The Extermely Bias of the Sky Boxing Commentators Was Disgusting [PICS of PROOF WHY]

They were crying up and down for the fight to be stopped when Gradovich suffered a non threathen cut on the side of his face but when mitchell suffered a helaious life threathen type of cut they didnt say a word about stopping the fight they actually went on and praise mitchell for his braverly fighting and that he actually winning and blah blah blah. Was one of the most disgusting blatant display of bias I have heard, we always hear some but this was extreme. This is the eye/cut of mitchell that the skybox commentators didnt mention once that the fight should be stopped. http://www.boxingscene.com/uploads/91690/linares.jpg This is the cut of Gradovich that the commentators were crying up and down and pleading for the stoppage. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/05/30/21/1433016150157_lc_galleryImage_Matchroom_Boxing_02_arena.JPG

The commentary team were garbage in that broadcast, they made out as if Brook had some sort of amazing performance against a D-level fighter! lol.. they should have slated him for not stopping Gavin in 2 or 3 rounds but instead they acted as if Brook had just beat Pacquiao or something lol.. it was hilarious but at the same time ludicrous. Jesus. Brook is a natural counter puncher fighting an awkward southpaw in Gavin who decided to survive very early. I'd say he did quite well.

Jim Watt is worth a good laugh, but not to be taken seriously, just like most other cokeheads while high.

... You should watch cards from the UK more often... And from Germany.

Jim Watt is awful, he just sounds like a drunk, embittered old man. Sky commentary is very biased towards any UK fighter, it started with Khan after the 2004 Olympics. Take Lee Selby for example - great fighter and great performance BUT the way the pundits (McCrory FFS) were talking about him made him sound like he was Lomachenko, Floyd and Rigondeaux rolled into one...it was pathetic. Glen McCrory needs to have a word with himself, he sounded like Selby's dad last night, or some weird gay uncle.

Jim Watt has always been annoying, but Halling is starting to do my head in more these days. His just goes along with everything Watt says. Halling will make a comment, Watt will tell him he's wrong and Halling will then say 'I think you're right Jim'. It's pointless him being there.

Pretty sure they said that Mitchell needed to be stopped too.

Watt is not always biased for the Brits. His partner Nick Halling is though, to the max. He's the worst out there, though Adam Smith is not far behind When I hear Watt he is usually Bias to whoever fights on Sky Regularly.

The name of the card was "Rule Britannia". I would've been more shocked if Sky hadn't been biased...

It is mostly Jim Watt, I do miss Ian Darke calling boxing he was GREAT and wasn't as bias as Jim Watt. This guy working with Jim Watt now just goes along with what ever he says. Having Paulie as that 3rd Guy helps because Paulie at least tries to even things out a bit But Everybody Country and Every Network is Bias towards who ever they're making money off of. Jim Watt is no different than Jim Lampley to be honest. One push an agenda for Sky the other for HBO :dunno: Watt is not always biased for the Brits. His partner Nick Halling is though, to the max. He's the worst out there, though Adam Smith is not far behind

Jim Watt is also criticised for being negative about Brit fighters. I watch an Argentinian channel and they call robbery on any Latino/ Latin linked fighter that doesn't get the decision.

sky commentary is my least favourite, the bias is so blatant. it's better not to listen to it. Boxnation are much better. but i wouldn't say any of them are great. I find the only ones i listen to are the actual fighters like roy jones, paulie, bernard. lampley and kellerman are only good for talking about things during the build up, they hype the fight up. their input on how the fight is going is generally pointless. which is sad considering they've been doing it for the majority of their lives

That's normal in boxing, every country you go to there is bias. I think America too have the same thing but not as much as in other countries.
