I kind of like Darke and Adam Smith, I think they call the action well. Watt is past it and McCrory has dissapointed me lately but is not bad.

Im british and I cant stand Sky's coverage of boxing

HBO and Showtime have their flaws but overall are far superior

You've gotta love sky's neutrality when a brit is fighting a non-brit.............

These are my favorite Darke quotes (caps are necessary to indicate how emotional Darke was at the time):

"I'M ALRIGHT HE SAID, WHAT BRAVERY!"--commentating on Hatton telling Cortez he was okay after getting KD by PBF.

"HE TOOK THAT SHOT JIM, HE TOOK IT!"--On Kahn's ability to take Barrera's punch.

Stuff like that and his overall nuthuggery make me dislike him. Steve Albert is the best, IMO.

I know we can pick holes in all 3 channels. But HBO and Showtime's coverage urinates and at times defecates on Sky Sports. Firstly, I can't stand it on Sky when they don't let you hear what the corners are saying, they talk over it. Secondly, they don't provide a translator and thirdly, even light swearing is given an apology even at 3 in the morning.

Sky Sports is rubbish.
They are lucky they dont have competition.They give boxing fans the raw deal.Their commentators suck,they dont even allow us to hear what fighters say after the fight.I cant believe those idiots.

HBO/Showtime urinate on Sky Sports.
