"OH MY GAWD. Another left by Wilder.... And another on Martin. OH MY GAWD, SOMEONE NEEDS TO CALL THE AUTHORITIES. WE NEED SOME POLICE OFFICERS DAMNIT. This is a TRUE BLUE BEATDOWN"
ya i've worked with him a few times on different projects. will be hanging with him next month in dallas. great guy. psyched to hear him back on boxing soon.
Make an official JR Boxing thread in NSB, And keep us updated on everything JR Boxing
Not surprised that many on here are fawning over this news. It'll suit NSB's wrestling fan like minded mentality that most user on here seem to perpetuate.
As an actual boxing fan I'd rather not see the sport turn into a circus.
I doubt itll be as good as his wwe commentary
they would always feed him bizarre scenarios for him to yell by gawwddd about and lawler flipping out in the background and the combination would be hilarious
having him yell it every time a decent punch lands wont be the same, seems awkward
Lol at all these boxing elitists, "oh no, we can't have a fake wrestling commentator, PBC and Haymon losing credibility doe." :lol1:
I don't know how much knowledge Ross has, but he can't be any worse than Gus Johnson or Jim Lampley. And he isn't a biased douche or a racist like Lampley either.
Jim Ross, Larry Merchant, and Roy Jones would be my commentary dream team.
My dream team is Jim Ross, Teddy Atlas, and Emmanuel Steward.
I've heard Ross do boxing before for a army vs navy amateur boxing show.
He's actually pretty good, brings something new to the sport.
He's not very knowledgable but he has one liners for days. And tbh, besides Atlas who really gives any boxing knowledge to fans?
I think you guys will like him tbh.
I can't wait!!! :boxing:
Watching this to see how he did when he tried it before
This was in 2014, if he's been brushing up on the sport since then maybe he'll do OK.
I had no idea Canelo Alvarez and Tim Bradley fought eachother.
"The Cowboy is riding high, looking for a knock out!"

Lol true. Plus he said it, he's just going to call the action and get to know the fighters. 99% of these posters talking crap would sound like sh*t on the mic, trying to convey to the audience what is going on. You can know the sport 100%, but calling it is a whole different thing.
Jim is an all time great and I'm definitely more likely to watch a lower level boxing event if JR is on commentary.
Have spent some time with JR behind the scenes over the years and he's one of the funniest mother****ers I've ever met.
You met him?
