With Adam Smith @ SkySports . He Head of Boxing and he lets Mayweather v Ortiz slip to Primetime.... Fair play for landing Ward v Froch and Daz against Martinez... but missing out on one of the greatest fighters of our time... tutut.

Is he now head of Boxing? I used to work at Sky Sports years ago when living in the UK and Adam was one of the commentators and is actually a good mate of my brother and a nice guy. Fair play that he is now in that position. The old Executive Producer of boxing was an absolute tyrant and ran that department on fear and intimidation. I just googled Adam after reading this and saw that the old EP was escorted out of Sky after an investigation into his treatment of staff! Doesn't surprise me to be honest. Does Ian Darke still commentate too? When I left he was doing quite a bit of football and just did the big fights.

Yeah as far as i know Darkey is kept for Vegas showdowns,although he has been doing less boxing comm lately. Find it odd though because Smith and Darke both have fantastic Boxing knowledge while Watt always states the obvious.. Smith and Darke should co comm that would be good. Also chuck Johhny Nelson,as he has to be the worst pundit on telly.
