    Very sad news indeed, trained some truly brilliant fighters in his time and made a good commentator in my opinion. He'll be sorely missed in the world.

    Sad news.

    Clancy was a very good and respected trainer and his commentating together with Tim Ryan made one of the best tandems ever.

    RIP.

    He'll likely get a memorial 10-count of silence on ESPN2 tomorrow, assuming they know of it.

    Same here.....he was simply one of the very best.

    Poor Gil was never the same after losing his daughter.

    Clancy was the ****ing man, the coolest old dude ever. He was a walking boxing encyclopedia, the man has so much knowledge, very wise. This is the saddest boxing death for me since Alexis Arguello.:-(
