    "hard right hand from!!..."

    Jim lampley could be talking completely normal, but soon as a fighter landed a right hand shot that was a bit tasty, lampley would immediately burst into life , hollering, simple one but one of the things about lampley I'll miss

    Geez I feel old. All my best memories are from watching Hagler, Holmes, Leonard, Holyfield, Camacho, Starling, Jones, Spinks, Chavez, & of course Tyson. No event was as big as an 80's Tyson fight! Last fight that intrigues me was the Fury vs Klitchko. I really haven't been interested. The fights seem several levels below what HBO offered in the 80's & 90's.

    On a totally superficial level, I miss simple trunks, matching gloves, and no tattoos. Had to get that off my chest.

    HBO was the best. Great memories for me.

    "Boom!!! Right hand... throws (?) Rahman... on the floor... right next to me! Right next to me! Right next to me!"
    "And DOWN GOES JONES on a hard left hand, and that is the most that Roy Jones has even been hurt"
