Get Well Soon Michael Buffer

Best wishes go out to Michael Buffer who is having throat and neck surgery to remove small tumors. Along with Jimmy Lennon, Jr., Buffer is the best in the business. Watching the ring announcer to the Nate Campbell-Juan Diaz fight shows how a good ring announcer can add to the drama of hearing the decision. Friday Night Fights which has had a slew of local announcers through the years has had many who don't have a clue on how to properly announce a decision.

I must point out that Buffer's lead in to his signature line at the Pac-JMM fight this past week was uncharacteristic and beyond self-serving. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. That said, nothing but the best to Buffer and here is to a speedy recovery and a quick return to the ring.
