The Best Atmosphere In Recent Years Was Either Between...

You know what atmosphere I like?


The Oakland one at Ward fights . . . not because it's the most raucous per se, but because there's something just weird about it . . . almost spooky.

I know this wasn't "recent", but Benn-McClellan had a great atmosphere.

I had only seen the Showtime version, but recently got an excellent copy of the ITV broadcast and rewatched it. You could tell that fight was gonna be good as soon as you saw the stare down, ATG stuff. Plus, Jim Watt was commentating.

I both love and hate watching that fight, though, and for obvious reasons.

Same. Remember watching it on live TV when I was 14.

The atmoshere in that one is pretty sickening, really.

Hilarious that you actually enjoy listening to Jim Watt, and most of us (UK posters) can't stand him.




I was just messing about Margarito-Cotto before, it was a good one. Not one of the best 2 of the last 5, 6 years, though, I don't think.

Watt's accent reminds me of my crazy Glaswegian aunt. I find it hysterical how he screams into the mic. Plus, you can never go wrong with his catchphrase of "**** on the chin!"

I can't stand Ian Darke. I like him when he does football, but not boxing.
