| | Tam-Tam: From The Ashesh tells me that he likes the red cos it loads faster. | |
| | popeye: There's something in this clip that exposes the "essence" of boxing. The timing,, the breathing,, the passion, the rythmic drumming that foretells one on one combat, & the associated anticipation. It is probably too pure for entertainment seekers.
Loved it. | |
| | mdtaylor: I couldn't stop watching it - not only is it the "essence" of boxing but also a beautiful piece of art that can be appreciated by people even if they are not boxing fans - I did the research, I showed it to everyone. | |
| | Casey: DK whatdoes that have to do with the video or the article | |
| | David Kellog: What do you think of B-Hop retiring and the raise of in-house Golden Boy Promotions reality star Otis Griffin. | |
| | cremster: Wow. Had to do a double-take to make sure I was in Fightbeat. Love what you done to the place. Keep up the great work guys! | |
| | Pat Walsh: A poster on another boxing board raved about this video and included a link. Am I glad I clicked on it. I'll be telling every fight fan I know. Joe Rein deserves a medal. | |
| | Bruce Dundore: Dog. Nice article. | |
| | Edgar G. Wallace: Dear Joe, Before I play it, I want to let you know in UNEQUIVOCAL terms that of ALL the expressions in boxing I abhor, "Lets get ready to rumble" is at the VERY top. Next is " let's git it awn". The latters' only advantage is that it's much shorter than the monotonous bellow of Mr "Rumble". I ALWAYS turn down the TV at that ppart, also when the fighters' names are announced, because .....well, I'm also a musician with an excellent ear, and the rising (and LONG-LASTING) crescendo that Mr. "Rumble" uses in announcing the names of thwe poor gladiators, takes away completely any real resemblance to their actual cognomens. It's purely an expensive farce.
It really detracts from the Noble science to portray it as a low kind of entertainment for toughs and roughnecks, to whom the English language is on "Pike's Peak". And when it's being purveyed by a supreme ego-directed, pastyfaced (also face "lifted")
artifically-chesty-voiced preening window dummy, I'm appalled. Jimmy Lennon is the epitome of Boxing announcers, (as Bob Sheridan is the punch-by-punch commentator) not this imitation of a poorly embalmed and preserved corpse. AND.....not LEAST-- to hear that he gets $25,000 for it.....Words (as you've no doubt noticed) FAIL me!!. Now I see his BROTHER is getting into the act with Martial Arts Announcing, making it a family business, where no real work needs to be done except to look in the mirror. The brother is trying to emulate the artificially -chesty emission, but it is a poor imitation of a poor effort. Sounds more like marsh gas escaping from a subterranean orifice, and patently false. So.....Joe, them's my sentiments...Now I can look at the item in peace.
