    wasn't he supposed to announce the scores between the 4/5 rounds? :huhNext thing I know Peter/maskaev are going to work and the guy is announcing the scores in the first minute or so of the 5th. Maybe it took a long time b/c the judges were asking what each other had so far.

    Not as bad as the guy who did the Haye vs Enzo fight. He was shocking.

    Jimmy Lennon Jnr. is awesome. Probably the first or second best (him and Buffer).

    Buffer works exclusively with HBO. This was a Showtime gig.

    I never knew that a ring announcer could ruin a boxing event so thoroughly until last night. His announcement of the Diaz-Campbell scores was the lowpoint for me, no one else in the world could've ****ed that up so badly. He was annointing a new world champion and he sounded like he was calling a game of bingo in the centre for acute mental illness.

    Lupe Contreras is the best Mexican boxing announcer, I don't know why they used that other guy.

    King was probably trying to cut costs and thought 'how bad could he be?' I guess he got his answer.
