    Prime Buffer was around the mid-1990s. He had some great ones.

    That was great. I just wish the commentator would have stopped talking over him.

    Jimmy Lennon said Pac is from General Santos and Buffer said Pac is from Saragani (sp?) Province. Which is correct?

    Recent vintage:

    - Lennon introducing Pacquiao (vs Thurman)
    - Lennon introducing Mayweather (vs Pacquiao)
    - Buffer introducing Klitschko (vs Joshua)
    - Buffer introducing Cotto for his final fight
    - Buffer introducing Kovalev as the undisputed champion (questionable) when he was at the peak of his powers against Pascal
    - Also, for nostalgic purposes, loved the Buffer intros for Jones and Tyson; hearing "from Catskill" and "former undisputed, undefeated" for Mike was great and of course hearing him list off all of the divisions Roy won titles at is always a treat.

    I always liked Chuck Hull, business like. Buffer is too much about him.

    Jimmy Lennon Jr:-

    “Needing no introduction the world over, the one and only IRON MIKE TYSON”

    Goosebump time.
