The_budweiser Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 “IT’S SHOWTIME” for Jimmy Lennon, Jr., the world renowned and universally respected ring announcer who’ll be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame this Sunday, June 9, in Canastota, N.Y. Lennon, son of the late legendary ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Sr., started as a back-up to his famous father at the Olympic Auditorium and Forum in Los Angeles before coming to SHOWTIME in 1991. In a 25-year career, he has introduced fights in more than 32 countries, and is closing in on his 900th world championship fight. Widely hailed for his smooth delivery, finesse and flawless pronunciation of difficult names, “The Classy” Jimmy Lennon Jr., always introduces foreign fighters in their native tongue. “Wherever I go, whether it is France, Germany, Turkey, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, I like to welcome the fans and the fighters in their language.” http://ringnews24.com/index.php/world-boxing-news/item/4990-jimmy-lennon-jr-to-be-inducted-into-international-boxing-hall-of-fame-this-sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selij Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Re: Jimmy Lennon Jr. to be inducted into International Boxing Hall of Fame this Sunda Well deserved. And agree with above post Michael needs to go in there too. The "big" boxing match is something the Americans do so well. The spectacle, the big occasion.
