Ron McIntosh radio 5

[nobleart1978]

I made the mistake of having the Wood - Lara fight on the radio.

OMG !!!

What is Ron McIntosh on about: " and both boxers are in the ring at number 5 on the clock face"

wtf is this guy on about ???

[handsofstone]

Ronald McIntosh is a commenting God, slander will not be tolerated


His Ronism's are both genius and hilarious in equal measure

[Ruthless-RKO]

We need to protect big Ron.

He’s a fvxkin gem!

I wish he did TV commentary again.

He doesn’t chat beans like most.

I’d rather not understand the commentators.

[THEBUTCH]

I listened to the live broadcast yesterday....Ron, Buncey and Jones did a very good job

[Fearful_Freddie]

Mad as a box of frogs but you can't diss Ron. Definitely adds to the entertainment.

[blanca]

Did he used the word 'discombobulate'? I'd rather listen to crazy Ron than Costello, which is strange cos Costello was decent on the radio. Reckon having Eddeh's balls down his throat is a big behavioural influence.

"He bends his opponent in half like an accordion"......

[handsofstone]

"He bends his opponent in half like an accordion"......

[Teddy's Toupee]

"He bends his opponent in half like an accordion"......

"He's huffing and puffing like an out of tune hurdy-gurdy."

Love Big Ron, Costello has been a real disappointment and hopefully there will be a rethink

[rhino222]

I love big Rons commentary, and a lovely fella too.

'and he folded like a pack of cards'

'and he folded like a blackpool deckchair'

'and the left hook to the temple completely discombobulated him'

'as brave as a badger and twice as game'

'and the bell to end the round must have sounded like a complete orchestra.

"There's a tomato tint to his opponent's face"

[Coco]

Ron and Smith could have a competition to show who understands least about boxing.

[rd350lc]

Can't beat a good Ronism ,
Guy genuinely loves his boxing .

[forcefraser]

He's exhaling his cheeks like a set of bellows

[THEBUTCH]

you've got to love big Ron !

I enjoyed the live commentary on Radio 5 and watching the fight in full today, they all (McIntosh, Buncey, Jones...plus a bit of input from Froch) did a really good job.

They also had a lot of time to kill before the 1st bell went and, again, they made great use of the time and each showed their knowledge and enthusiasm for the sport

[Teddy's Toupee]

"There's a tomato tint to his opponent's face"

"Under the hot ring lights he has the colouring of an over-ripe kumquat"
Crazy commentary there from the Ronster!

[Teddy's Toupee]

He's exhaling his cheeks like a set of bellows

"He's wheezing like a punctured bicycle wheel after that blistering body shot hit him smack in the solar plexus"
Another nugget of Ronster gold!

[TheLeprechaun]

[maverick23]

I really struggle listening to big Ron. He says 10 words when 2 will do.

I’d go as far to say he’s my least favourite U.K. commentator.

[margaret thatcher]

imagine what his dirty talk is like

[gerryd77]

imagine what his dirty talk is like

[Counter-puncher]

He's exhaling his cheeks like a set of bellows

"He's wheezing like a punctured bicycle wheel after that blistering body shot hit him smack in the solar plexus"
Another nugget of Ronster gold!

[nobleart1978]

I get the feeling he'd be a better boxing writer than a commentator.

He's got some great sayings don't get me wrong, but they belong in descriptions of fights in a book on say, Tom Cribb.
