Memorex 07-17-2005, 01:29 PM buffer's saying has gotten a old but it sounds better than saying "iiiit's showtime"
!! Anorak 07-17-2005, 01:35 PM buffer's saying has gotten a old but it sounds better than saying "iiiit's showtime"True. There was an interview in a local paper with Buffer where he talked about his first try-outs for a catchphrase and how humiliating it was to stand there with the silence of 20,000 people.
!! Anorak 07-17-2005, 03:36 PM Early lead for the Buff...
enadeus 07-17-2005, 03:48 PM damn I accidently voted for the wrong guy, o well.
MrUnstoppable 07-17-2005, 03:51 PM Buffer is the best. His appearance alone makes a fight a big deal.
sisforshaq 07-17-2005, 03:55 PM Buffer is the best but I like Lennon. Im sick of hearing lets get ready to rumble. I just find Lennons comments not as annoying.
Round 1 07-17-2005, 04:02 PM Buffer is the best but I like Lennon. Im sick of hearing lets get ready to rumble. I just find Lennons comments not as annoying.
Agreed 100%
!! Mr. Soprano 07-17-2005, 04:09 PM Buffer, No Contest...

That white ass dude's name is Darius? That is fantastic :D
SacTown1 07-17-2005, 04:40 PM On TV, Buff is better....
at the fights, Lennon's voice clarity shines thru and is easier to comprehend thru the crowd noise....
at Mayorga-Forrest 2, Lennon did a great job with the announcement of the decision, I was sitting in a section that was 90% Nicaraguan and everyone went nuts.....Lennon was also great at Holyfield-Tyson 2, the portion where he introduced the ringside celebs took nearly 20 minutes, it got the crowd really hyped-up, and his intro of each fighter was outstanding....
at Lewis-Klitschko, maybe the speaker system was a factor, but Buff couldn't carry the intro, the crowd got noisy and Buff got quitier, it was hard to keep up with what he was talking about....
then again, maybe the Corona's had something to do with it....
Sir_Jose 07-17-2005, 04:58 PM Buffer hands down.
Its not a big fight if he aint there. Lets Get Ready To Rumble is awsiome especially if you there in the arena.
NiGe2011 07-17-2005, 05:26 PM Buffer smokes Jimmy any day of the week.

!! Anorak 07-18-2005, 01:20 PM That white ass dude's name is Darius? That is fantastic :D:D Darius Danesh. He's a Scots guy, did an excruitating acappela version of Britney Spears and went around saying stuff like "I can feel a lot of love in the room". He's a legend.
I will ease up on you soon, Godz, I'm giving you some grief lately, aren't I? :)

That's a very good point... when it comes to announcing the decisions Lennon sticks in my mind... yet I can't recall a single Buffer post-fight announcement. I did vote for the Buff, though.
