      British boxing coverage as a whole is vile.

        Check my sig for an example of The Duke in action, kids.


        HBO:
        Lampley - flag-waving HBO boy homer. (Note how Lampley even has to pronounce other countries in an accent... when he did a Katsidis fight he kept going "and Katsidis is from (puts on inexplicable Australian accent) Australia")

        Kellerman - Boggle-eyed, ****e-spouting fanboy.

        Merchant - The good guy. Rock solid, even if it takes him ten minutes to complete a sentence.

        Lederman - A eunuch.

        Lewis - Without the word "definitely" the guy has no commentary.



        The Best:
        He's getting old, but still Col. Bob Sheridan



        ITV:
        McKenzie and Rawlings are a pair of ****wits. Except.. I AM Duke McKenzie, so I'm the best, kid - I JUST WILL NOT BE DENIED!


        The worst:
        Atlas. Yeah, he talks sense. But REPEATEDLY. Incessantly. Shut the **** up.



        The funniest:
        Steve Holdsworth, Eurosport. The guy is totally INSANE. I was gonna link to him here, but my youtube vid of it has been rejected due to "copyright claim by TF1".

            I love it when he starts being racist and you can hear his co-commentators cringe.

            One of my favourites was when he said "I wonder if there'll ever be a fight between a man and a woman? Mind you, I guess you can say there has been if you count Jane Couch."

            His co-commentator (think this time it was Richie Woodhall) audibly cringed and tried to joke out of it: "Careful, Steve, she'll be after you."

            "I'd knock her out right now" comes back Steve.

              I like HBO's team the best, but I really like Setanta's team even though I haven't heard much of them. Watching Pascal Froch, I didn't really care for ITV that much.

              Also is Holdsworth the guy who said "TYPICAL ITALIAN REF. WHAT A LOAD" something like that. If so, then he is by far the funniest.

                Setanta regularly have a broadcast that includes Fat Yank commentators these days, though not the main HBO boys.

                And yes, that's Steve.

                    Richie Woodhall is the best boxing commentator.

                      I enjoy Steve Holdsworth, he's the funniest of them all, and he knows his stuff too.
