    Brian Kenny being compared to Skippy B? I can't see that at all. This guy drove the show on FNF, he was a very solid front man for the show, for loyal watchers of FNF I think its obvious how good he was on it, and how much he knows about the sport.

    u guys should realize skip, and stephen role play. . . their positions on topics are scripted. . . they're basically just a notch above fictional characters in sitcoms.


    kenny has alway been fairly knowledgeable imo. . . floyd just has those feminine tendencies to snap on people - too sensitive. . . . LOL kenny owned him when he said: "but floyd, isn't Golden Boy your promotor?" HAHAHAH Floyd, as usual when cornered, or exposed/pwned responds with a hateful, completely unrelated response so off topic. . .

    Brian Kenny left to work with the MLB Network.

    I miss him on Friday Night Fights, and wished he still worked with boxing in some way.

    I liked Brian Kenny, he was on all the episodes of "ringside"
    as well. Always thought he knew his **** and was solid.

    Kenney was very good, ESPN not keeping him was disappointment to me. He is for real, and unlike phonies who say they speak truth but really just go along with what they are told, he would speak out.

    Nah, they haven't had any new shows in about 6 years. But, they still do show the reruns Sunday night at around midnight, though.

    Was it on "Ringside" Mike Tyson that he said he saw the Berbick fight at the house in Catskill or was it on something else???

    Have to watch it again. Maybe it was on that or something else...but it was on ESPN.
    But anyway, that's the first time I heard it come out of his mouth and it stopped me like, What???
