MCs in boxing shock me. As always, fight nights should be events. An MC is an integral part of an event. Hype Michael Buffer gets it, Classy Jimmy Lennon Jr gets it but I'm yet to see a decent British MC.
No.. way.. the worst has to be that dominic frisby that Hayemaker used to have. He looked like a kiddy fiddler.
How about Thomas Treiber that Hennessey used, he had the fakest sounding American accent I'd ever heard on an American
He is always shaking with the mic in his hand a nervous wreck everytime he does it. Man conning a career.
Burdgis is brillaint, me and my Dad just sit saying Bev and Kev to each other whilst he is speaking, and it is funny everytime.
Was it just me, or for the main event on Sat, did he get the colour of their trunks completely wrong? The crowd was pretty loud, but I'm pretty sure he said Mitchell was in the claret and blue of West Ham, when he was clearly in red, and he said Kats was in white, when he was in black, the complete opposite of white. :huh
Is he really an actor? No wonder he isn't getting any work in that field because he keeps forgetting his lines :-( Still better than that joker with the £3 clipboard from Staples that Hayemaker used to have..... most Saturday night pub DJ's have more stage presence than British MC's. Buffer & Lennon jr are the way to go.
he is **** anyway, but what really pisses me off is the unnecessary extra he puts in the fighter intros...just tell us the ****ing record, where there from, the weight and any titles they have won Not Amir Khan, - "The Young Face of multi-cultural britain" Kevin Mitchell - "He earned his shot with a stunning win over Breidis Prescott....in December" Frankie Gavin - "Proud record of having won a medal in every tournament" Every boxer - "A man who needs no introductions in a british ring" :twisted:
He also introduced the fighters on Sat as "contestants". Not sure whether that was a mistake or not but it seemed like he was giving an intro to Celebrity Gladiators or something.
i was so gutted on saturday..i was hoping Jimmy Lennon Jnr would make an apperance but all we got was a stuttering clown.
It's between him and that Canadian dude 'Barney the dinosaur' on Hennessy's bills. Terrible, terrible MC's. I hate Gary Logan too, he's got a lisp or something. The best is probably that flash looking guy with the gelled hair.
