    (August 5, 1958- )
    Announcers for Showtime Boxing
    Does the announcing voice for the game 'Knockout Kings'

Why he might be annoying:

    He incorporated his employer's name into his trademark 'It's Showtime' boxing intro.
    He over explains why he uses it: 'It evolved by working with Showtime (the cable network). We came up with a catch phrase with a double meaning: -It's Showtime- because the fight was televised by Showtime and -It's Showtime- like the Main Event. The phrase started out gradually and then developed to this big event. In fact, there were times where fireworks were timed with me saying -It's Showtime.- So through the years it developed as one of my trademarks.'
    He looks like he just came from the bar.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He rarely goofs up.
    He hired a coach to polish up his Spanish, and is able to announce in both languages.
    He gets to watch the fights at ringside, in between his announcements.
    He will root for fighters at ringside, but remains absolutely neutral when announcing them.
