Okay who do you prefer, Jimmy "It's Showtime" Lennon Jr or Michael "Let's Get Ready To Rumble" Buffer.
Has to be Buffer IMO, anyone remember for Hatton-PBF "Somebodys 0 has gotta go" ;D classic

Yeah, 'Love that line also. He'll have that copyrighted too.Quote:

Buffer all the way... His brother is pretty good too...
Buffer with out a doubt
Buffer, for the simple reason, his hair. Its crazy. Noone has hair cuts like that round here.
Got to give it up for Jimmy Lennon Jr.
"Alright fight fans, HERE WE GO"
I am no fan of Buffer, he's not old school like Lennon Jr.
I like both...But if I were a boxer I would want Buffer for the job...
Jimmy's alright... but Buffer's better.
I go with Lennon. He just does the job. Buffer thinks he's part of the attraction. His intros fucking drag.
Michael Buffer. Straight from central casting and can even roll his r's when pronouncing Hispanic names. It just doesn't seem like a proper big fight without the let's get ready to rumble line. Not sure about the necktie he was wearing last night though.
Buffer is much better. It doesn't truly feel like a big fight if he's not there.
jimmy jr is the man
he speaks fuckin japanese when he does k1
His spanish is more fluent than Buffer too.Quote:

I guess I'd take Jimmy; like VD says, he gets right to it and doesn't try to be a main fixture in the event.
I like that dude on ESPN. He has dreadlocks in a ponytail and looks like a speed-freak, but has a good voice:D
I'm going with Buffer even though I like Jimmy too. Buffer makes me laugh with the things he says and the way he says it. I think he used to take himself a bit too serious but now he seems to say things with half a smile knowing it's a bit over the top. In the Hatton-Maywether fight i knew he was going to say "Somebody's 0 has got to go" and i was strangely looking forward to it. I was even saying it around the house in the lead up to the fight, much to my family's annoyance, they told me to shut up. :eek:
Definitely Buffer...a fight just doesn't seem quite as big without him. LOL.
Lennon, I understand him very good clarity and to the point.
Gotta be buffer..although he doesn't always sound good some of the names just seem strange the way he drags them out. But
"let's get ready to ruuuuuummmblllee!!!!!"..thats classic
I take Lennon.
Buffer seems to drag the names in the wrong places.
:) I take Buffer , he put some Emocionally and Tension to the Events.
I like them both, but maybe lean a little bit towards Buffer.
Anyone is better than having to listen to Jeff Connor from The Contender. He has got to be the worst!
Just a few months ago we had this very thread, right?
Anyway - Jimmy Lennon Jr gets my vote, followed by Jimmy Lennon Sr.
Jr. sounds so much like his father.
That said, I like Buffer just fine. But classy Jimmy gets my vote.
I am a fan of both but I guess it depends on the bout. For fights that will be all out slugfeast and we kknow it EG- Vazquez Vs Marquez type bouts...(Just to stop anyone from posting it I know they fight on showtime and it will be lennon it is just an example)...I would like Buffer...The Let's Get Ready To Rumble line just pumps you up for what is about to take place....
Other then slugfest IMO Lennon is classier
"It's all the same...only the names will change..."
Jimmy is the best, Buffer looks like a hotdog sausage with a wig, hes too orange and his voice and lines are just pure cheese.
Jimmy is class, he reminds me of the old time anouncers, he should have one of those pull down mikes to add to the feel;D
I love the way he used to intruduce tyson
"and across the ring, really needing no introduction the world over, the former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, the youngest heavyweight champion of the world in the history of boxing, the former two time heavyweight champion of the world"
It was good and he had respect for Mike but when I used to watch Mikes fights id sometimes think c'mon! but it really did build the tension;D
I used to like Jimmy Lennon Jr but am now used to hearing Michael Buffer. It just feels like the fight night is not complete without his "Let's get ready to rrrrrrumble"; although he copied that from The Fink.
Actually, I read an interview with him where he admits he stole it from Ali, I think it may have been from the build up to the obvious rumble in the jungle
He deffo said he got it from Ali though
michael buffer by far
I gotta go against the buff and opt for the classy Jimmy L.
Though HBOs boxing coverage shits all over showtimes!!
Buffer all the way. Jimmy is so nasally with rat-like features. Michael looks and sounds like a retired pimp. :cool:
Buffer is an idiot so Jimmy Lenon Jr.
Bruce Buffer is terrrible.
I really could care less between the two... I will say this though. The SHOWTIME comentary is HORRIBLE! I almost always turn the sound off.
I'll take Lupe Contreras over both of them.
Buffer. At Hatton/Floyd, "Somebody's 0 has gotta go" :D
Never tire of Buffer's intros :cool:
Both have their own special way. I'd say I like 'em both.
