Who is worse at commentating? Jim Watt or Roy Jones?

[Young Stribling]

Watt is awful, but it's not really a direct comparison. Watt is usally part of a two man team whereas Jones is part of a three or 4 man team at HBO.
If Jones was asked to talk almost non stop negatively about the fighters, then he'd be Jim Watt.

But I don't really get Sky's system. Their team is too big, Nelson and McCrorry seem to be at every gig, yet the studio is still packed with other guests. It's like if Match of the day had on all of their pundits in the studio every week. I think they need to get someone else alongside Watt to keep his negativity in check or actually give him a role rather than just giving his opinions a free airing 24/7.

Maybe Watt should retire and live off of the royalties of his steam engine invention.

is watt the guy with the scottish accent? I think he adds a bit of je ne sais quoi to sky sport proceedings, despite his bias in some cases.


Jones actually impressed me last night... corrected Lampley and Max.. he's a real truth spitter in there.

Lampley he corrected something was a jab instead of a hook, which was true.

Max he got on about the Magomed comment, and when Max talked about how Rios left foot wasn't outside Pac's right to be in position to fire the right hand, but Roy pointed out it was if he fired it behind the jab. and showed max exactly where.


Top notch, he's the best thing HBO's got commentary wise. He doesn't back down to either of those guys, checks them when they need to be checked when they say something painfully dumb, and always keeps it 100. Is he wrong or biased sometimes, probably, but what commentator hasn't been? More real than Lampley, more knowledgeable about boxing than Max.

lol, brilliant. "fancy dan" is a particular favourite of mine. try doing a shot every time he says it during the next mayweather fight.

Watt is definitely more awful. RJJ can be biase towards black fighters that he likes E.G when Provo was nailing Bradley and he kept saying he cannot hurt Timmy anymore then Blam... Bradley would be on ***** Street again.

thats a good point... he was saying Prov was just as hurt as bradley at one point, which I wholly disagreed with. But he did a great job on saturday.

[B0XXING FAN]

Jim Watt is possibly the biggest band wagon rider of all mo-fracking time. As soon as one of the fighters does anything vaguely impressive or unexpected good ol' Jimmy pronounces him as the coming of Muhammad Robinson Marciano the third and proceeds to dry hump the guy harder than a Chihuahua on speed. The man is just plain awful at commentating.

[bojangles1987]

Out of all the boxers that commentate I actually think roy jones is the best, Tarver was pretty good to, he was funny.

Tarver's really good. Bernstein and Paulie are the best crew, though the blow by blow guy sucks. Gus Johnson may be crazy and loud, but he knows how to call a sporting event. Sucks they replaced him with someone so bad.
