Gil Clancy Passes at 88
Just read this on fightnews. I guess if your around my age (40ish) he, along with Howard Costell & the horrible Dr. Pacheco were the voice of boxing in the late 70's to early 80's if you watched network boxing. I always thought he was very insightful and an excellent commentator. RIP Mr. Clancy.

Re: Gil Clancy Passes at 88
What a shame when im watching old fights, and hear him commentating. He really knew his boxing and would always be fair and knowledgable with his comments, a true loss to the sport R.I.P Gil.
I also liked how he would have little friendly digs, at Angelo Dundee about the split glove when they were commentating together.

A great trainer, worked with Emile Griffith, among others.

RIP Gil. A true ATG trainer who stood the test of time and deserves his mention alongside the likes of Angelo Dundee. Also a good commentator too.

Re: Gil Clancy Passes at 88
This thread didnt get enough support. Gil Clancy was 1 of the voices i remember from childhood, i especially remember his postfight interview with george foreman after the ron lyle fight. very distinctive voice and always loved to hear Gil commentate fights. you knew you were in there with a great boxing mind and enjoyed the fight even more with Gil doing it.
Circa 1985
