BoxNation Live Tonight! Discussion Thread! (Is Anyone Even Watching?)

[AlexHuckerby]

BoxNation goes live tonight, if anybody is up for Walsh - Appleby.
What are the expectation levels do we think the presentation style and overall slickness will be as good as say, Sky Sports, Primetime, Setanta, or somewhere between those?
Opinions on how good it was, or how naph it was and what our expectation level is please!

[AlexHuckerby]

The little intro to this is so up Warrens arris it's crazy!!!!!
It's Warrens a genius, Warrens amazing.
Seriously he needs to get a slap.

I just turned it on now and noticed Steve Bunce talking to that sexist guy from Sky Sports...

Plus they have Enzo Mac as a ruddy ringside analyst?

The video quality is worse than Primetime.

[School Project]

Oh my, some hairy journey man just slapped some kid over...

Anyone else watching this?

[AlexHuckerby]

What an incredible first round!
Smacked him right back!

[AlexHuckerby]

Full credit to this journeyman hes giving this his all!

[School Project]

Yo Alex,

You noticed that this Razack fella looks as though he lost the hair from the back of his head and it stuck to his back?

[AlexHuckerby]

He needs to borrow 30K from Wayne Rooney defo.

But my god this guy is awful but somehow had Liam Shinkwin in massive trouble twice!!

[School Project]

Yeah this fight is awful in all fairness, I love how Enzo is hyping this up though, Warrens little soldier that he is.

[AlexHuckerby]

It was awful but actually pretty good at the same time. Not much quality at all but the action was pretty good!

[Reborn-DeeMcK-Reborn]

Im watching.

That liam sinkwinn or whatever his name was displayed an ultimate glass jaw

[AlexHuckerby]

That knockdown was a massive shock I looked in better shape than the other bloke.

[AlexHuckerby]

To be fair the punditry hasn't been bad, think Richard Keys could try and learn a tad more about the game but he's a solid presenter.
Buncey is just Buncey going off on one every now and then.
John Rawling is a very good commentator. Will he be returning to the Sky Sports Commentary team?
Enzo Macca's voice is beginning to hurt my ears, his monotonous voice is rather droll and begins to drain you of willpower after a bit.
All in all pretty good except for the couple of seconds of blank screen every now and then.

Walsh-Appleby- BELTER

[ShahenshahG]

Sir muffalot! you are still alive!

[Herman Frotchlinger]

Maccrinelli surprisingly ok as a commentator, at least he sounds cheerful.


Keys a solid presenter, but you're watching wondering if his lack of knowledge will undo him. He's a good listener, and he doesn't know a lot about football either, so time will tell.

Not bad overall is the verdict. Mercifully no close-ups of Key's hands, and the card threw up a surpise in the thoroughly enjoyable Razzack-Shinkwin. Hats off to Razzack, these unsung journeymen don't often get a mention.

You chaps seem to be forgetting something, Mr Keys presented regularly on Skys Ringside in the earlier 90s with Gary Norman, he isn't a newcomer, certainly a lot better that ultra predictable sky team

[AlexHuckerby]

The Appleby Walsh fight is British FOTY without a shadow of a doubt, absolutely brilliant. Fortunate for BoxNation it happened to be on there opening fight!
