    He looks ridiculous with all of that botox. Buffer, a former model, ceased being handsome many a year ago when he turned into a Wildenstein-esque sideshow.

    It's Trump that speaks gibberish. Something about Hannibal Lecter. And as long as Buffer can do the Rumble punch line he's gold.

    He's been falling off for some time now. This fight week however is exceptionally bad. He called Fury The Ring Magazine champion twice, he messed Usyk weight up. I think he should retire.

    It's the hairline that's giving him these jobs. Give him the hair of a typical 80 year old and he'd be long gone.

    Sadly, I had the hairline of a typical 80 year old when I was 23 years old.

    Hopefully he doesn't mess it up while reading the scorecards tonight. It would mean a very low-key end to a very long and successful career.

    It'd be worse if me misread by only 2 lbs as 233 sounds a lot like 223. :lol: It's funny how you associated the amount of pounds he's out by with the degree of shot he is:lol:

    If he'd say 323lbs then I'd be definitely worried

    If he messes up the scoring in the event the fight goes to the cards, and the result is reversed because of some type of error (be it Buffer, math, or a mistake in transcribing), then the conspiracy theories floating around here will be quite the spectacle.

    yes. but like with judges, if you somehow get a job that cushy you keep doing it until you die

    Don't forget, he gets to watch the greatest fights while sitting next to the ring card girls. Yeah, not retiring.
