In a Post Michael Buffer and Jimmy Lennon Jr World...

Definitely Joe Martínez.

I like the way Dave Diamante calls it old school, but his hair is distracting. Lupe Contreras is alright as well.

Yup, the guy has done his homework.

I'm usually a proponent of function over form, but when speaking of an mc, doesn't flash = substance ?

Besides, "quien es el mas macho " is best phrase since "ready to rumble ".

No. If you read my post, the job description is outlined.

Get the crowd excited about the fighters without making yourself the center of attention.

QEEMM is corny. Martinez's more understated "Are...you...ready?!" works plenty well as a catchphrase without bordering on silly.

I would think that it matters more how fired up the crowd is than what they are fired up about.

Btw tell Diamante to get a haircut.

And stay off my lawn!

Ring announcing must be the easiest job in the world. You just talk in a a slow snobby voice.

Fuck Bruce. He can stick with inferior combat sports.

Maybe that World of Warcraft looking dude. David Diamante.

Hopefully that's not all we're left with though. Mofo looks like Thorin Oakenshield on steroids.

Corny catchphrases aside, I think Contreras is the better announcer. Joe Martinez is boring and fails to get me hyped up. When him and Dreadlocks McGee are announcing, I'm devising a way to fastforward through it.. When Lupe is on the mic, I'm like YYYEEEEAAHHH ¡¿QUIEN ES EL MAS MACHO?! YYYEEEEAAAHHH

[moparfan]

Joe Martinez or for smaller PPV shows Amy Hayes (if she still does announcing)...!!!

[elchivito]

Contreras and Diamante. The future of ring anouncing. Contreras should wear a mohawk to contrast his classy look and one up Diamante.

Lupe Contreras and David Diamante
