Yeah they did rip into him but he also deserves it though, He talks way too much without actually achieving anything..He cannot be losing to people like Guinn..Sprott and still talk himself up, He doesnt fight like a real boxer..He fights scare all the time...He is just too horrible to watch.

I agree that the Setanta presenters were bizarrely against the British fighters last night.
I watched the Setanta build up to Joe/Bhop which included the Fraudley fumble and, as the OP says, he was absolutely slaughtered.
I switched streams to HBO when Calzaghe's fight began and the HBO team were in love with him. Emmanuel Steward in particular is owed a ******* or three by Team Calzaghe.
Switching back to Setanta for the 'expert' analysis once HBO had wrapped up and had I not just seen the fight, I would have sworn blind that Joe was KO'd clean in R1. Bunce in particular lost a lot of credibility by seeming to let his grievance with Team Calzaghe cloud his opinions.
Given that Setanta are not in the best financial shape (the begging messages they sent previous subscribers to sign up for Enzo/Haye were cringeworthy), it was very odd that they made minimal effort to build up 2 potentially lucrative fighters. Granted, Audley by himself is unlikely to sell much nowadays but he can't be written off with the HW division being so weak and the talk of an interesting clash with Haye (heaven help Audley if he finds himself in the same ring as Haye!). If I was Calzaghe, I would be incredibly pissed off with my 'home' broadcaster.
Overall, a bad performance by Setanta. They were the only thing uglier than Bhop last night.Comment
