Best ring announcer: Buffer or Lennon Jnr?
Best ring announcer: Buffer or Lennon Jnr?
Who in your opinion is the best ring announcer in the world? Clearly it has to be a choice between Michael Buffer and Jimmy Lennon Jnr. I love both but for me it has to be Buffer. The smooth voice and "let's get ready to rumble" at the MGM Grand in Vegas on fight night has to be one of the best moments in sport...

Lennon for me.
I associate Buffer with the screamy screechy HBO style of Jim Lampley.

Buffer is a legend and for me is a must for the really big fights. Hearing his trademark speech in the flseh gave me goose pimples.

I love Buffer, number one by a long way for me.
Re: Best ring announcer: Buffer or Lennon Jnr?
The "classy" Jimmy Lennon Jnr for me. I love his use of the bell.
Lupe Contreas is a good one also, he'd be my third.

Buffer doesn't seem to put as much into his 'lets get ready to ruuuuuumbleeeee' as he used too.

Lennon Jr, he doesn't think he's as important as the boxers, or more important, unlike Buffer.
Re: Best ring announcer: Buffer or Lennon Jnr?

Burdis beats Logan, but only just.
Quite like the Prizefighter announcer and they way he speeds up his speach when describing the colour of the boxers shorts and which corner they are in. Also never wears a dickie bow, just to emphasize that prizefighter is a casual sort of night.
Between the big boys I would have to go for Buffer. His voice is a class act "Two twenty and a one half pound"

Re: Best ring announcer: Buffer or Lennon Jnr?
Prefer Lennon myself. I don't like over-dramatization which Buffer can be guilty of. Still gotta love the guy, suave and tanned ![[icon_notworthy.gif] :bow:](./images/smilies/icon_notworthy.gif)
