    ...or perhaps your Steve bunce with the poor taste comments?

    Diamante has had some criticism but he has had big boots to fill preceding Michael Buffer and has played his role gracefully. Boxing will be at a loss without him and I wish him a speedy recovery.

    I like Diamante. I've watched 1 or 2 interviews where he speaks about himself and his love for the sport - thought he came across really well in both.

    Wishing him a speedy recovery from what sounds like a nasty injury.

    Hope he can recover fully and soon. Sounds like a horrible crash.

    Hope he makes a good recovery; the fact he's talking and giving interviews leads me to think it's not quite as bad as it could have been and he will be on his feet soon

    For some reason or another I had always assumed he was an English, surprised to hear he's from Baltimore

    Speed triples are lovely bikes, I have had a few, not for the faint of heart though

    Hope to see him fully recover

    The fact he’s talking doesn’t indicate anything as far as getting back on his feet is concerned unfortunately. Though things could be worse obviously…fingers crossed for him though!

    Was his accent not a bit of a giveaway?

    No problem if he can’t walk again they can just give him the wheelchair Povetkin used for his ring walk in the Whyte rematch.

    Who needs the ability to walk upright when we have wheelchairs?

    The bold part made me laugh harder than it should.

    His announcer "work" voice isn't immediately American to my ear, and I guess I saw him doing gigs at Match room fights on the UK & leapt to a conclusion

    Wheelchair isn’t that practical for a boxing ring, it would be better for him to stay above the lights and then lower/lift him in and out of the ring when needed.
