    Comments Thread For: Marv Albert To Serve As Lead Announcer For PBC On NBC

    STAMFORD, Conn—One of America’s legendary broadcast voices, Marv Albert, will serve as blow-by-blow announcer for Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on NBC, it was announced Monday. Albert will be joined by analyst “Sugar” Ray Leonard for the debut of PBC on NBC in primetime Saturday, March 7 at 8:30 p.m. ET on NBC. Al Michaels will host.

    Albert will team with six-time world champion and 1976 Olympic gold medalist Leonard on all 11 of the 2015 NBC broadcasts of the Premier Boxing Champions. He previously called boxing on NBC from 1980-2003, including three Summer Olympics highlighted by the controversial 1988 bouts in Seoul, South Korea. Albert also serves as the lead NBA voice and an NCAA basketball announcer for Turner Sports.

    Albert’s debut PBC on NBC boxing show on NBC features a pair of blockbuster bouts -- Keith Thurman vs. Robert Guerrero, and Adrien Broner vs. John Molina Jr. -- live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

    “I’m so thrilled to be part of boxing’s primetime return to NBC, where I’ve had the good fortune to have been ringside for the call of so many exciting moments,” Albert said. [Click Here To Read More]

                      Pretty sure he used to call fights in the 80's. I was hoping for AL Michaels but this is as good if not better.

                          The Marvelous One is a good choice, he was pretty good at boxing in the past. He has good energy which I like for a fight because he gets people hyped.

                          He is not over the top though, I do agree I prefer Al Micheals to him but in reality Marv is still probably the best blow by blow guy, I certainly think he is a better broadcaster than Lamps.

                                  Pacheco is about 90yrs old but damn I loved when he called fights. Except for Benn-McClellan.

                                      Al Michaels is serving as the host for the NBC cards.
