Gary I was wondering you gave me a downloader code do you type it in with the quotation marks and the period at the end?
For me personally I enjoy scoring every 10 and 12 round fight to compare it with the official scores etc if I freeze for several minutes or buffer a few times during rounds I would not be very happy. Thats just me. Take care and thanks again.
Oh and when you went to Philly fights did you ever see ring announcer Ed Derian?
…. Derian.
met him a couple times seemed like a nice guy
Best ring announcers in my lifetime: Johnny Addie, Ed Darien, Jimmy Lennon Sr.
I remember as a little kid Lennon Sr did the wrestling matches in LA the son looks exactly like him. Funny you didn’t mention Chuck Hull. Take Care
Johnny:
– The Downloader code of 28907 is typed in without quotes or period.
– I responded in the Philly post regarding freeze-ups and buffering.
– I don’t score if I am rooting ; get too excited to score while yelling / cursing, etc., at the TV.
– I remember Ed Derian at the Blue. I also remember Mark Biero (spelling) as ring announcers. Rudy Battle was my favorite ref.
– I also remember seeing a heavyweight fight (don’t remember the combatants), but I saw them get on the Broad Street subway after the fight – they didn’t have cars !!
– Take care.
Gary if you see this do you remember an announcer named Gordon Wood? Crazy guy that ran around the ring while doing the introductions did lots of Tuesday night fights. Died quite young from a brain tumor i think.
Johnny:
– No, I never saw Gordon Wood.
– The way that you describe him, I would remember.
– Take care.
I am being cancel-cultured after 20 years on this site???
Thank you, mods, 4 re-instating me.
– Take care.
