HBO Commentary trivia!!

Damn! That's so familiar....hmmmmmmmmm

 

"The ring has been stormed by thugs & hooligans"

Everybody knows this one, but had to mention it anyway. One of the most infamous lines in HBO boxing history.::

 

Lampley "Too much speed! Maybe too much power too!"

 

Mayweather-Gatti

 

Bowe/Golota 1. I love Lampley and George during that riot. ::

 

"Lou Duva's down...Lou Duva's in trouble!"

 

I don't know the answer but Tua-Byrd would seem like a good choice for that analogy.

 

Jones-Brannon

 

I know it;s not necessarily your guess, but Byrd-Tua was Showtime

 

Merchant (loose quote):

"This fight looks like a big offensive line trying to move a big defensive line."

Big hint to Mitchell Kane: you should be the 1st one to guess this one (and perhaps correct me if it's not exact :: )

 

.. . Harold is great::

I am one of the few that really enjoy these guys I think. Lamply, merchant, foreman, Roy, Harold, they all are great. they making watching the fight not only exciting... but they make me laugh

I think lb for lb though Big George is probably the un-intenally funny one of them all.. he is the best

 

"STOP THE FIGHT!!!! STOP THE FIGHT!!!!!...

Jim- it's ok George, settle down

BG- I will NOT settle down!! THIS MAN IS GONNA END UP IN A PINE BOX!!!!!

 

[In which fight did Foreman said this?

"If my wife did the method of visualization, I'd get up and run out the room."

quote=Fighter]A couple of hints: He was talking about how a fighter's wife visualized with her husband on what was going to transpire during his next fight.[/quote]

It was during the ringwalk of Famous Hernandez with his fight against Mayweather. The one with the only recorded knockdown of the Pretty Boy.

 

holyfield/bowe 3.

 

so, who said this? :dunno:

 

Jim Lampley don't you see his name next to the quote ::

 

Naz vs Barrera :dunno:

 

"He has a history of fighting great closing rounds when he needs them. Never in his long career has he needed badly a great closing round than right now... DOWN GOES _______!!!!!!!"
Jim Lampley

"________ is a brave man."
Foreman

 

First one - GLH-Quartey

Second one is in my head, but can't place the fight.

 

bump

 

"That Black guy he hits hard!!!"

- Ray Torres

 

Mayo-Forrest deux

 

Incorrect

 

::

 

Jake got the first one.

"Oscar de la Hoya is a brave man." from DLH-Quartey, same round.

 

:bears:


that was great.. remember Foreman got suspended from HBO after this for a while..

he actuallly stood up at the side of the ring and yelled "STOP THE FIGHT" ::

 

Forrest-Mayorga 2

 

Ah... You beat me but seems we're both wrong...

 

I'll end the agony. Mayorga-Forrest I
