    Here's a pretty good article on Buffer, his views on English fans, where he got his catchphrase, how doing the early Tyson fights made his career. Also did not know he had volunteered for service in Vietnam. Pretty interesting.

    Not surprising.
    With the gate numbers, they can certainly afford the best announcer (American) the sport has to offer.
    They should have gone all out and paid for a good American referee like Cortiz also.

    It's gonna be a pretty shitty day when The Buff's gone.

    It's also a little known fact that fights nowadays are scheduled in the city where Buffer just happens to be getting laid that weekend.

    Even when he's gone his IP "Let's Get Ready To Rumble" will still be around.
    Perhaps when he is gone the announcement will be licensed to an announcer franchise. :yep

    I think buffer is shot to ****

    He has been making a few mistakes with his names which are quite embarrasing

    Tonight again with the Povetkin fight. He announced a sixth round stoppage, while it was in the seventh :think

    Maybe he is shot and it's time to retire after all.
