Favourite Ronaldisms round by round

[CaptainSpacerod]

Monastic devotion

[dookus]

"Now he is ready to put another Eubank name into the boxing history..."

[handsofstone]

He called the ropes "the strands"

[milpool]

I just wish he'd take a breath.

[Cholo_cws]

He does my head in. I think he forgets he's not on the radio.

[craigjenkins05]

Why he can't just say missed and has to say "missed by a country mile" kills me

[handsofstone]

In his defence he does read a fight as well as anyone

[CaptainSpacerod]

He kept referring to their records as ledgers tonight.

Didnt watch the haye promotion on friday but my old man said he managed to use the word “denouement” in commentary.

[CaptainSpacerod]

Did anyone see adam bloody smith sat ringside during the walsh lowe fight spending most of his time staring at his phone. Poor show from someone in his position.

[ElJefe]

This is true. He rattles on a bit and some of his phrases are weird but he's clearly someone who loves and knows the sport and doesn't push any narrative. I like him, would listen to him over the vast majority of other commentators that we have to put up with.

Ron was on point

[orbtastic]

They should get him to interview Eubank Sr, at length.

[Oiky]

I lost count of the amount of times he said 'a lovely 1-2 salvo' in the gassiev-dorticos fight

[littlepug]

The guy is a legend in the making

[punchers chance]

He likes 'Stanza' for round.

After watching three distance fights I think I'd had more than enough Ronaldisms by the end of last night.

But to be fair he is a decent commentator, although tries a bit too hard to say something, as most commentators do.
I'm sure him and Richie will be disappointed they didn't spot Groves shoulder injury in round 12. that was poor.

[Sklar]

Agree with the gents saying that Ron reads a fight well. He does. He’s a good commentator for sure but would benefit from making more of a distinction between radio and television work.

[keirw]

I like Ronald but i did feel his claim that "Groves is touching him up in the corner" may lead to a defamation law suit at some point in the future.

He said that a few times. I was laughing my head off "Groves is, again, touching Eubank up in the corner".

Monastic devotion

WTF does that even mean?

[PredatorHayds]

Shame there wasn’t a decision of the split variety

Monastic refers to monks - so he's saying someone has shown an almost religious level of dedication towards training for example. Good phrase!

[sweetscience]

I don't mind him, but he did annoy me when he gave Groves weigh in weight in pounds, then fight night weight stones..... what is this mate a fuking maths test

[CaptainSpacerod]

The only disappointing aspect of ITV's excellent coverage was that Ron didn't spring out of his commentary chair to do the post fight interviews in the ring. I always enjoy his interminably long questions.
