John Mcdonald

[tedley]

Who is not from Clovelly !
How long will it be before he throws up over someone who he is introducing ?

[black panther]

"Paaaaaul RAAAAAAAREURGH!!!"

Translation: "Paul Smith".

McDonald is terrible. I sincerely hope he is cheap and that's the reason they keep him. I believe many a man would do a better job: where the hell is Michael Pass when you need him?

[robster]

He was getting some stick on twitter tonight and biting back

[GooalaShooola]

He's a blight on all Matchroom shows. Boxing isn't darts.

AAAIIIHGDDYYGSTTTSSS FFFIIHHGHHYGTGHYYYYDDTT NNIIIGHHTSSTTERT LLLLLLIIIIIIIIIFFFVFVFVFVFVVEEEEEEE.

Jesus.

[Ian1973]

He's abysmal.

[crusader]

I doubt that I'll ever forget the Paul Smith introduction. One of the funniest things I've seen in the ring.

And then after 'PAUL EEEEYYYYIIIIII' people don't seem to notice he didn't even announce Tony Dodson.

He the best in the business is John

[gasman]

I have met him briefly once or twice and he is an absolute gentleman, he is a very good MC as well.

[Sklar]

Top man.

I love his occasional balls-up. It's part of the fun.

Infact if I was Paul Smith , I'd get him to do me a personal answerphone message saying "Hi , this is Paul Rrrrggggnnnnnnh !!! and I am currently unavailable to take your message."

haha

[fantaheed]

The guy is a joke for anyone to say he is the best in the business is either good mates with him or deaf as a post!

He can't pronunce any name, every fight is fight of the year and when announcing split decisions his tone gives it away every time! If a match room fighter he is buzzing and if not close to suicidal. Suited to matchroom the way they are heading

[rossij8]

I actually think he is very good - normally very clear and crisp

It is maybe because he is Matchroom based and does the darts etc - may come across to purists as a non specialist when it comes to the boxing

The Its Fight Night Liveeeeee introduction possibly doesn't do him any favours

No way Billy

[MightyWarrior]

The man's an idiot and belongs in a bingo hall. Eddie probably uses him as he works for peanuts.

[tony1234]

I just can't take to him or Mark Burdiss as MC's, if John cut out the catchphrases and unnecessary growling it would be a start, I always thought Michael Pass was far superior but for whatever reason isn't used at all now

Oh come on, lets be serious here.
You can't let the fact he's a lovely man cloud the fact that he is an awful ring announcer.

I remember having a very similar conversation about Michael Pass and people on here telling me how nice a bloke he was.
He could be fecking Ghandi for all i care, he had a bloody horrible voice and should never have been given a microphone

[hurlock]

It's not easy to do!! & there's not many that can do it, simple as

There are many up and down the Country that do it week in and week out who are far better than JM

Occasional? Doesn't he balls it up more than he gets it right though?

[Coco]

Top MC and top guy

[tedley]

I love him !
Who else could you get who threatens to spew over boxers just waiting to do battle.
Just look at the apprehensive faces .

[hurlock]

If it ain't buffer or Lennon I couldn't give a hoot!
