Too much of a good thing is bad, though..... and I used to get worn out just watching Naz's interminable magic carpet ride into the ring.
Then there's poor Usman Ahmed of dancing fame, who spent what seemed like 15 minutes dancing into the ring, and a few seconds in the ring before getting KTFO'ed.
After the ring walk and the participants are in the ring, the people in the ring, the announcer riddling off all of the official and particular news items of the night, and then he starts to get to the particulars of the participants- Man, it is a part of the game. It makes things feel special, ya know? Not to sound dorkish or cuck-like, but man there is a special feel to it- Like something special and important is about to take place!

Re: Boxing weirdos- Do you like the ring introductions?
Michael Buffer's let's get ready to rumble ring introduction is hard to top. & Mills Lane's "let's get it on" another one that can't be topped.
I remember at one IBHOF, Joe Cortez got a lot of laughs musing on how he had about a dozen quotes before he came to "I'm firm but fare." Some really sad ones.
Anyone know the ring announcer that says whose mas macho? "Let's do this" that was pretty lame.
Ring intros by fighters are so overdone now, alot like SuperBowl Commericals, they've had their run and no loner creative. Hamed's are legendary, period!:cool:

What about Cory Spinks? Something about him always seemed a little off walking to the ring. From yesterday I'd say Danny Garcia..what's up with the mask. Always painted different colors and looks like something out of a 'Purge' movie.

I thought Danny Garcia would have quit the game after the Porter loss. But I guess not!? To be fair, he lost the Thurman and Porter figths on his own inability to throw punches in bunches- like a Puerto Rican Adrien Broner.
But I noticed after he stopped Granados last time out he called out everyone, from Pacquiao to Porter and even Thurman, but stopped short on calling out Crawford....lolololol.... let alone Errol Spence.
;D;D
Re: Boxing weirdos- Do you like the ring introductions?
I'm cool for whatever get up want to have on the ring walk. Whatever music. If it gets you focused, fine.. but don't drag your feet or start dancing or singing along at the top of your lungs. Sometimes i wish a training would reach out of the pack and smack the fighter upside the back of the head and mush him toward the ring. Go out win the fight and celebrate after by leaving the ring however you like.
So someone like Demarcus Corley and his home made outfits/masks are fine. He walked to the ring, climbed the steps, his name was announced, he took it off and was ready to fight. Fools like Broner dancing all the way to the ring, roy's album plug, thriller videos, flying carpets and all that nonsense takes all the gas out of a fight for me. (especially if its a dull fight or a 1st round walkover). Also I hate cameras in the fighters face with the spotlight. Last thing a fighter needs is seeing spots and floaters going into the first round.
