    IMO it's a pretty good article, can't say there's anything I'd really disagree with.

    This bit especially.....

    "In a minor gripe, ring announcer Mark Burdiss is simply terrible and it was made even more obvious when directly compared to the fantastic Jimmy Lennon Jr. He unfortunately seems to be unable to look at the audience and speak, preferring to keep his head down and read directly off his cards. He also looks nervous and his hands shake visibly. Sorry, it may sound harsh, but he has to go.''

    It was cool they got Jimmy Lennon Jr. Was the Mag 7 shown in Showtime or something?

    The most memorable announcer from recent memory was that French guy who did one of David Haye's fights.

    Just because we all said he sounded like the Fonz for announcing him as "David Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"

    I can remember watching a German card on Eurosport and the MC announced Micky Vann as 'Micky Wann."

    What does Jimmy Lennon Jr get paid do you think?

    And why didnt he announce all the fights?

    Was the same at Haye vs Ruiz. Jimmy did the Groves and Haye fights but Gary Logan did the rest.
