MC John McDonald

[lefty]

I'll tell you a couple of things about John McDonald behind the scenes. Firstly , he never forgets someones name - which surprises me about the mistake he made on Saturday. Secondly and most importantly, he is a great fan of all the boxers and cares passionately about them. Have a look at previous shows , when a boxer is hurt , who is first into the ring,alongside the doctor, showing obvious compassion. Yes, he's a cheeky so and so, but deep down a decent bloke and doesn't deserve the criticism from some of the half wits on this forum. One of whom openly admits being drunk and taking illegal drugs , which I assume is what he meant with 'Bobby Hope' .

Im not a huge fan of his MC'ing style but I certainly wasnt criticising his character as a man. Going on what you've said, he sounds like a top guy

[Bard of Boxrec]

The worst has to be that Mike Goodall guy. Haven't seen him for a while though.

[The Insider]

You wouldn't mind but you'd think it'd jog his memory when Paul had bis surname on his shorts.

[DazBoxingFan]

His voice is annoying he's a tit

I don't see what my state of inebriation has to do with anything. Sober or wrecked, the intro's in the fight were a cock up from start to finish.

I'm not disputing the fact that beneath the growling lies a decent bloke, but as a half wit who pays good money to SKY to watch their programs, I feel entitled to criticise a performance like that.

Forgetting to introduce Dodson is to some extent explainable, but the substitution of Smith with an indecipherable growl is just not cricket.

That was funny. It sounded like a kid spitting out bad food.

[the truth]

Paul Ler? An Didnt introduce Dodson but got everything else right? Def something up there prob done on purpose cos they pissed match room off in some way, neither are match room fighters.

OH CHRIST NOT DRUGS

1. Using the 'he was on drugs, m'lord' defence doesn't work if everybody else saw exactly the same thing happen

2. Bifter is not LSD

3. I take it back. This is what forcefraser turned into that terrible night:

[littlekinny]

John has been in and around the game for donkey's years. Everyone has the odd off night. He's apologised (more times than he should, in my opinion) Cut him some slack.

He's always rubbish. I don't care if he apologises they should get someone better.

Horse, would you do the job at a show if I sorted it out for you to have a go?

I would!!!

[TheCobra]

From Liverpooool...... Paul.....Eeeeuuuuurrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[taffytoon]

He didn't even announce Dodson

[the truth]

Match room being pricks, funny how he got everything else right isn't it! Prob cos smith with warren, wankers

No I don't, you seriously telling me he Didnt know smith & dodsons names even if he had???
It was def done on purpose I'm telling ya

I agree, replacing somebodies surname with a sound that a vomiting 14 year old makes after too much cider is not a random mistake, a mistake is mispronunciation or something.

[cocobongo]

i actually thought he was begininng to say paul "real gone kid" smith and maybe forgot the full nickmane so just carried on with the rrr was very funny!

[forcefraser]

He must have done it on purpose. What other explanation can there be?

I have watched it dozens of times now. It`s brilliant.

[TheWigwam]

First time I've been brought to tears laughing for a while, just got me that did Got everything else right though and I don't think he's as bad as some are making out

My 9 year old daughter has no clue about boxing for obvious reasons, but after showing her the growl and explaining what he should have said instead, she loves it.

Last night as I was walking past her room, I heard the growl being repeatedly replayed, follwed by solid giggling. It`s nice to see the youth of today taking an interest in boxing, regardless of the reasons behind it.

Too funny, laughing as I type. Feel sorry for McDonald, he's had a nightmare there.

[black panther]

"With 32 wins, 18 inside the distance and only 3 defeats; Paul ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIRRRRRR!"

Hahahaha!

John McDonald;

[youngrell]

I say lets see more of him, fecking comedy watching that again.

[reggaereggae]

I've always liked John mcDonald. When he gets it right it sounds great, and he looks the part of an MC. He's not perfect however
