Fortuitous / Prescient Announcing

[Manju]

While watching the always entertaining Terry Norris v Julian Jackson fight, I noticed a timely statement from Dan Deirdoff.

Norris was out-boxing the Champ and landing the heavier blows in a dominant 1+ rounds. At best, the 1-punch KO artist on the receiving end of these crisp rapid-fire blows was just beginning to find his range. But at 1:42 in the 2nd, for very little reason whatsoever, other than to demonstrate psychic ability, Deirdoff says;

“Again, the incredible Knockout ratio from Julian Jackson.”

At that very moment, BOOM!…one of the greatest 1-punch KO’s in boxing history.



Unlike the beautiful Foreman-Moorer “It Happened!”, this occurred before the salient action. The only other one I have off the top of my head is this:

ODLH v Quartey: As the final round begins, Jim Lampley presciently says:

"ODLA has a reputation as an amateur and a professional of fighting great closing rounds when he needs to. Never in his long career has he more badly needed a great closing round than right now."

2 seconds later: BOOM! Quartey hits the canvas. For background music, George Foreman’s rumblings about ODLH being “the bravest man in the ring” didn’ t hurt.



So, what other examples are there?
