"He's not getting up Jim! He's not getting up Jim! He's not getting up!" - KO lines

Commentary stays with us just as vivid as historical moments themselves, and Roy added a great dramatic line over the weekend I just can't get out of my head. Epic scene BTW. Jim jumps up in sheer excitement and shock pointing to PacMan at the opposite end of the ring, screaming "And there's another knockdown! Will he get up? Will he get up" while Jones' shouting "He's not getting up Jim! He's not getting up Jim! He's not getting up!" Then Lampley - look at his hands as he screams - "No, he's been knocked out! A sensational right hand knockout by a bloodied Juan Manuel Marquez" - totally overrun by adrenalin and emotions.

BTW, anyone else caught Jim's line right before the KO? "Marquez was off-balance again. Now gets his feet back as he tries to roar back to nail Pacquiao with a right han..." BWOOOM! right hand detonates on PacMan's chin. Commentators' curse?


So, what are your favorite commentary lines upon a great boxing moment?

 

Here's two from Lampley on Rahman:


"Boom! Will Rahman get up, or have the tables been turned? Is it reversed? ... It's over! Lennox Lewis got revenge!"

"Boom! Right hand puts Rahman on the floor right next to me! Right next to me! Right next to me!"

Love this. Naz blasts Kelly with what turned out to be the final punch of the fight; causing Foreman to go "whooooooo", Merchant then releases an orgasmic "whoa!" whilst Kelly struggles to get up, and Foreman's left shouting "He's for real, the Prince is for real!"

'bang, bang, bang, bang......bang, bang, bang.'

Classic.

 

Lamps has his good and bad moments. But he does bring excitement in telling the tale.

 

"And Maidana is not going to get up from that bodyshot!"

"Okay hes gonna get up"

Khan Maidana smh

 

You missed out roys initial reaction of Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

 

Douglas-Tyson should qualify for shittiest KO commentary, so underwhelming for such a historical moment

omg his hands :rofl

 

Lampley's call when Foreman KO'D Moorer...

"It happened!! It happened!!!!"

 

"and Here COmes GATTI BACK!" Steward, first Ward fight.

 

Yep, I remember that one like it happened yesterday. And what about this one (it began from the 6th-7th round onwards).

"Uppercut lands for Maidana", he said that like 10 times.

Agreed. His matter of fact "And down goes Tyson" was about as exciting as watching paint dry. I think this one was so surprising and shocking that he didn't have time to think of one of his prefab lines

 

Yeah thats exactly what I thought of.
