    Jim should have stayed retired. He was awful the other nite. He reminded me of Meldrick Taylor at the end of his career.

    :lol: Another gem I somehow missed. Awesome stuff Greg.

    My only criticism of Lamps is that he could’ve been a bit more creative and also thrown in some Ka-pows, Codswallops and **** Stoppers! Holy innuendos, Batman!

    Haha, wtf?!?

    Ka-pow - yeah, ok, standard stuff

    Codswallop - hmmm

    **** stop - coincidentally the nickname for one of the group of mates I used to regularly go drinking with back in my 20's, he was the polar opposite of a good wingman.

    Clinic - they're not even trying to make them in any way relatable anymore.

    Kenya - I'd love it if Lamps shouted out the name of African nations to emphasise thr violent impact of punches in his next commentary. Obscure, much?

    "Sanders is floating like a drunken sailor"

    That quote sticks in my mind from Jim Lampley.

    :lol::lol: I love your idea of Lamps working through the African nations.

    Varying the terms slightly - Lamps: “Zaire it was folks, he’s just been Congo’d and Morocco’d. Kenya believe it?” :D
