    Who will the commentator/analyst(s) be for Haye-Klitschko on HBO and Sky?

    I'm hoping it will be Larry Merchant, who is always fair, instead of Max Kellerman, who hates the Klitschkos and will always subtly discredit them.

    I think Larry still does some World Championship Boxing, but disappointingly, recently for some WCB telecasts HBO has Kellerman.

    Also Jim Watt on SKY, although he's more intelligent than Max, has always been overly negative about Wlad, and he'll be talking as if Haye is the greatest boxer of all time. So I'm hoping they'll have Glen McCrory or Richie Woodhall instead (and hopefully Barry McGuigan).

    I can always turn the sound off or find the RTL stream, but I prefer to have fair and balanced English commentary while watching a fight.

    Richie Woodhall would be fine. Jim Watt can go fuck himself, talks a lot of bollocks.

        McCrory and especially Woodhall and Watt really are terrible analysts.

        Same goes for pretty much the entire Sky team except Adam Smith.

        It wil most likely be;

        Watt and Smith commentating with Nelson, McCrory and probably Mcgugian in the studio.

          Nelson is a huge Haye fan, and he doesn't like the Klitschkos - so I won't be expecting balanced commentary from him.

          McGuigan and McCrory are generally fair.

                Adam Smith is the only person in the Sky Team that has the balls to address a UK fighter when they are in the wrong.

                He addressed David Haye straight up about the way he was acting with the Klitschko's and he told Froch straight up that he lost to Kessler, something Froch needs drilling into his brain.

                All the other pundits let the UK fighters talk their rubbish (When they are in the wrong)

                  Carl Froch will be one of the pundits on the Sky team.
