    Just watching some youtube videos about boxing warriors and one of the clips was Gatti-Ward I. Last 20 seconds both guys swinging for the fences, You sit there in awe of two men who put themselves through the grinder. Then when you think the moment couldn't get any better you hear just a few faint words that encapsulate the moment with sheer class

    ''This is the way it has to end'' Larry Merchant.

    That lines just gets me everytime. That's why we have commentators. As much as we moan sometimes they do come good.

    I'm looking for your favorite or greatest Quotes from Commentators while in fights.

    Can be funny/dramatic/knowledgeable/witty whatever you like.

    :good

    For my fellow Cotto fans, during Cotto-Gomez, Lampley said "Miguel Cotto doesn't just beat you, he beats you up" :yep

    "This is the way it has to end" is perfect, just the kind of stuff you'd expect from Merchant.

    'Hi, I'm Don Dunphy from ringside bringing you your fight of the week'

    Not so much a commentater quote but an advert on 50s boxing.

    'What'll you have?'

    :lol: That was better than the Mosley one, far more emphatic!

    After a left hook as well, guess thats the shot that really gets Merchant going! :hey

    Also the same fight. Mike Costello was brilliant at the end.

    Can't beat when Harry Carpenter forgot his day job for a sec and roared Big Frank on against Tyson.

    But I do hate any time Lampley uses the word "hellacious" to describe intense action or when Darke says "rocks (or shock) the world".
