Poll: Michael Buffer or Jimmy Lennon Jr?
At times, for big fights in vegas, both have been very favourable. I remember around the days of Tyson/Holyfield, Lennon Jr was majorly in favour. Nowadays we see alot more of Michael Buffer for the big fights. Which do you prefer? Showtime or Let's get ready to rumble?
Re: Poll: Michael Buffer or Jimmy Lennon Jr?
Definitely Michael Buffer, he's the king of Ring Announcers

haha, haven't seen the contender. I know I should but I never got around to it.
The worst commentator I've evr heard is the dude from the Ricky Hatton DVD. His voice is just plain horrible. If you saw the replay of the Maussa fight on Setanta, he did the commentary for that. Just horrible.
Re: Poll: Michael Buffer or Jimmy Lennon Jr?
Gotta give my man Jimmy a vote. I know he doesn't have that big "lets get ready to rumble" line but I love hearing him before the fights when "its showtime". He kinda has that old timers voice.
Re: Poll: Michael Buffer or Jimmy Lennon Jr?
Michael Buffer is THE boxing announcer that all others are and will be compared to....
Re: Poll: Michael Buffer or Jimmy Lennon Jr?
I know I am in the minority but I like Jimmy Lennon Jr......"Alright fight fans here....we.....go"
Re: Poll: Michael Buffer or Jimmy Lennon Jr?
Buffer all the way.
I can only imagen what its like to have him call out your name.
However, there is an announcer in New England that sounds just like the old old style announcer with that high pitch, raspy voice. That is just old school, and Classic.

Here's the Contender guy, listen to his intro of Peter Manfredo and picture Captain Caveman :-\
No style, no finesse just screams at the top of his lungs ;D

It's a tough choice...I think they're both great, and it'll be hard to replace either of em. Hence why I made the poll ;D
Re: Poll: Michael Buffer or Jimmy Lennon Jr?
Goddamnit, work computer doesn't have sound. Don't they realise I use work time for Saddo time? Inconsiderate bastards.
I'll check it when I get home and get downloading from the file sharing board later.
Re: Poll: Michael Buffer or Jimmy Lennon Jr?
I like jimmy coz he seems more down to earth than buffer but on announcing ability buffer wins imo.
Re: Poll: Michael Buffer or Jimmy Lennon Jr?
This should be a landslide. Lennon sucks.
Michael Buffer is a pimp.
