Michael Buffer vs Jimmy Lennon Jr

I know most of the glory goes to Buffer since he works for HBO and HBO does all the big fights, Ive always felt a little bad for lennon because hes a great ring announcer but he never gets the mega gigs. If Showtime gets Ricky Hatton vs Manny Pacquiao then maybe well see Jimmy lennon Jr get his shine.

Hate Bruce Buffer. You can practically see the spittle coming from his mouth as bellows out his intro's.

lol yer apparently that was one of the sticking points of drawing up the contract and the only way for them to sort it was to get it on haha

Michael Buffer is brilliant. He pronounces every name like a native of that person's respective country. Mistakes are extremely rare. Jimmy Lennon Jr. is excellent too, but clearly isn't as good. By the time Michael Buffer finishes his introductions, I'm so pumped my heart could jump out my chest.

Buffer is the P4P king when it comes to the mic. his brother in a close 2nd. imo his brother sucks,and gets by off of michael,idk he just seems to yelling without any passion,sounds stupid but it makes sense in my head

buffer is the voice of boxing. however, he needs to change his name asap, cause his brother is an embarassment to sports and sport announcers. Is his brother really that bad?

I remember Michael Carbajal having Michael Buffer as his announcer regardless. There were a few fights where Jimmy Lennon announced his opponents and Buffer took over for Carbajals introductions. I think Carbajal said something like no one ever hyped him up the way buffer did.

Remember when Lennon and Buffer had an "announce off" for Tyson Vs Lewis? That was quality.

Remember how Ed Derian use to double up on everyones last name? He would say say something like, Paul Williams, Williams. I couldn't stand Ed Derian...Derian. Damn was he annoying!

Having been a big fan of his father I like Lennon Jr, but I have to admit that Buffer brings the drama to a big event.
