Worst ring entrances ever

[housesecond]

Anyone remember Richie Evatt's tiger costume? I thought he looked more like the hoffmiester bear.

I dunno about anyone else -- actually I do know, for some reason people seem to love them, but eff them -- but German-based fighters ring entrances make me physically sick.

The crass lightshows, the dodgy voice-overs, the naff lasers, the several million gallons of dry ice, the fvckwitted cock-rock hair metal bands that play the fighters out... No, no & thrice NO! Leave it out!

I am fully aware of the continual challenge of UFC & WWF & the need to pesent the sport as modern in people's minds. It's just I think they're stupid, embarrassing & a crime against taste & decorum & that anyone who enjoys them should be punished by having to watch a Wlad Klitschko "Greatest Clinches" DVD, including the special Easter Eggs section where you get to see him lean down on top of his opponents like a hungry rent-boy trying to sniff the last popper lodged up his mark's rectum.

I've given this matter (more) thought (than it actually deserves) & have come to the conclusion that this kind of build-up is only actually necessary because the vast majority of the fighters who sell well in the enormous German market are about as exciting to watch as a party political broadcast being transmitted via the medium of sign-language.The promoters are basically saying "WAKE UP! Felix Sturm might've put you to sleep, but here are the reanimated corpses of der Scorpions! After which Wladdy will safely send you back to sleep once again."

Aye there are some cringeworthy entrances, personally I'd make my way to the ring using this as my entrance music - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHWicNDkbpw - for some reason it just gets my adrenaline going and makes me aggressive :)

...and this post is genius!

Naz"s were some of the worse entrances ever IMO,particularly the Barrera fight.
Completely without taste or class.
Took the whole "Prince" idea way too far.

When Matt Skelton boxed in Italy the other year for the European, Fragomini came out to YMCA, flanked by blokes dressed up as them and he was wearing a Bart Simpson T-Shirt ! That was an odd one

dberry: Thrill Kill Kult!

Fvckin' A, that takes me back. Not as good as KMFDM, though.

First person to reply with "KMFDM sucks" wins... Ooh, I dunno, a time machine & a penchant for dodgy '90s Industrial Metal.

James Degale's last one


Usman Ahmed the Best but Worst ever

The one against Chris Ewards was Much better tho...

Absolute gold! that's as funny as fvck.

I remember him at a show, looking at his opponent in the changing rooms, then putting up a glass and started Eating it got KO'd in the 1st round

Think he got into alot of trouble for kid Nap in the end?

[MightyWarrior]

Bruno crossing himself 32 times on the way to meet Tyson wasn't one of his best.

Kostya Tszyu used to have some 80's style Russian warbler singing his very own heroic theme song to the ring.

Joe Calzaghe dancing to the ring a couple of times was pretty bad too.

[hitman_hatton1]

hamed-kelley - what on earth was the hold up.

hamed-barrera - just embarassing and he looked like a twat on that thing that brought him down to the ring.

holyfield-lewis 1 - coming in singing like he was in church.

[iwz678]

I didnt mind DeGale's last entrance but I'm young and quite like Donaeo so I might be biased.

The German entrances are just awful, absolute crap. Hate these silly European heavy rock bands and they are just a load of balls in my opinion.

Favourite has to be Anthony Small v Hall, the 'My Way' one that was just classic.

Nice one, love the industrial trance metal of the nineties, a misspent time.

[forcefraser]

Has to be DeGale`s last entrance. That Chunky rap was abysmal.

naveed merzer coming to the ring at york hall with a pair of tracksuit bottoms over his shoulders lol mad man ???

[alexpaterson]

Clottey's wasnt the best but nothing beats Ahmed that was so cringeworthy

Clottey's was typical Ghanaian, they always do that.

Ahmed's one v Edwards was better because as someone said you could see that on Youtube but you could see the doofus dance v Sexton.

[Old bones Ian]

Going over a few fighters from the 90's.
I remembered Anthony Hembrick, now his ring entrance wasn't the worst. And he had a neet dance routine when introduced, but then getting stopped in the first round wasn't part of the plan.

[orbtastic]

Carl Thompson v Eubank...

bless him he tried to dance about but looked completely out of it...

That was my first thought on reading the thread. Dancing to Snap's the power like he'd been electrocuted.

Eubank and Hamed just made it ridiculous, they are largely to blame for the whole laser and smoke thing. Eubank coming in on a harley and hamed and his flying carpet. Hamed is what made Cooper quit "boxing" for good, which is probably a good thing in hindsight.

Yori Boy Campas used to come in with a huge aztec head dress on and a medicine man.

who can forget Eubank being freaked out against Ray Close (?) with the dwarves dressed up as leprecauns throwing shamrock glitter at him.

Arthur Abraham in his smurf outfit.

Was it roy jones who rapped himself into the ring wearing a suit? That was pretty poor. I know Small did it recently, but Jones did it years ago.

McCall coming out to Diana Ross' "I'm coming out" and crying.
