Here's a more recent one that I was rewatching earlier. The zoom-in and uneasiness on Andy's face makes it all the more perfect. This content is protected
Interviewer: What are you gonna do now that you have won the title Iran? Iran Barkley: Rob ya house! Or something like that.
Perfectionist !!! ROFL Buffer is the guy that introduced the Heavyweight Explosion card from Ft Worth Tx to the TV audience as A Night of World Class Professional WRESTLING!!!! lol Then later introduced future 2 time world bantam champ & my Texas buddy as Paulie Ayala the NABF HEAVYWEIGHT champ lol Nah the perfectionist is Jimmy Lennon jr
One of my favorite exchanges came when Tyrone Trice won a USA Network fight (pretty sure it was in Michigan at the Palace at Auburn Hills) and called out James Toney in his postfight interview. James was there, climbed into the ring, grabbed the mic and said, ‘Bring yo ass, Tyrone.’ Then dropped the mic and left. Also, when Larry Holmes fought Ossie Ocasio, I’m pretty certain my memory is right that you can hear Richie Giachetti yelling ‘get off the ropes, get off the ropes’ to Larry (who is on the ropes) and finally Larry turns to him and says, ‘I’m not on the ****ing ropes.’
Two things I found funny- Tim Tomashek after fighting Tommy Morrison, and the talk shows that followed. I wonder how Tim is doing these days? Tex Cobb’s entire repertoire.
Another Morales moment and Paulie's reaction is great too, lol. If timestamp doesn't work go to 42:00 This content is protected
I had this co worker once named Lee, who worked with me at the local hospital back in 1981. Anyhow he took out this rather attractive girl with blonde hair to the Demolition Derby. The whole time he was thinking of the Sugar Ray Leonard vs Roberto Duran rematch the year before. Well that evening he had dream that he met Duran, told Roberto how he got a date with that girl, Rhonda was her name, and that it was thanks to him saying No Mas. Duran looked coldly at him and said in Spanish, What The Blank Does That Have To Do With Me,? You Should Be Concentrating On Your Date, Not Me. Lee told everyone about his dream with Duran in it, just then another co-worker stood up and said, No Mas, No Mas. Lee replied, Montreal Montreal, another co worker said of Montreal, The Site Of The 1976 Olympic Games, You Do Know Who Won A Gold Medal There?, His initials Are SRL. We all cracked up. I told Lee, You Better Follow Duran's Advise Tonight.
Interviewer: What's your plan for this fight, Iran? Iran: Imma go in the ring, Imma knock him out. (Might have been Frank "the animal" Fletcher".)
Pretty sure it was Iran he was great value. “You don’t know who you ****in with I will stomp a hole in your chest” It was pretty funny that he said it to James Toney of all people.
Thanks for calling me out on this. Buffer confusing heavyweight boxing for wrestling makes me think he must be "overworked." I rewatched RJJ vs Brannon a few weeks ago and according to Buffer, Roy weighed in at 147.5 lbs to defend his Super Middleweight championship.
