Greatest blow-by-blow/commentator lines of all time.

Besides the MOST famous "DOWN GOES FRAZIER!"

A few that stick out:

Of course, Barry Tompkins infamous "And WE..... have a new era..... in BOXING."

^^^^Even if you're not a Tyson fan, you have to admit. Thats an awesome line/moment that will forever live in boxing history.

Another that comes to mind is Lampley in the 10th round of Bowe-Holy 1 "REVERSING THE TIDE OF THE BATTLE!" I dunno why, but that line always gives me chills, and I'm no Holy fan.

I also LOVED Merchant's lead in right before the bell of DLH-Mosley 1 "Like the legend at ringside Muhammed Ali once said, Who will dare to be great? Who will be bolder? And who will be tougher?"

Others?

 

"Its nonsense"- Jim Lampley on the commentary of Harold Lederman.

 

The best ever. Pure genius.

 

"just goes to show there's no horse that can't be ridden and no rider that can't be thrown" - Merchant

"Yup, 'cause Shane mosley is being ridden and thrown right here!" -The Lampley

 

"AND NOW, NOW BIG GEORGE STRUCK BACK!!! NOW, NOW, BIG GEORGE FOUGHT BACK!!!!"

 

Lampley adds to the excitement...
"Power-shot, power-shot....that's Felix Trinidad."

Lampley fails to out-do himself...
"Pow! Pow! Pow!"

 

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Unheard of! Un.......heard...... of!" - Big George.

As a Roy fan, I always loved that one. Basically sums up prime Roy.

 

"The Whale has just been harpooned" Larry Merchant

 

"Can that....... man....... FIGHT!" - Merchant after Shane had just stopped that waste of sperm Marg.

Merchant ALWAYS loved Shane, but I gotta admit I loved that one. The last vintage performance of Shane's career, and he did us a service in the process.

 

"BOOM...will Rahman get up or have the tables been turned!" - The Lampley

No need to tell y'all what fight that's from.

 

I'm a lifetime Lewis hater, but I cant deny..... that was one of the most awesome right hands ever thrown.

 

Not sure I heard that one, but it's already my favourite.

 

::

Great one.. Sometimes I just can't help blurting it out when i see something amazing.

 

"HA! I gotta tell ya somethin Jim!"

I remember years ago, either in the S/O days or in the VERY early Fightbeat days, some poster once saying that Lederman always laughs before he gives his scores cause he's knows they're a joke.

 

LOL I will never forget the "POW! POW!" at the Manny fight. I could have swore he was drunk or something. Maybe Merchant hooked him up with some of his juice?

 

- OOOOooo He broke his legs!
- Don't be -

 

LMFAO!

George was comic relief.

 

haha. Glad George is off the air.

 

I liked Merchant's comment :

"Barrera playing the glockenspiel on Morales' ribs"

 

It had everything on it. Perfect way to get around Rahman's mummy guard.

 

"Two minutes to go. Maybe two minutes left in Julio Cesar Chavez' historic unbeaten streak"

approximately two minutes later.......

"Unbelievable! UNBELIEVABLE! Richard Steele stops the fight with fewer than 5 seconds to go. Your gonna watch Lou Duva go crazy now....You're gonna watch Lou Duva go absolutely berserk!"

 

"It happened! It happened!!!"

after Foreman KO'd Michael Moorer.

 

I think Lampley was trying to build on the success he'd had with the "power-shot" mantra he'd used to celebrate Trinidad, but it fell flat. And in the process, made us wonder if Lampley were, like you said, "drunk or something."

 

It was BANG ::

 

"Everybody is a paper title"

"If Roy Jones wins this fight, little guys will be picking on Shaquille O'Neal!"

"He better pull a Julio Cesar and run across the ring! AWWWWWW!!!!"

"It's Hagler, full of blood!"

 

that may be even worse. ::

whatever it was, i think it was an attempt by Lampley to interfere with the monotony of Pacquiao's beating Clottey's ass.

 

"Tony Tubbs is fat bug on Mike Tyson's windshield"

 

My favorite^

Steward is HILARIOUS when he gets excited... He sounds so ridiculous, I love it.

In Ward/Gatti after the crazy 9th round he yelled "PHEW! That's gotta be the round of the century!"

 

"oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!" when Ortiz knocked down Berto in round 6

 

"Tyson's punches don't just look different to other Heavyweights, they SOUND different" -the Incomparable Tompkins
