Mar sin tagann an onóir iontach seo le humhaltacht ollmhór. Conas a d’fhéadfadh sé seo tarlú? Níor ghlac mé punch riamh.”

Mar gheall ar a chuid scileanna agus instincts bhíomar in ann na himeachtaí a chlúdach go domhain. Is iomaí uair a chuir Jim ar thóir an scéil go doiléir ar ár gcumas pictiúr iomlán na hócáide a phéinteáil.”

Albert spent two decades calling fights for SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

“Steve Albert’s incredible preparation and perfect timing were the reasons for his memorable fight calls,” Dinkins said. “Ba é Steve an guth a bhí ag Dornálaíocht Seaimpíní na gCraobhchomórtas trí troideanna ardphróifíle i ré Tyson agus Chavez. Beidh sé nasctha go deo leis na seónna sin a chabhraigh lenár líonra a bhunú mar phríomhchraoltóir dornálaíochta.”
