    if Lampley was commentating that fight, it would've been more epic.

    He can be overenthusiastic sometimes, but he's good for action fights.

    :roll: Pffft.. Over-enthusiasm is Jim Lampley's game. The guy will **** his pants over a ****ing swing and a miss.

    This guy on the other hand was perfectly justified in his excitement over a 12th round KO in a championship caliber fight. That's how you bring the viewing audience into a fight and amp up their level of excitement. I'm liking this new guy.

    Gus Johnson hes done the NCAA basketball tourney and is an awesome commentator. Heres his best call at the end of a game.

    I always said Gus Johnson was the black Jim Lampley. I was hoping whenever Lampley retired they would have Johnson take his place but Steve Albert retired quicker.
