Most Dramatic Commentating Moment..

[JT Rock]

I know Boxing is obviously not like Baseball so there is no play by play call like a Dramatic Homerun but can you recall watching a fight during a dramatic moment in the fight and how the commentator was calling the action.

One of the ones that sticks out to me was Gatti vs Ward in the 10th and Ward had Gatti in some bad trouble and Jim Lampley called it like this

"STOP IT FRANK(REFEREE) YOU CAN STOP IT AT ANYTIME ARTURO GATTI'S OUT ON HIS FEET!!!!!

AND FRANK CAPUCCINO GONNA LET THEM CONTINUE"


how bout you guys??

[El Kabong]

"BOOM and Rahman goes down on a HUGE right hand by Lennox Lewis" - Lampley for Rahman-Lewis II

What a boom that was sounded like a shotgun
good choice

Harry Carpenter's commentary when Fan Man landed in the ring during Holyfield/Bowe?

- IAN DARKE . BOWE - HOLYFIELD 3

OOOOOh wonderful shot by Lennox Lewis and hes laid out Hasim Rahman

- IAN DARKE - LEWIS - RAHMAN 2

Barrera does look abit tired but LOOK AT HIM COMEBACK . OH DEAR THIS IS A REAL BARN BURNER OF A FIGHT !

- IAN DARKE - BARRERA MORALES 1

Adam Smiths commentary on Williams - Potter was funny cuz his voice broke but I cant remember it word for word , I just remember him shouting " hes coming "

I remember shuddering as Jim Watt stated in about round 10 of the Hatton Tsyu fight - "This is incredible - Hatton is going to win this"...think he got a bit over excited and if ever there was a kiss of death remark, this was it. Luckily though Jim was right!

A bit off subject but an amusing quote from Alan Minter - "Sure there have been injuries and deaths in boxing, but none of them are that serious"

Boxing commentaters fail to excite me... their lack of knowlodge on boxing (not boxers...) winds me up too much sometimes...

"and he's down!!!!!!...Down goes Fraiser!!!!!Down Goes Fraiser!!!!Down Goes Frasier!!!!!" Howard Cosell Ali/Frasier.....

Did he really say that?

LOL, I know he was meant to be a bit of a pompous prat, but I always thought he was on the ball as a commentator...

Being a bit flippant, the one I remember from the immortal Harry's commentary, was on Smith/Bruno...

"He (Bonecrusher) has hurt him with the right! Oh no it is Jumbo Cummings all over again, no... no.... NO!!!


Bruno came out with a classic in a fight at Elland Road between Henry Wharton and Fidel Castro Smith (Slugger O'Toole) midway though the 12th...

"If Wharton has won this, then there is something corrupt happening"


Your winner by decision... Henry Wharton!
