about plugging fighters that appear on Sky or ITV.

Last year everyone was talking about Hatton vs Castillo, but on Sky you never heard a peep about it because Setanta had the deal to show it.

Sky have the best lead in Ian Darke, but pundits are best on Setanta, with the exception of Glenn McCrory.

Watt is grating, Nelson racist.

[Icky Monker]

I'll second that Richie Woodhall is a great commentator. He is a great analyst and tells it how it is. Doesn't get too excited during the crux points of a fight, which is fine because I'm already doing that when I watch it.

As long as Setanta are showing the fights I don't mind so much who commentates. I think Bunce does a great job too and the presenter (Andy??) is growing into his role well.

I reckon in a few years no one will complain. It's mostly because people are used to the sky team. Change is always weird for a while.

And Bunce, good job at the Cardiff press conference! :good

ive no prob with woodhall, bunce and co, its just when they do the big fights from america they should use there own team-they sometimes use colnel BoB Sheridan the showtime commentator who in my opinion is really boring.. anyone agree that ian darke is the best commentator around!!

I agree i'm not a big fan of the american commentators, personally though I think both Sky and Setanta's british commentators are very good

[9Ball]

I am not so sure about Woodhall, he just seems to agree with whatever the other guy says a bit too much.
As for Ian Darke, I think he is pretty good, he has good knowledge of previous fights and is quite entertaining. The one man I dont like to listen to is Jim Watt. That man is so negative. Picks the bad things that the fighters do and doesn't seem to understand that not all boxers had his class :nono

[Dunky McCafferty]

I couldnt agree more.

Watt was an absolute beast of a fighter when he hit his prime, & I watched the Buchanan-Watt fight recently when Watt was the up & comer & Ken was at the peak of his powers & I had Watt edging it.

Watt is a smart man, but hes so paid off his opinions are worthless nowadays sadly enough.

Watt the fighter was a legend. Watt the analyist though is just another SKY talking head.
