    Michael Buffer fell off!

    Did anyone notice how in recent years Buffer hasn't been the announcer he used to be years ago? During the Chavez/Martinez bout he pronounced "La legenda continua.." with the worst accent ever and it didn't even make sense. Honestly it made me cringe a little bit. I remember he used to nail almost all of the spanish pronunciation very well. I think Jimmy Lennon JR has been more consistent than Buffer and still makes an honest effort when announcing fighters names and origins. Thoughts anyone?

        Lmao! True! Nick was going so slow too. It was almost as he was announcing on AGT.

            Seems a little burned out. He's also been doing a lot more gigs overseas then in America, seems the promoters will rather pay a smaller fee then book the most expensive guy in the sport.

                1. Yeah, Nick Cannon was horrible. Doesn't have the voice or lungs, nor any originality. He came, he tried, he ******.

                2. And yes, Buffer has aged a bit and I think his maturity has dulled down his delivery and effect. Still the man, but I agree, Jimmy "The Gent" Lennon Jr. is right on his ass these days.

                If May/Pac ever gets made, you have to go with Buffer though...imo.
