Yes, he does that well. I'm not a big fan of over-bombastic announcing, but that part of Mauro is ok with me.
It's being a stand-up comic where he fails. Like when they hired Dennis Miller on "Monday Night Football."
Mauro tries way too hard. I think he spends a week before the fight jotting down "clever" remarks and puns, and then waits to spring them. That's annoying.
He also can't wait to spring that tired catch-phrase any time there's a ko: "Mama Mia!" That's not exactly "Let's Get Ready to Rumble" or even "Holy Cow."
There's a jerk doing NY Yankees broadcasts who has to end every victory with his "trademark" of "Thuuuuuuuh YANKEES WIN!" Makes people wish the Yankees would never win.
A catch-phrase should come naturally. So should quips. It seems Al Bernstein never laughs, but is merely tolerant when Mauro springs another prepared pun. And (one, two...) PUNishment belongs in the ring, not at ringside.
That Yankee announcer sounds like a **** star faking an orgasm. So, sickening.
I miss Sal Marciano . Great blow by blow back in the ESPN days.
He just improvised it.
But, the essence of Ali's witty line was there.
Funny enough, he said what a KO then Brezeale got up and almost beat the count.
LOL, he said the similar thing when Wilder floored Fury in the 12th round and then was SHOCKED when Fury got up. Mauro gets a little too excited.
That’s kind of his job buddy. Play by play

I don't think that is it. He just tried to get clever with the name Breazeale lol.
His line he said later was even better, "Wilder put Breazeale's body in airplane mode" LMAO.

Yes, Breazeale stopped Molina but he was life and death with the guy and badly hurt a round or so before the stoppage
Hardly lightyears.
Breazeale is in the same tier as Molina whether we like it or not. Neither will ever be champion barring some shenanigans fighting for a vacant title against someone of their caliber.Well, perhaps you right. In any case that was great crowd pleasing performance by Deontay Wilder though.
Brazil said he was going to smile when hit. Not sure if Brazil was smiling while on canvas.
But brave talk won't impress wilder in future. Even if you smile in future when hit by wilder he wont believe your not hurt.
You have to put hands behind back like fury did after being hit by wilder.
Stolen from Ali.
" Shavers hit me so hard, my descendants in Africa felt it."
I don't think that is it. He just tried to get clever with the name Breazeale lol.

MAMMA F’N MIA!!! @BronzeBomber @ShowtimeBoxing 🥊🔥— Mauro Ranallo (@mauroranallo) May 19, 2019
Great Call by Mauro Ranallo I actually like the "Mamma Mia" thing that he does personally but some don't :dunno:
Absolutely. People think he ad-libbed it?
This guy sits around for weeks writing this crap down. He's so corny AND obvious about it.
Unlike modest Al Bernstein, his partner Moron wants to be a star and call attention to himself.
That idiotic shout of "MAMA MIA" is older than his mama mia. It's a shame HBO is out and Showtime is in, because Lampley is so much classier than phony Mauro.

You prefer "bang, bang, bang"?:lol1: Jim is cool by me tho.
i thought it was a corny and trash line.

The fact is Dominic Breazeale is a much better talent than Eric Molina ever was. You can't compare those two. Breazeale is light years ahead of Molina when it comes to skills and natural talent of the two.
Yes, Breazeale stopped Molina but he was life and death with the guy and badly hurt a round or so before the stoppage

He said it RIGHT when Breazeale got dropped. Like Rexy said, he definitely had that planned all day because no way did he just think of that right on the spot lol.
Yea just saw it on replay. No wonder I didnt hear cuz was laughing and everyone yelling "Oh **** he dead" lol
WTF how did I miss this???
