    Diamanté is the best ring announcer the world over outside of Michael Buffer. Thomas Treiber ****ing blows.

    We should write a letter or something for them to find someone better.

    All ring announcers are a bit cringe, but Diamanté has at least an air of coolness about him.

    If there's one conciliation to this cringe fest, I think Diamante just blew out his voice!:applaudit:

    No Jimmy Lennon Jr is the best ring announcer the world over and buries Micheal Buffer who was only good for one line

    If the fight gets competitive, we will see lots of headbutts from Taylor as usual, and the ref will ignore them as usual.

    You're not an outlier. I'm 75% Irish, 25% Italian (so, Gaelic & Garlic, but heavier on the Gaelic) ... and, alas, while I like some U2 songs (gimme Oasis and Alice in Chains all day long), I've never gotten too sentimental for Irish tunes...

    I'm always rooting for that dude because that man almost died in a motorcycle crash, yet he fought back. He'll always have my respect.
