        They should do, but in reality hardly anyone would have watched it; Carl Froch is hardly known over here sadly, except for in Nottingham where everyone knows him.

        I've bumped this thread to give a shout out to the BBC radio team of Mike Costello and Duke McKenzie. I've just listened to their commentary of the final round on the BBC website and it was terrific, much better than ITV. I particularly liked Duke's "OH my God!"; he said what everyone else was thinking.

          agreed Monk it was a stunning commentary. My stream packed up so I ended up listening to the last 4 rounds on 5 live and I'm kind of glad I did. The Duke sounded like he was having a seizure !

          Have you got a link to the commentary ? I've just had a look on the BBC site but can't see it... I'm sure plenty of people on here would appreciate the link being posted, and I wouldn't mind a second listen myself !

            I love the Duke man. His commentary puts a smile on my face. I thought Mcguigan was boring too. The US commentators have much more enthusiasm.

              The Showtime commentary was excellent.

                      I'm surprised that McGuigan wasn't more enthusiastic, because he has rated Carl Froch highly for quite a while now.
