HBO Commentary trivia!!

Lennox vs Grant...1st Round...

GREAT Fight to REwatch...

REED::

 

"I'm Gonna Go Out on a Limb & Say that if _____ can Take a Punch, we're Gonna have Some Fun Tonight." - Merchant


REED

 

"E-LIGHT"

"SPARE-ing"



REED:dunno:

 

I got it first! :tease:

 

Jim Lampley - "....came into the ring tonight with the chosen identity: "Legend Killer". The headline for this fight should be, "Legend Kills"."

 

The end of Hopkins-Tarver

 

I think that was Bowe-Golota, but in truth Merchant has used a similar quote a few times.

 

:: Good ol' Manny.

 

Damn, REED, stop stalking RJJ's house!

 

"Look at those eyes....they're like big lamp posts....they see everything!"

 

Here's a bad guess: Mayweather versus Ndou.

 

That sounds like Foreman on Hamed.

 

:nono: to both of ya's.

 

Second bad guess: De La Hoya versus Carr.

 

Here's one...shouldn't be too hard:

Foreman "The fire...is gone."

 

Hopkins-Keith Holmes.

Foreman commenting on - and misinterpreting - Holmes' wide, big eyed stare (which was really about fear) - rounds later Holmes gets mauled and dominated. ::

Peace.

 

"Can you believe 28 out of 30 fighters picked ________? Where is the respect for ___________ ?"

 

"The referee is going to be the most important person in the ring tonight besides the fighters."

::

 

Naseem Hamed and Marco Antonio Barrera.

Jim Lampley is in love with Metalhead.

 

Mayweather-Hatton. ::

Jones-Ruiz. Foreman had some other good quotes that night too.

"It doesn't matter if you're 6 foot 12"

 

Iran Barkley


Ok...here's mine....


Harold Lederman: "Jim....I gotta tell ya."


TFK

 

barrera-hamed

 

Jones-Ruiz. I was almost going to post that earlier. ::

 

damn, good call on Barkley.

 

ah Erratic beat me on both. :flip:

An easy one as I leave for the night:

"And he closes the show... like the champion that he is."

 

Here's a good one (not from the HBO crew):

"It's not your back, it's your eyes."

 

Czyz\Holyfield

TFK

 

Yep, Tommy Parks. Classic quote.

 

BTW, despite his insanity Foreman DID have one of the absolute BEST quotes EVER on boxing:

"Boxing is like Jazz. The better it gets, the less people appreciate it."

BRILLIANT! :clap: :clap:

 

(I'm not sure this is the exact wording for this one...)

During which telecast did Lampley sign off by saying:

"This is Jim Lampley...still looking for a hand to slap"
or
"This is Jim Lampley...still looking for someone to high-five."
