And would anyone call Al a great commentator ? .......I don't think he is, really, he's sort of neutral: not great, not bad - and a million miles away from someone with the background Gil Clancey had.
Might be a matter of taste but I love Al Bernstein's commentary.
Not as good as Tim Ryan/Gil Clancy though "Leonard's wobbled Hearns...now Hearns has wobbled Leonard, Hearns has wobbled Leonard!"
I really loved listening to Gill talk. He would always be a voice of reason when the other commentators were rambling. I listed him as my favourite on another thread. Fantastic knowledge.

Love it - RIP Gil
That was Ferdie Pachecco who did that line.
Was he commentating alongside Ryan and Clancy for the fight then Stu? I was sure it was on the Clancy/Ryan broadcast I heard it.
Cannot remember - I thought it was only Ryan/Pachecco that night. Pachecco also did the last line "he must hold on, he's got nothing left he's going to get knocked out".
