Please bring back Michael Pass.I know some might not agree but the current guy is terrible.I know this has been discussed before but its getting beyond a joke.Maybe this guy should only announce undercard fights or something but not the main event.He really does ruin the anti-climax.

Its a bit like re-arranging deck furniture on the Titanic. ITV are done with boxing.

I can't stand him (as an MC) either.

allegedly starred in Operation Good guys in a cameo role and the MC was one of the main characters. Maybe Warren is letting him fulfil a life long ambition! He's certainly come a long was since "stu-pot" in Grange Hill

Never understood why they got rid of Michael Pass who was a good, solid professional and replaced him with this inept, error strewn new guy. Bring in Gary Logan

He is a bit odd- he shouts into the microphone, possibly he doesn't realise that the whole point of a microphone is that it makes your voice louder, so you don't have to shout.

With a bit more practise Mark Birdis could well become the new Mike Goodall

"Couldn't lower the price, could you Kev". "Wish I could Kev".

I say, bring "Bev" into the ring and get them both to announce. Having his wife there will calm his nerves.

Theres a few thing he needs to improve on. He could of said all 3 judges then names have scored the 120-108 at the last khan fight. When he read out the scores he says one one seven in stead of one hundred and seventeen points. I should send him MCs past and present to show him the history. I guess it comes down to confidence. He will slowly improve.

there is not going to be any announcer at all pretty soon, so dont worry

Ash-Weston · Post by **Ash-Weston** » 05 Feb 2008, 08:52

Well i hope he doesnt get the chance to improve live on telly!.He should announce in low-key fights and build his confidence there.He is probably a really nice bloke but as a ring announcer give it up mate for the sake of us all!
