Blast from the past.

I’m sure Buffer will be wheeled out for the main events but here’s another vote for Craig Stephen.

I used to like Pass. Haven’t heard or seen him in must he 10 years. He had pretty much a full head of grey hair then too.

I've never understood why Diamonte needs to be used for the UK small shows. Hes good but there must be a cheaper alternative and that could be the reflected in the ticket prices for the fans.

I'm sure ask any fan in attendance if theyd rather stupot and pay £10 less for the ticket, I think I know the answer x

Ah hold on Stu, they're hardly paying him £10x [number in attendance] per fight, it's not like he's Michael Buffer.

You really think Diamanté gets paid that much?!

He’s probably on a salary with Matchroom and gets decent 5 figures.

Buffer is awful,gets paid a fortune to miss pronounce everything. I'm told he gets paid More than some world champions he's announcing. Surely that can't be right?

Anyone who watched the Madrimov v Soro card would surely agree that the Uzbek announcer from that show should get the nod, purely for comedy value :lol:

Craig Stephen’s. Is the best in the uk, he never fitted the American dazn image hence when they went with diamanté , but if your wanting a proper clear and good mc craig Stephen’s is your man

Michael Pass confines himself to Steve Woods VIP shows these day & has come full circle having started out with him. Sadly he's fallen out of love with the sport of boxing, but would love reading people's comments here, both praise & criticism!

So was this guy injured or were the rumours true? That he was in rehab?

He has made a beyond miraculous recovery if the initial diagnosis was even nearly true.

I might be doing him a disservice but when I listened to him on boxing life stories he came across as a bit of a charlatan so it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he was exaggerating or even flat out inventing his accident story.

yep. I fractured my T11 vertebra a few years ago and spent three months shuffling around wearing a back brace and eating painkillers, after only which could i begin proper physio. sounds like Diamante had a miracle, considering what his injuries were listed as at the time.

Absolutely agreed 1,000%

I know someone in hospital for 9 months solid having those sort of injuries repaired - and it took another year of rehabilitation for them to walk with a stick for the rest of their life.

The loss of bone in the leg left one leg shorter than the other and all manner of other permanent injuries / scars.

Diamante was up back MC'ing in like 9 weeks.
