    I never get why people do this "either/or" ****. Just because SKY are crap (though call it "English commentators" if you want to generalise... particularly when one of them was Scottish, good call) that doesn't mean that HBO are great.

    It's like saying what do you prefer... eating dog **** or a kick in the nuts?

    As for the "feminine accent" crack, it's a good job Mexicans have such masculine voices, isn't it? Oscar particularly.

      The English commentators are usually excellent, much better than most American.

      However, it was a bit ridiculous the way they were nuthugging Khan today.

          I like the sky commentators I think they are very fair, why can't a british commentary team be excited by a british fighter, thats ridiculous. They didn't over exaggerate anything that was a brilliant performance from khan, there not saying khan is a world beater, they are saying for a fighter of his ability and experience that was an awesome performance.

          Jim Watt is an excellent commentator and worked many years with reg gutteridge which was one of the best commentary partnerships ever

            They are terrible.

            Ian Darke got horny over Khan taking a Barrera left hook. "Barrera with a big left hook! Khan took it! HE TOOK IT!"

              What Fat Yanks tend not to realise is that boxing isn't a big sport in the UK.

              Imagine you're trying to explain the sport to someone who doesn't know jack about it... wouldn't you go overboard to get points across?
