    I really hate when he says "Fighter X weighed 160 pounds BANG ON". WTF does that mean? Are you an American Diamante or not? No red blooded American would say "Bang on". You're sounding like Gwyneth Paltrow with the fake Brit accent.

    The repeating "Are you ready?" drives me nuts.

    Whilst I really want to dislike him because of his haircut based on the interviews I've seen I find him quite likeable. And he's clearly very passionate about boxing

    "The fight starts now" annoys me the most because the fight never starts "now" so he's just lying. If he ended with it I think it would be fine.

    I agree, I mean, it's not as if the crowd are really psyched up in anticipation and just about ready to watch the main and final event of the evening, so of course they're probably fully distracted at that point, aren't they?. Everyone is on their phones texting etc and just chatting amongst their selves and not paying attention, some are even nodding off..

    If Diamante didn't remind them and scream 'are you ready' they'd all miss the start of the fight, right?.

    I have been hating diamante so much while he was there, that I was incredibly surprissed that I missed him when he was not there because of the accident.

    When I missed him I realized that maybe he's not as bad as I thought. There must be something that he does right..... right. Whatever it is...... is.
