HBO/Showtime urinate on Sky Sports.

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

I hope you are being sacarstic,those idiots are the most biased commentators

lol, yeah he was.

I just think overall the sky commentators dont know much compared to the HBO and Showtime. Jim Watt is so annoying, He is like an even worse scottish version of Larry Merchant.

I completely agree. Sky Sports coverage is completely inferior to it's US counterparts. The commentary is poor and the general presentation is just lackluster. It's bearable but could really do with a major overhaul in all areas.

thank **** someone realised that.
Watt can be funny at times, and sometime really annoying, unlike Lederman who annoys the **** out of me everytime he opens his mouth.

Sky sports do need a couple of new experts though.

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.

I see what your saying but you must be getting more than me on sky because it normally switches to adverts inbetween rounds!!! fcukin hate that.

ITV coverage is much better but now there coverage had gone. Sky need to sign some talent bring in the legend Barry Mcguigan, hell bring in Frank Bruno, he'd be a laugh!

It really makes me very angry when they apologise for the corner swearing. It makes you miss what the corner is saying.

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.

"Oooooohhhh his legs did a SILLY DANCE there, didnt they Jim?"
