His voice built the atmosphere.  A very distinct voice that seemed to add excitement to a bout.  I remember Sportsnight fondly.  Good Egg.

Apart from when he hurst Tyson and Harry yelled "get in there Frank!".  He was an absolute legend-I know what you mean-he was honest all the way through the fight right up till the bitter end.
