"He's not getting up, Jim!"

I can't hear the voices properly on this vid:

It's been a while, but on my old VHS copy I have the fight with full commentary by Harry Carpenter, and the Quote you posted sounded exactly like that.

BTW on the above vid it says it has the RADIO commentary by Harry Carpenter. Is that correct? Again going by memory, my copy has several long passages where Carpenter is silent. Surely that cannot have been radio.

That does sound just like him, but the search I did on Google has Time Magazine, The Guardian, and Buzzfeed all reporting that it was David Frost rather than Harry Carpenter that uttered the quote.

**** **** lampley's often guilty of trying to make dramatic moments seem more dramatic. just call the fights when they're good, jim. the sport is dramatic enough when you have good matchmaking and the fighters are young. you and max don't have to call every fight a potential fight of the year after one decent exchange in the 3rd round.


sometimes he gets it right, doe. sometimes they just have good nights. the whole booth was on point for pavlik - taylor 1.


"there's a new middleweight champion, and he's from youngstown ohio."

"muscle memory strikes again."

"kelly pavlik is a yough cookie from youngstown."

I agree 100%.

Lately it seems they try to push almost every fight they televise as being a "contender for fight of the year."

And every one of their fighters has to be in the top 5 P4P.
