And Adam Smith right at the end of that 3rd round imploring: 'Where's the bell?!?' with a tone of voice laced with fear that a Joshua loss would render him with lifelong erectile dysfunction - *BELL RINGS* - Smith: 'There!' he implores, relieved to feel the blood flowing back to his withered member...
"OH MY GOSH!!" Lampley during Toney Jirov. Always made me laugh every time I watch that moment. Stewart was screaming too. "They say Vladimir Klitschko has a lot of female admirers in Germany that tune in to watch his fights, and judging from his looks, I can see why" - Larry Merchant on a very early Wlad fight "Golota has the best jab since Larry Holmes and is widely considered the best heavyweight in the world" - Lampley during the Bowe Golota 2 pre fight talk. "Vargas proceeded to beat the **** out of him, and a lot of guys will do that when you kiss them" - Lampley during Titsworth vs Vargas "Riddick Bowe has a new tattoo of his mothers name, Dorothy Bowe. She was the person who told him after his last fight, if you're going to get your ass whopped like that, you need to retire" - Lampley during Bowe Golota 2. "The referee is going to be the most important man in the ring apart from the two fighters" - Foreman
"If Jeff Harding can put together a combination of punches" - Alex Walau followed directly by "and there it is" - Dan Dierdof. The ref waves off Andries, bloodied, Harding runs back to his corner, lifted by his corner men, arms a loft then Dierdof again "Jeff Harding, the first australian ever to be light heavyweight champion of the world". As a kid, I watched that Harding- Andries fight over and over. It used to send shivers down my spine.
Very good thread mate!!! In my opinion, Reg was the best commentator ever. Much better than the overrated Harry Carpenter… Reg also wrote a really good book called The Big Punchers. Gave some good insights into some great fighters mindsets…
Great thread. Mike Costello. Fury Wilder 1, after Tyson gets back up: "THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION IS ALIVE AGAIN!"
"TAYLOR STAGGERING, THEY'RE READY TO STOP IT....FROCH!!" Lampley watching Vlad land a peach right hand to win by KO: "BOOM! That's what heavyweights are supposed to do!"
