    Boxing’s Keyser Söze

    Barry Jones joins Buncey to pick through the bones of an extraordinary fight in New York at the weekend. They question whether Ryan Garcia pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes with his antics in the build-up to the fight with Devin Haney, which saw him floor his opponent three times on his way to a majority points win. They take a deep dive into the build-up and analyse why Garcia proved to be too good on the night.

Andy the lumberjack ,

Like the addition of Adam Smith

So Buncey was right about the straight shot! Barry Jones is a good and insightful pundit and great to have Adam Smith on the live commentary. I hope the BBC didn’t spend too much of the licence fee on Del Boy Chisora, didn’t really add much value.
