The Russian MC who often works Ryabinsky's shows is actually my current #1. He even sang a song during one card and was pretty damn good at that too :lol:

My complaint is it seems like every alphabet janitor is announced. I don't care who is there representing the WB*. Just give me names, weights, records of the fighters and maybe judges and ref. I don't care who the substitute timekeeper is or every focking doctor in the audience.

My only problem with Buffer is, he thinks he's the show... He too long winded and gives too much information... His L's and R's are too drawn out.. Even Walter Cronkite made occasional mistakes, but he gave you the scoop as quickly and accurately as he could and shut his face. He's got a nice voice for a fight announcer, but you should never fall in love with your own voice or put so much juice on it that people are thinking "OK Buffer, let's get to the fight dude. We didn't come here to listen to you." It's like a women who has a curvacious rear end and wearing her favorite Lululemons. Not only does she do poses for you as she stands there chatting with somebody -- she keep touching, stroking, and patting her rear end like it's a puppy.

Buffer's voice certainly doesn't seem to be as powerful as it used to be, and there seem to be a few more errors creeping in. But at his best he was great, and I hope I look that good when I'm 73!

Buffer will keep milking this job until he's 85 years old or more if he possibly can... He enjoys being a celebrity too much and people flattering him.. They'll have to fire him to get rid of him... It's like Bob Arum and Don King... Ask them when the Hell they're going to retire and they'll say "And do what??? This is my life." ... Right.. They get to travel a lot, talk to the media, stay at great hotels, eat in fine restaurants, bill all their expenses to their company account -- and still record virtually everything they do everyday as a business expense tax write-off.. So they'll keep going until they fall over dead.

Chick Hern used to announce basketball games for the Lakers... I knew Chick would never quit until he dropped dead... He got tons of perks. Everything he did was paid for by the Lakers, but he was still able to write it off as business expenses. If people wonder why a Billionaire like Trump hasn't paid federal taxes for decades and will never release his tax returns because of the "forever audit"-- it's because super rich people fill campaign coffers and write the tax laws to benefit themselves and screw the working class. If you know rich people who pay taxes it's because they have a heart and soul -- not because they have to. I also know middle class people who rip off the system by going on "disability" when they're perfectly healthy and a dozen other options. If you blow the whistle on them it generally goes nowhere -- and you're the one who will take it in the teeth. All they have to do is tap into all the professionals who will lie for them and have no fear of God or man. Thank God most people are still honest and generous, but the balance keeps shifting in the wrong direction.

Eh, I hope he's ok. He's made another error in the space of a week. He didn't introduce Canelo in the weigh in, repeating GGG name. Unusual from him, somethings off.

Is that Kalan up there dumping on people fortunate enough to put their nose to the grindstone and actually earn a healthy salary?

You sound like just another guy who's envious of success. Better to demonize those who have a few bucks in their pocket than to try to emulate them.

You would make Bernie Sanders proud.

A few bucks??? ... You're small potatoes man. I'm a big fan of Warren Buffett, who was the richest man in the world for many years... I'm also a big fan of Bill Gates who IS the richest man in the world... I'm a big fan of billionaire George Soros and many other super rich people...

I'm NOT a fan of billionaires who try to rig the tax code so they won't have to pay any taxes... It gets worse every year as US taxpayer debt grows larger... The yearly deficit always grows under Republicans and shrinks under Democrats... And now the whole agenda seems to be "tax reform" now that they have no balls to fix Obama Care.. This does not bode well for the average hard working taxpayer. When interest rate go up we will fall.

I also think this idiot will put us into wars like Dubya did.
