I liked it during Ike Quartey-Vernon Phillips when Roy Jones said something about Quartey having to be careful because Phillips is dangerous and 2 seconds later, Quartey goes down from Vernon's left hook.

Holyfield/MoorerII round 5 One of my Favorite Holyfield fights of all time.

This is the guy from showtime I always forget his name since he hasnt done broadcasting for them in years, but I never liked him and I love how he was making this observation then wham open mouth insert foot;D

You know everyman has a bullet with his name on it Michael Moorer might just be the bullet in Evan.........OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

look at the 2:42 mark of the clip and then it happens

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rUkv...eature=related

Just as he was finishing that statement Evander Holyfield absolutely obliterated Moorer with an Upper Cut, Left Hook and Shotgun of a right hand Combo that snapped Moorer back as he staggered then went down... Beautiful timing by Holyfield like it was all scripted.

"It happened, it happened" - Jim Lampley after Foreman KO'd Moorer.

Its over . its over ! Lewis wins sensationally, and now will they belive in Lennox Lewis

Niiiice one.That was Mensa-man Booby Bobby Czyz.I loved that fight,Moorer was bounced like a beach ball but just would not stay down.Poor Bobby fell on some hard times vs. The bottle,One of the better Fighters turned Commentators Imo.

My fav call of all time was when Roy Jones KO'd Virgill Hill with a body shot and George Foreman started yelling UNHEARD OF, UNHEARD OF. It was great.

I tried to find a clip of it on youtube, but it doesnt have the HBO feed. :(

"Theres a new expression in the South called "crunk" from the Southern hip hop music. It means "hot", this fight figures to be "crunk." -Larry Merchant (As the bell was about to sound for Pavlik-Miranda)

"That is a modern boxing classic" - Max Kellerman (As Margarito is stops Cotto)

"And another triumph for Mexico in the on going war with Puerto Rico" - Jim Lampley (After Margarito-Cotto)

I LOVED Cosell's commentary during the Foreman/Lyle brawl.

"This is WHOLLY without boxing skill!"

"This is NOT artistic, but it is SLUGGING!"

"Now George struct back! George struck back!"



Speaking of George he had a GREAT line during the Roy Jones/Richard Hall fight.

For any of you who never seen this fight, Jones pounded Hall with brutal powershots for 11 rounds in one of his most impressive performances. After a brutal round, Hall staggers back to his corner, and his trainer dumps water on him to revive him.

Trainer: (wanting to dry him off) gimme the towel!

Foreman: Throw it in.

Always loved that little line by Foreman.

Larry Merchant: (as nazeem enters the ring for kelly fight) This might be the end of civilization as we know it..

Bernard hopkins hbo helping On the buildup for tito - joppy.. and on his prediction for the fight, When said to hopkins.. so you think joppy is in deep water?.. Hopkins nods and replies.. : "Real deep.. The ocean.."

Mayweather vs Bruseles

Lampley shouts to Mayweather " Eagles or the Falcons Floyd "

as floyd is boxing Bruseles he turns and says " I like Michael Vick " lmao!

An A-Bomb, from A-Rod. Yankees win.... Theeeeeeeeeeee Yankees win!

Sorry, can't help it.

"Mugabi is up but he's on Queer street" - Dan Dierdof (After Norris knocks him down)

"Corrales coming back after being down twice here in the 10th. Corrales wailing, Castillos in trouble. Weeks steps in and the fight is OVERRRR!!!" - Steve Albert (Conclusion of Chico-JLC I)

Louie Lomelli's is on queer street - not sure who said it but it was when SWEETPEA iced him.

also a pre fight quote - Dumas will feel the hurt , by Kid Thunder :LOLATYOU:

Im sure Jimmy Lampley had a great line before he brutalised that fitty miss cali he was with :p

"And Roy Jones Jr gets his vindication via a first round knockout" Jim Lampley after RJJ KO'd Montell Griffin

not really about announcing but does anyone remember jones - glen kelly?!

When Merkerson was like.. Cmon roy we got somewhere to be..

And after in the interview jim lamps was asking roy alton said you have to be somewhere so wrap it up this round..

Roy said.. yeah we just met some new friends and got invited to a beach party all fans or ROY JONES JRRR..Lol :):p

Tito you just reminded me of something regarding Roy Jones vs Glen Kelly fight i remember in one of the rounds the commentators spent an entire round speaking about Roy Jones vs Sugar Ray Leonard/Thomas Hearns i think that just shows how good Roy Jones was.
