Were the guys announcing the fight that replays on ESPN the ones who commentated for HBO that night? Was this an HBO fight or a pay-per-view? I was thinking this was an HBO fight, but I was too young to remember the fight.

Anyone know the names of the announcers covering the fight that shows on ESPN? Were they calling the fight to a wide audience or does ESPN just not have the rights to the HBO call?

I'm interested because the announcers on the ESPN replay are really, really bad.

Thanks in advance...

The Colonel, Bob Sheridan.

Was there anyone who didn't love love watching Tyson go down. Classic moment in boxing history...

The fight was originally an HBO fight, not PPV, and Lampley, Merchant, and
Sugar Ray Leonard made the call. I have a tape and also watch it a lot. It
was one of the most memorable nights in not only boxing history, but sports
history!
