    I lost the Sky stream before the fight started thankfully. Ended up watching Showtime.

      As is Paulie obviously
      Paulie at least said the fight was close which It was!

        Bellew is too biased towards Brit Fighters.

        They need a impartial voice to give some balance and stop lying about how a fight is going.

          He gave Parker two rounds. What are you talking about?

            I don't think it was remotely close.

            Sky commentary is consistently atrocious. At least it's not ****ing Jim Watt anymore.

                  I think Bellew comes up with some great insight. He'll talk about stuff like breathing, about swallowing blood, and the mental ups and downs within a fight.

                  Froch is strange in that he doesn't really offer that much insight. All night the only thing I heard him say is 'Burnett keeps his left hand low but that is a bit rich coming from me.'

                  But yeah Paulie is the best out of them. But I don't know who they could get that would be nice and impartial.

                  For me. I don't think Froch is a big boxing fan as crazy at that sounds - I think he loves to box/fight.

                  Reminds me of former football (soccer) player Michael Owen talking about football. That guy is not that interested in it.

                    Sky commentary is up there with HBO as the two worst in the business.

                    Cant stand it. When they panned to tony bellew for his opinion i wanted to scream.

                      They should get Teddy Atlas, that would be funny.

                      They dont have the B A L L S to do that though.
