Jimmy Lennon jr is class but i dunno if anybody else picks up on it but he tends to say the word introducing bout 50 times
Marty Morrissey tells his life story in the introduction's " Limerick are you ready to Rock............... I'm a Munster man, and I know Munster people like there football, ruby and hurling, but what I want to know do you like your boxing " and thats only some of it I forget the rest
I went to the recording of the fight to check, and he clearly said Mitchell was in the claret and blue of West Ham, no mention of the totally red front of his trunks. He got the black color in Kats trunks right, though.
I saw John Macdonald MC'ing at a good championship fight and he was more interested in reading a newspaper during the fight than watching it .:-( He is crap!
was so sick of the west ham plugging that i actually was happy mitchell lost in the end. couldnt face west ham fans clinging on to him as one of their own successes. warren took it too far in my opinion - was more like their end of season do.
He was on the tube home still in his tux. I was tempted to say, "he's was a small time bully on Grange Hill, pretty funny on Operation Good Guys, last time out he went past Angel, Kings Cross...are you ready?!" He did say 'claret and blue' trunks. I think watching back on the telly they said that he shorts were claret too. Other annoyance - "a fighter who needs no introduction". Well STFU then. He's not good - but no-one goes to boxing for the announcer.
I bumped into Jimmy Lennon Jr walking into my hotel lift with a massive pizza in Herning the other week. He asked me for directions to the pizza place and with that he was off for a peperonni and onion. Nice bloke.
Who is that pie faced MC thats touting for work in the small ads of Boxing News? looks a bit like Sloth from the Goonies Handsome chap
