    Seriously, listening to this bloke on sky sports over the past few years has been nothing short of shambolic and tonight was the final straw for me. What fight was he watching?

    It was a close fight, i scored it a draw, but it could have gone either way. His final scorecard and comments throughout the fight were disgracefully one sided. He's been a ****** for years and it's time to sack him. People give buncey stick on here, but give me steve over this thick geordie numpty any day.

    He took some serious beatdowns in his career so maybe they have taken their toll? If that's not the case than he is just a natural DUNCE. Discuss.

    So he still scored it reasonably close. That doesn't mean he's "brain damaged":patsch

    I scored it for Crolla, does that mean I should seek help and a brain surgeon? I dunno, he's better than Jim Watt fight commentators are always a bit annoying most of the time.

    Fights are subjective,he correctly picked the same winner that the judges collectively did
    That ain't easy believe it or not

    Look at teddy atlas a man who knows his stuff,he gets it 'wrong'

    McCrory is a middle of the road kind of pundit - talks some sense but can then can come out with some crap to balance it. In terms of last night's commentary though, it's worth remembering he had Sky's Head of Boxing sat next to him who was clearly spouting forth from a blatant agenda instead of commentating on what was happening in front of him. In that sense you can't blame McCrory for wanting to stay on the right side of the boss!

    Glenn McCrory is one of the most honest straightforward guys you can meet, serous I haven't heard to cooks try but it's just one mans opinion that may differ for anothers,remember this man won a world title and does loads of charity work so I think he deserves loads more respect.

    A disgusting thread. To have a title like that is bad regardless of freedom of speech.
