Alright, let's face it: Lampley WILL BE the blow by blow guy. No way in Hell does Mauro Renalo call the biggest fight in history over Lamps. Who will the rest of the team be?
In a PERFECT World, it'd Be Lamps, Paulie & Roy, in REED's Opinion... Paulie's More POLISHED than Roy, Verbally, so he'd Be the PERFECT Middle Man for Lamps & Roy (Who ALREADY have On-Air Chemistry)...Roy & Lamps Would have No Problem Being Critical of Floyd, if Need Be, & Paulie Could Be There to Safeguard AGAINST a Pacquiao Lovefest... Renalo & his MANUFACTURED, WWE/MMAish On-Air Voice Doesn't Need to Be ANYWHERE NEAR a Fight of this Magnitude... REED:nono:
Agreed 1000%! Lamps, Paulie, and Roy would be PERFECT! And in a REALLY perfect world, bring in Merchant for interviews.
Hate or love Lampley, there's something truly electric about hearing him say "TALE OF THE TAPE......" before fighters ring walks for a big fight.
Floyd Probably has it in the CONTRACT, that Merchant Can't Come within 500yds of the MGM Grand, on May 2nd... REED:mj:
It's going to be Lamps, Bernstein and Roy. Kellerman and Jim Gray will be reporters. James Brown and Paulie will host the pre-fight show.
Yeah, Jones gets worse every year. But Paulie has been bought by Haymon so I guess I don't really care who does it.
Mannix reported this stuff like an hour after the fight was announced. http://www.si.com/boxing/2015/02/20/floyd-mayweather-manny-pacquiao-fight-mgm-grand-may-2
Thanks. :bears: I don't like him as much anymore. He never seems prepared. Not as sharp with the tongue as he was when he was young.
WOW!!!... REED Doesn't Recall that Happening Since Carbajal - Gonzalez I...& the Shit was AWKWARD as Hell... REED:mj:
REED Recalls the Line of "Security" Dorks "Separating" Tyson and Lewis, but he Didn't Remember Dual Ring Announcers, for Some Reason... No BIG Deal, but a Bit of OVERKILL, in REED's Opinion...Just as Lamps is the Premier Guy @ What he Does, So Too is Buffer... Here's the 1st Time they Did it Together...Carbajal-Gonzalez I...Forward to the 2:15 Mark... [video=youtube;VQnyKC5cvCE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQnyKC5cvCE[/video] REED:mj:
Kellerman and Malignaggi.....zKellerman will be hype the fuck up like a real boxing fan...and Malignaggi will be on point with his breakdown of the fight...n what is happening inthe ring... ....Berstein or whatever is BORINNNNNNGG....ROy is annoying....
The Buffer/Lennon joint announcement at Lewis-Tyson was cool. I remember everybody waiting for the famous line from Buffer and he left it till the very last moment, as the security was leaving the ring, "and that leaves me with just one thing left to say...", awesome shit.
Lennon, Jr. is QUALITY, for Certain...But his Nasally, High Pitched Voice has Always IRKED REED a Bit... They BOTH Take their Craft Seriously, but Buffer has Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Better PIPES... REED:mj:
Bullshit! Buffer announcing Tyson in the Spinks fight was better than ANY Lennon introduction of Tyson. Buffer's best introduction was of Roy. For some reason, he seemed to save his best for introducing Roy. Buffer is better than Lennon. Get over it! This is the biggest fight of all time. It absolutely CANNOT go without a "Lets Get Ready To Rumble"
