Feel sorry for Lennon there. Nobody gave a **** about his "it's fight time." Everyone went wild for "lets get ready to rumble."Comment

Michael Buffer is akin to baseball; Jimmy Lennon Jr is akin to football/soccer.
The "let's get ready to rumble" tagline has been wildly successful, largely due to the cache that it picked up with the Tyson/Holyfield/Bowe/Lewis era of heavyweight boxing.
Still, when it comes to the skill of announcing and building the spector of an event, there's no one that currently does it better than Jimmy Lennon Jr. And that's the case in Montreal, Mexico City, Moscow, Munich, the MGM Grand in Vegas, or any other venue/locale that you can think of.
You add that Lennon Jr is only 55 (Buffer is 70) and I'm not sure why this is much of a debate tbh.Comment
