I love that fight!!! CC Mate.....TBH IMO announcers can make a moment even more exciting if they are decent and comeout with the right catch line...

When Tyson went down and the ref waved him out...Lampley screams out with true excitement (I think he wanted Tyson to lose lol)...

"LENNOX LEWIS HAS BANISHED MIKE TYSON FROM THE UPPER STRATOSPHERE OF THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION"...Classic Stuff




Another all time favorite by an announcer....

Larry Merchant turning his back on Frank Warren and Rolling his eyes when Frank tried to get a word in after the Manfredo fight and Larry interviewd Calzaghe...The look on Warrens face was priceless enough for a Mastercard commercial....

Ricky Hatton licking his hand and fixing Larry's hair in a post fight interview
There was a post probably two months ago that asked about everyone's favorite commentating team. If i remember correctly, the majority of people HATED Jim Lampley. In my opinion, anyone who thinks Jim Lampley isn't good for boxing commentary is completely off the reservation. He makes fights that much more interesting to me.

Everytime I watch the last round of Corrales vs Castillo when Corrales turned the fight around, I always wonder how much more exciting that moment would've been with Lampley calling the action.
I don't really like or dislike Lampley, but Merchant grows on you like an inoperable tumor and Kellerman gives me the creeps. He should have played Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs. I would rather have Lewis, Foreman and Jones Jr. commentating
I used to hate Merchant! I thought he was such a d*ck the way he used to make people feel like crap with his interviews. Now I love the man. I can't explain why, I just do. I don't like Kellerman either. Yet again, I can't explain why, I just do. Foreman's quotes are just the best!
