    so how long has he been doing MMA stuff on CBS? i was disappointed to find that out, esp because he is "classy" and plus his dad was a legendary boxing announcer as well

    What does being "classy" or his father being a legendary Boxing announcer have to do with him announcing MMA on CBS?

    I don't know.
    Something about death metal blarring, tribal tats, Affliction-wear, knuckle-headed audiences that subtract from the level of class the OP was refering to.
    I see it.... you don't ?

    He's part of Elite XC's contract with Showtime.

    But a ring announcer is in the business to get paid. They'll call a barmitzvah if the money is right (and I've heard that Michael Buffer has done more than a few of those).

    Give me Michael Buffer anyday. Lennon's whiny voice annoys me.

    Jimmy Lennon has a right to live and make his money. Who the hell really cares what he announces? You know? I don't watch fights to hear or watch the announcer. They are just there to be honest IMO.

    I guess you don't like alot of boxers anymore either. They are starting to wear affliction T-shirts too. When I was a kid boxers came out in robes, now alot of them walk out with affliction shirts on instead. I know B-Hop has been wearing them for a few years now.
