Too bad he's annoying as fuck, he continually rolls his R's in Spanish at the wrong words, . Give me Jimmy Lennon Jr anytime over Buffer. opcorn:
NO, no, NOOOOOOOOOO kimba, no. I hate Jimmy. He looks like such a drip, has a meak voice, and no presence. Wrong rolling R's or not, Buffer just eminates showbiz, a big fight, and simply has presence.
Jimmy has his old man's voice and style. He's got that old school delivery. Buffer is all show and no substance...and the exaggerated rolling of the R's makes me wanna shoot him in the face. ::
Fuck that. Buffer's voice use to be associated with Boxing, now its associated with every major sporting event. I like Lennon.
Hate to say it but agreed. I work at a news station and the anchors men and women wear so much shit on their face it easily makes them look a decade younger then they actually are.
jimmy Lennon jr = Jimmy lennon sr. they sound the same, they look the same...hell they are the same fucking person (Petre)
I love the old school guys. Everywhere from the turn of the century to the 70's, some of the American announcers were brilliant. Jimmy Lennon Jr? No. He has nothing, not the voice, not the looks, not the charisma, not the presence. He is just a pasty little ginger worm.
You cannot get more old school than Jimmy Lennon Sr...and like Jaws said...Jimmy Lennon Jr is an exact clone of his late father. opcorn:
RIDICULOUS! You guys are just overcompensating because Buffer's the more appreciated announcer. This is very childish and proves nothing. It's not even close. NOT EVEN CLOSE. Michael Buffer epitomizes Ring Announcing. What's da matter with you guys. You would substitute "LLLLLLLLLLETS get RRRRRRREADY to RUMBLLLLLE" with "IIIIIIIt's Showtime!" :doh:
Yeah, lets get ready to rumble doesnt do shit for me anymore. Its played out. He does it at Basketball Games, Hocky Games, Baseball Games, Football Games, Boxing Events, Little League WS, Graduations, Wrestling, Howard Stern's Crazie Cabbie vs. Stuttering John & Crazie Cabbie vs. Angry Black, If you got about 200,000.00, you can get him to say it anywhere. Fuck him.
Jimmy Lennon Jrs is annoying. Why the fuck does he have to repeat "introducing" three times when he introduces one fighter? Also I agree that he lacks charisma. When you hear Buffer's voice, you know the fight is meaningful
Bullshit. The fight isnt meaningful because of Buffer. Buffer is over used. Anyone or anything can use Buffer.
Yeah people want to hear lets get ready to rumble. Shit is stupid now. Its Overexposed. If you need a ring announcer to get you pumped for a fight, than you arent a real boxing fan. The fight alone should have you pumped.
both Buffer and Lennon jr. are good and have their own styles that have worked for them for years. How about the Telefutura guy - Lupe contreras? "quien es mas macho"? ::
I agree that it has been overused. I also agree that you don't really need the announcers at all. However when you do have them, at least you should have a good one like Buffer, not a Mickey Mouse like Lennon :tease: ::
