    two undefeated fighters put their 0 loss record on the line. As it is the case with PBF-Hatton this weekend. As it was the case with Tyson against Spinks. That was a fight in which you knew someone was gonna get knocked out for sure.

    As in, the 'O' stands for the 'zero losses' of an undefeated fighter.

    So when two undefeated fighters meet, someone's 'O' must go.

    Unless it's a draw :p

    It sounds a very Don King turn of phrase...

    Buffer is preety clever with the few little words he gets to speak. That sounds like one of his one liners to me

    yes,it SOUNDS like a king or buffer line,but i actually HEARD Mike spinks say it at a pre tyson press conference.the ring or B.I. or something commented on how clever it was and how it should be a tag line.
    dont think buffers that clever myself btw.fukn irritating though;:verysad "delahoyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"etc.twat.:twisted:

    Everytime you have two undefeated fighters Michael Buffer will say that. We'll be hearing and seeing it tomorrow.

    As DamonD pointed out that is not necessarily the case...

    I do think someone from DKP popularized the phrase for Tyson/Spinks. I suspect the phrase actually was nicked from the sporting press.
