I'm sure millions of people who watch boxing on Sky Sports are fed up of Jim Watts depressing commentary. This miserable man with his repetitive slogans and overbearing voice has viewer reaching for the mute button. Its time Sky found a new commentator

Jim Watt is okay, in my opinion. I like his Scottish accent.
He's MUCH better than Max Kellerman.
And I'd much sooner listen to him than to than the BoxNation idiot John Rawling.
John Rawling has a sexy voice
His bias to Froch was ridiculous, I guess after bigging up Groves so much in the first fight, he was told by the higher ups at Sky to start being more biased to Froch since he's their "star"
He did!
The whole Sky Sports boxing needs an overhaul, starting with the 'boss' Adam Smith. He was drooling all over David Haye as usual. Get guys like Jamie Moore, Paul Smith (aye, he's a bellend but his analysis is decent), and Alex Arthur in.
Adam Smith imo is the only half decent one still working for them they could definitely do with trying to get maybe a boxing coach sometimes in the commentary booth... speaking of booth Adam Booth I think his knowledge and sense of humour would be a good hit.
No. :lol1:
Did he really have Bute winning against Pascal?
He did!

what i wanna know is why he went from massively calling the 1st fight in georges favour to calling it massively in favour of froch for the 2nd fight.
He picks a fighter to back no matter what in every fight. It's incredible at times.
I downloaded the HBO version of last night and thought their coverage was very poor. I usually like to hear HBO but the fact that they were not there didn't help. Also things like Lampley saying Froch had home advantage last time with Manchester being in the midlands..
We can't even put naked female butts on the sig or avi and you put up a man's naked behind?
On his right buttchick you can see a 3 year old tatoo: "Property of Wladimir Klitschko"
Worst commentator in boxing, actually had Bute winning the Pascal fight and "didn't see any way Pascal could win" (paraphrasing but you all get the idea). Most horribly biased commentator in the game. He was actually supporting the DeGale stoppage, and while I did think DeGale was going to stop Gonzalez eventually, every single fighter out there deserves a chance to show they can overcome and make a comeback. Sack this *******!
No. :lol1:

You'e a definiton of the worrd "Brittard".
Lmao
It'd seem that way, its amazing what one win does to someones thoughts.
Personally cant stand those two on boxnation Steve Lillis and Bunce sometimes they're okay but other times its just Jim Watt level.
Possibly made aware of the public's criticism of his pro-Groves commentary.
He did pick Froch to win pre-fight, so that might be another reason.
Thats why commentators shouldn't pick winners for sporting events they are calling.

Jim Watt is head and shoulders above HBO's crew. They were absolutely appalling last night.
Showtime are what's popping right now. I love all three Muaro, Al and Paulie.
I heard they were very poor. They didn't even go to the event.
Frankie, can you not post? the rest of us didn't lose a bet so we shouldn't have to subjected to broken toe's arse.
