I don't always love Lampley but mine has to be his call in the De La Hoya/Vargas fight. So much electricity in the building to go along with the genuine bad blood between the fighters and then Jim rattles off. "If you saw Oscar de La Hoya as a teenager, the first thing you would have said is "my god what a left hook." 15 years later... It's still true." "DOWN GOES VARGAS! On another rocket left hook from De La Hoya! A sensational left hook by De La Hoya, again he set it up with body punches! Vargas jumps up off the canvas! Let me at him! There's so much desire in Fernando Vargas, but a better fighter is beating him now! This would be the most satisfying moment of Oscar De la hoya's career. If he can finish this fight! If he can make Fernando Vargas eat his words, if he could KNOCK HIM OUT... and he does! Oscar de La Hoya has the most satisfying, the richest, the biggest, the most emotional win of his whole career" It was like Lampley went into a commentary zone. Even Merchant knew not to interrupt him. He summed up the moment so perfectly while enhancing its richness, pure gold.
my favorite one: Lennox Lewis 1-2's Haseem Rahman "Boom! Will Rahman get up from this, or have the tables been turned?" one of the best left hook- right hook combos in history
Best hook I ever saw concerning Oscar was the one Bernard Hopkins threw to his liver that knocked his ass OUT!! lol
Bravo, what a moment. And then they pan the camera to Rahman on the floor with an expression on his face like he just walked in on his parents making yucky.
1. "It Happened!" - On Geroge Foreman regaining the title he lost nearly 20 years earlier. 2. "Boom! Will Rahman get up from this, or have the tables been turned?" On Lennox Lewis getting revenge. 3. "Big Time!" In Response to Larry Merchant Saying "The Plan to attack Lewis early has backfired"
