    Is it just me, or was the ring announcer on Saturday absolutely ****ing shite?

    He seemed to be like a six year old practising the school play, whilst trying to impersonate Michael Buffer :verysad

    Throw in the fact that he doesn't know people's records, what division they fight in - Setanta have really found one here :nut

    :hi:

    Terrible.

    I assume Hayemaker sort the announcer out though.

    Did he not even have a practice? He kept stuttering over what came next, seemed to forget Barrett's nickname...

    Buffer is so smooth, maybe we expect too much?

    Ryan RuuuuuuuuuuuooooooooooddddddZZZZZZzzz

    Two time British lightweight champion and former two time middleweight world title challenger :lol:

    Didn't know Razza was our version of Oscar De La Hoya :rofl

    The commentator pissed me off, saying that if you counted Rhodes's loss to Gary Lockett as a world title challenge!

    I think he is just as bad!

    Antoniooooooooooooooo Margarrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttoooooooooooooow

    Buffer and Lennon jr take the biscuit - the rest are **** poor.

    Our best is prob the guy who does Prizefighter or Michael Pass - the guy Hennessy had on ITV was bad as well.

    Gary Logan

    He is pretty average - neither the best nor the worst

    Is it me or is such a doable job done so badly by so many.

    Buffer and Lennon. Is that all we have in this day and age!!!

    The MC is very important and British shows need to stop being presented by ****.

    I was worried when Rhodes was anounced as a lightweight.

    I dunno I think he's pretty decent, maybe cos he's been doing it a while you get used to theyre way and it feels more recognisable if that makes any sense
