Anyway, we're Cavino and Rich is Fox Sports Radio and
we had a welcome him back. We had such a
great interview, great time talking to him last time. He's

doing it.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
He's the man. Let's welcome back, Jim Lay. Everybody is
what's up, Jim?
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Goodness see him. What a great pleasure to be here.
Thank you for the ovation. I'm sure that the you
guys are sitting down, But those other people I heard there,
they were there.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
They were out of their seats, no question.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
You know, Jim, we.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Talked you about boxing so much last time. I had
a couple questions for you based on some of the
other stuff you've done TV appearances, cameos and movies. Is
that a thrill for you? Because I just saw that
you were at Blades of Glory with Will Ferrell.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
You know, I've done seventeen movies SA And one of
the things I say to young people trying to get
into this business, if you want to be a sports
commentator and you want to appear in movies, do boxing
because there are there are many more boxing movies than
based on any other sport. Why is that enclosed space?
(02:45):
Relatively small space, only two competitors facing each other face
to face, highly personal kind of conflict and intensity. You
don't have to go through all the technical challenges of
shooting a football game or a baseball game or basketball game.
Boxing is the movie sport.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
And boxing has the most colorful backstories. Yeah, when it comes.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Out absolutely and it's all personal. Yeah, okay, it's everything.
Everything comes out of the content of the human being, right,
you know it's not you know that the end of
the story isn't that you're six seven and two hundred
and eighty five pounds and can bench press for fifty
The end of the story.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Is who are you inside?
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Because that's really what shows up in a fight in
in a boxing match. And that's why directors and writers
go to boxing, and that's why I was in seventeen
different movies.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Let me give you a couple, Balboa, Southball, Creed Grudge Match,
and I mentioned Blades of Glory and a show that
we watched.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
You were on Eastbound and Down. Yes, I have Kenny Powers.
I was Dandy McBride, that guy's he's been on our show,
funny dude.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Huh Yeah, Well that was was that HBO? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yeah, And well that's the reason I was on it, Okay,
because I was the HBO boxing guy, had an HBO identity,
and so they, oh, we want a sportscaster, we'll get Jim.
So that that helped too. The fact that it was
boxing and the fact that it was HBO.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Yeah, does that make you easier?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I was gonna ask that, Like, you've been part of
so many major events right under the bright lights millions
of people watching you. Do you feel a different pressure
when you're playing yourself in a movie or a show
like that, or feeling no pressure?
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Yeah, I'm privileged to be on the set.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, I'm shoulder to shoulder with the director.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
We're gonna do a voice over session together where we
sit together and talk about it and everything like that.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I'm I'm in the movie world, and and so. But
it's such a different piece.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
No pressure.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I feel like when you're calling.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
But when when he's calling a fight, he has to
be spontaneous and he's calling it as he sees it.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
When he's doing a movie, he has to know the lies.
He's got more skills than you apparently apparently say that.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Okay, you would say that, but in most of the
boxing situations, the directors opted for, Okay, let's not have
a script, Jim, just.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Do it all right, that's so cool.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
So, for instance, Ocean's eleven, I'm standing at ringside getting
ready to do the on camera for Oceans eleven with
Larry Merchant and the director famous director names escaped me
for the moment comes.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Out and he's holding the camera.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So Soberg soda Berg exactly right.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Soderberg arrives at ringside and he's holding the camera and
he says, okay, you guys ready.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
And I said, well, you haven't told us exactly what
you want.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
I want you to do an opening on camera for
Lennox Lewis and Vladimir Klitchko and it's Larry and me
just do it. And he holds the camera and he
shoots the thing and you know, we do it, go
through it and everything like that, and then he chooses
one and a half seconds to put into the movie.
But I'm in there, and the Ocean's eleven. And I
(05:49):
mentioned there were seventeen movies. Most of them are boxing.
Which one of You've got a list there? Which one
of my movies? Do you suppose has paid me the
most money?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Oh? You probably, You probably get a couple a couple
of bucks in the mail from I would say Creed.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I feel like airs a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
No, it's not a boxing yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
And and and uh, it plays all over the world
somewhere Manila, Jakarta, says Catchuwan. Tonight you can see Blades
of Glory. Blades Blades of Glory spits out a check
for me every quarter. It's better than almost any of
the other checks. Still to this day. And I'll never forget.
(06:31):
The day of the shoot, I was in my trailer.
We're shooting in Los Angeles at the Forum. I'm in
my trailer outside the forum.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
And the expert commentator is Scott Hamilton and uh and
Scotty shows up. He's been traveling somewhere. He's skating, doing exhibitions.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Whatever it is.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Bangs on my truck door. Who's there, Scott? Oh great, Scott,
come on in lamps. Have you have you read the script?
Do you have any idea what it is?
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Chad Michael Michaels, everyone's favorite figure skater.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
That's so funny, I said, Scott. I have read the script. Okay,
so I've got your back here.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
I know exactly what it is that we're doing, and
and I'll help you through it if you need it.
But I think we're gonna be fine. He says, what
exactly are we doing? I said, Scott.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
We are doing every bad gay figure skating joke in
the history of figure skating.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
That's amazing. He looks at me. It's a great movie,
by the way, it's still good.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
It's absolutely brilliant. He looks at me and thinks for
a second, and he says, Jim, there are no bad
gay figure skating jokes, just.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
A whole lot of gay figure skating jokes, and that's
the movie.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Exactly love it, Jim.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You know we're you know, get ready for two big
fights tomorrow. A whole car to fights and then in July.
I'm sure you've been asked a million times about Tyson
and Jake Paul.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
When you think back before we.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Get to these fights, ask a million times today, as I'd.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Imagine, do you remember, like I'm looking for to just
the idea of, like I wonder how this is going
to pan out? In your career watching boxing, calling box
what fight were you actually intrigue the most of, Like
how is this going.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
To pan out?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Like actual intrigue going into the fight?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Well, all of them.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
I mean I have a passion for boxing, okay, And
there were a lot of fights that the public didn't
know to care about, but I did know to care
about because of personal relationships and background and stuff like that.
You know, because I was personally close to both Lennox
Lewis and Mike Tyson, I had that kind of passionate
(08:30):
expectation about what's going to I think I did know
what was going to happen, but you know, I on
behalf of both of them.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I wanted to watch it play out. But generally speaking,
all of them.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
I mean, if you asked me, what fight stays in
my mind the most now that I'm away from it,
been away for years. Miguel Coto versus Antonio Margarito, we
watched a crime. We watched harve a felonious assault, and.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
He got his revenge.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
He could have been killed, and it still cracks me up.
I still get emotional because I love Miguel and I
can't believe what he went through that night.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
You know.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
So all of them mean something to me, and they
mean something.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Because this is not like other sports.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
This is an extremely personal face to face.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
You know, we share sweat, you taste.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Each other's blood, We you know, intermingle our breath, et cetera,
et cetera, not like.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
In any other sport.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
And what I say to fans and viewers, particularly the
ones who are uninitiated, is what you have to understand
is that boxing is about love and I shouldn't try
to get through this because it you know, it cracks
me up emotionally to talk about it. But I always
say to people, when you see two fighters go through
one of those twelve round.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Hell on Earth blood.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
And sweat fights where it looks like they're trying to
kill each other, what you don't realize is that through
all that they're.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Falling in love.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
And when you see them reach out and embrace and
fall into each other's arms at the end of the fight,
that's real.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
That's not fake. That's because now they have interacted in
such a way that they know each other better than.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Anybody else on earth. They know each other better than
their mothers, their wives, etcetera, etcetera. Again, they've tasted each
other's sweat and blood. They know every weakness and every
strength after those twelve rounds. So gaddy ward those kinds
of fights. You know, I can't speak rationally about those
(10:43):
kinds of experiences. And it's not like calling a football
game or a baseball game, or Olympic swimming or any
of the other things I've done. It's something much more
passionate and personal and emotional.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Hanging out with him. Lampley here on the Coveno and
Rich Show, five Sports Radio. Can we call you Lamps, Yeah, Lamps.
Lamps is here.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Everybody in the world can call me Lamps.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
When you're so emotionally connected to all these fighters in
these moments and these fights, and you called Mike Tyson fights,
and you watched him grow up and you've seen him
battle in the ring. Is there a part of you
that's in the ring, And are you concerned about him
being too old to be doing this and his legacy
and what he's in store for.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Of course, you know he's fifty seven years old.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
And Mike was my entry into boxing because I was
assigned to boxing at ABC Sports by an incoming new
division executive in nineteen eighty seven who wanted to get
rid of me. Whose basic impression of ABC Sports when
he arrived as the new division president was who was
Jim Lampley And why are we paying him all this money?
(11:46):
And how do I get rid of him? And he
he thought that because of my personal style or the
way I dressed or whatever, that I would not fit
in boxing and he could force me. He wanted me
to walk away from my contract, and he wanted to
force me out of the network.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Because you did so many other sports and you want
the boxing guy, and they.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Just didn't like me, okay.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
And he thought that if he put me on Mike
Tyson Fights, that the boxing fans wouldn't like me and
that would be a rejection and I'd be embarrassed, and
he could get me to leave ABC.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Sportow that's like an all time that's like an all
time backfighter. Yeah, like, look at where we are now,
that's wild.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
When I was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame,
did you give that guy a shout out of what
he was? The person I was thinking of when I
made that speech. But yes, it happened.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
It did.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
And and so when you talk about Mike, my first
five or six television network boxing exposures were Mike Fights
and Fights on ABC. I was the person who introduced
the nineteen year old Mike Tyson to the public. And
I went to the fighter meetings and I met him
and I called the fight in Tokyo, And you know,
(12:55):
we have a long and deep personal connection.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
He's a dear friend.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
So is he taking this serious in July?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Do you get the sense from from what you know
of Mike, because do you think he wouldn't do this
if he wasn't going to take it serious.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Well, I'm sure he's taking it seriously. I'm sure he
understands what's at stake. He's a very intelligent human being.
Mike's Mike's no dummy. Uh So he understands this on
on all the levels on which you could talk about it,
from personal to existential.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
He knows what he's doing.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
He knows that, Uh, there's something at stake here in
terms of, uh, the image of boxing, there's something at
stake here in terms of the evolution of electronic communication.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
But I think probably what's significant to him, which is
significant in my life too. I can't criticize him for
is that he's gonna make money. Yeah, and he's gonna
pay get paid a.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Not plaid the glory money, nothing like that, nothing like that.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
He won't be getting a check every quarter from yeah,
exactly for his how long, however long that's been. So
I think think that that's an answer. And anytime you're
watching somebody walk into the ring with gloves on against
somebody without experience, whatever, whatever the circumstances. He's fifty seven
(14:14):
years old, this is dangerous and it's dangerous for Jake
Paul too. Jake Paul's not a trained boxer. He could
train for five years and tell me I'm a trained boxer.
That's not what boxing is, Okay. Boxing is a life occupation.
Mike was a life fighter. He has instincts that will
never leave him and which nobody like Jake Paul could
(14:37):
ever develop.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
So We don't know what's going to happen.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
In that ring, and all I hope is that both
guys walk out healthy and Mike makes a ton of
money and it helps him in his life and makes
him happy and beyond that, I have no stake in
that enterprise.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Hey, Jim, I've.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Heard multiple people say, you know, power's the last thing
to go? Is that a cliche? Or do you believe
that is? Like does a guy like Mike Powell.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Does George Foreman when he knocked out Michael Moore.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
In his forties right for forty five?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Power is the last thing to go?
Speaker 4 (15:11):
So this is true?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
You believe George had not lost an ounce of his
power and he knew that and the whole You're gonna
go back and watch the fight.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
The whole fight.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Did he tell you last time you were here setting
up one shot?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
He said, he said he told you how it was
going to go down? Is that true? I feel like
you told us that he told you that you told
I think you told us that you had like I
think I'm the one who.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Markets the story.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
I don't know that George is marketing the story the
way I market the story. But you know, we were
working together as the commentary team on HBO, Larry and
George and I were calling the fights, so he's my
expert commentator. So that means that in the months prior
to his fight with Holyfield, I'm at crew meals, I'm
(15:56):
at fighter meetings, I'm at production meeting, I'm in a
variety of occasions where George and I are sitting together
shoulder shoulder, the table shoulder or shoulder.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Dinner sometimes stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
And there were not a lot of occasions, but maybe
three or four occasions when.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I pulled him aside into.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
A private circumstance and said, George, how are you going
to beat Mura? Okay, he's southpaw, he's a mover. Holy
Field couldn't find him, and he has better feet than
you do, etc. What's the plan?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
How are you going to find Moora?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
And he always said the same thing and in the
same words, Jim, you watch there will come a moment
late in the fight when he is going to come
and stand in front of me and let me knock
him out.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Now go look at the video. Yeah, amazing, right, it's uncanny.
You know, how did he know? How did he set
it up?
Speaker 5 (16:49):
I don't want to speculate on, you know, everything that
went down, but you know, it's very clear to me
that George had a plan. George knew that the plan
was likely to work. And George knocked Moor out exactly
the way he thought he would knock him out, and
pretty much at the moment that he thought he would
knock him out when Moor came and stood in front
of him and gave him that chance.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Jim Lambley hanging out with Cavino and rich and hence
the call, right, wasn't your call like he did?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Like, yeah, he did. It's the call. Is it happened,
happen there?
Speaker 4 (17:20):
It is, it happened, It.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Happened twice, it happened.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
It happened, And the call is the product of you know,
Joe Cortes is counting, and by the time Joe Cortes
has counted to five, it's abundantly clear. You know, I'm
fifteen eighteen feet away looking across the canvas, and it's
abundantly clear that more there's no movement. He's not getting up. Okay,
this is done, and now I've got five seconds to
(17:47):
think to myself. First, why didn't I come up a
line for this. Why did I not believe what George
told me? Why have I prepared nothing for all of this?
And what am I going to say? And the next
thing I think is those conversations with George at crew
meals and at dinner, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
So what I say, it happened, it happened is.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Actually sort of an answer to George and like, you
told me this what happens to me?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
And oh my god, you made it happen. It happened.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
And by the way, it's purely spontaneous. It has no
prep whatsoever. It's my most memorable call ever in boxing.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Thanks for sharing the moment, man, it's a great story.
It's a great moment. Jim Lampley's here on the Covino
and Rich Show. And what I love about you and
just talking to you is so evident that you're speaking
from the.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Heart and all these things meant so much.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
You mean because I'm crying, No, not at all, man,
because I know you have such a passion for it, right,
I have a tremendous passion. How do you feel when
you hear other sports commentators and broadcasters just going for
the hot take, and you think to yourself, because we
live in a hot take culture, like there's no way
this person really feels that they're just saying that to
get a reaction.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
I don't ctique or really pay much attention to what
other sports commentators do unless they are people whom I
know to be great. You know, if I could hear
one more time Al Michaels.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Or Vin Scully call a baseball game, what a.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Treasure that would be, because you know that they are,
to me, the two greatest television baseball broadcasters of all time.
Al Michaels does a wonderful job with football, but do
I associate him with that the way I do with baseball? No,
Baseball was his identity sport, So I pay attention to
those kinds of things. I listen to boxing commentators when
(19:40):
they're calling fights. I'll be listening to at some point
Malrow on Amazon, but of course a lot of the
Amazon fights, I'll be there doing PPV dot com, so
I won't be hearing what he says at that particular time.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I'm gonna am I gonna go back and listen later.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
No, I'm not that. What's the hardest stat the call?
Is there the hardest sport to call?
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Where you just oh, I think baseball is the most
challenging sport to call, because I mean, and particularly if
you go back and listen to the way Scully or
Al did it alone on radio and never had the
privilege of hearing Red Barber or Mel Allen alone on radio.
But all of them worked without expert commentators on radio.
And if you do that right, you're managing both teams.
(20:24):
You are describing both teams organizational approaches and farm systems.
There's so much detailed knowledge that goes into that. And oh,
by the way, at some point you're bringing it down
to the most fundamental elements. Two in one count, runner
on first, one out, and you're continually keeping the audience
(20:44):
in that moment. So it's really it's the best college
education sport for broadcasters. I only did it for a
very short period of time in the eighties. I did
the B game when Al was doing the A game
on ABC Sports, which.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I couldn't shine his shoes. But at the end of the.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Day, uh yeah, it's still very meaningful to me to
listen and pay attention to how people call games.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Jim, you're returning to the ring co hosting the.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Popular dot com live be question TPV docs speaking speaking
of broadcast.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Futialism, putilism, victory.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
There you go, speaking of broadcasters.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Jim, you know we're on Fox Sports Radio, so we
work with Dan Patrick. Do people say you give Dan
Patrick vibes? Or does he give Jim Lampley vibes? And
can you kick his ass?
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (21:33):
I back in the day when I was still prominent
and you know, doing network stuff NBC, ABC and stuff
like that, and Dan was coming along, I had probably, oh,
I don't know, one hundred misidentifications really yeah, oh I
(21:54):
know that. Boys you're Dan Patrick or hey, mister Patrick,
can I have your autograph?
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Stuff like that?

A very silly guy.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Well, you know, I'd always say, look, I'm a Dan
Patrick fan, but I'm not Dan Patrick. That is that
is somebody else. Whether whether the same thing ever happened
to him, I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I'm sure it has. Yeah, we got it.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Next time I see, I'm gonna.

for hosting us this weekend. And Cavin, I have a
couple thoughts jumping around this big head of mine number one,
but you do have a big giant melon number one
as you do talk about basketball and March badness. Just
to show you how you don't need to know a
thing sometimes to win, and sometimes the people that know
(24:41):
everything don't.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Cavino is currently.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
In second place in the Fox Sports Radio Bracket Challenge.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Like above, Plexico burs right, yeah, Jasetew.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
You're a Bubbs Jonas here no, uh, Jason Smith.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Oh, Jason Smith. It's right. You know, sometimes.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Maybe you just know more than people think, or you
just guessed on a bracket, or maybe I'm just more
knowledgeable than you give me credit for.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
I'm gonna I'm gonna go with uh.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
I'll go with that.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Okay here, geeuz, all right, there's so enjoy the madness,
and I hope you're enjoying this show.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Man.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
We're live in Vegas for the Big Fight this weekend.
Tim Zoofandora, Rollie Romero, who was on the show. We
started our show with Roly Romero, if you missed it
catching on the podcast and pit Bull Cruise.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
You know, it's funny to be if you said if
you miss Roly it the way we had a conversation
with Jim Lampley, Yeah, versus our conversation with Roly Ramiro.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
You know what it's like.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
It's like, imagine if it was the nineties or two thousands,
and you went speed dating and you had two drastically
different conversations with two different people, not that they were both.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
One was good and one was bad. It just people
are so different.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I hate to paint in such broad strokes, Rich, but
you have a guy who's older, he's a professional broadcaster,
he's sitting here speaking from wisdom and experience. Right. Rollie
Romero is a young dude. He's in his twenties, and
I feel like a lot of those young dudes.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Are just like that.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
We've interviewed Ryan Garcia.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
You know they're the same, They're like the same way,
but you know, it's just the way they are.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
I don't know another way to.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Put fighters make me feel Danny like I have an
attention span, right, And.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
I'm saying it's it's a generational difference.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Of course, you know, there's a there're different people and
they do different things.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I get it.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
There was a huge crowd outside for that left from
the way in right as we were about to start
on the air, and people were stopping trying to take
photos with Roli. And he was so funny because he
would take a quick photo and then he was telling everyone,
I gotta go pee, I have to go to the bathroom.
Let me go to the bathroom. I'll come back for
more photos. And he was bouncing and jumping as he
(26:45):
was talking.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
He's young fans. Yeah, there were hundreds.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Hundreds of his fans out there. You know.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I wish I could think of another example on the spot. Hey, spot,
maybe you can think of an example on the spot.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Danny G. Cavino, times you fell in love love with
something by.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Accident, because I feel like when Jim Lampley tells the
story about how as almost like an f you and
a punishment back in the day, ABC's like, all right, Jim,
we're gonna throw you on boxing.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Good luck. It's interesting, he says.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
I remember, like Jim Lampley was covering all different sports, swimming,
you know, random a dolls for us, Yeah, golf, and
all of a sudden, that dude, you know, and he
was like a smiley kind of broadcasting dude. Right, he's
calling fights. I remember that as a kid.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
And then he becomes the face of boxing broadcast and
he clearly you could hear the tears in his eyes.
The guy film, you can even hear them. You can
hear them, but he fell in love with boxing. And
I can't think of something at the top of my head,
but those times where sometimes you're introduced to something that
you never thought you'd fall in love with.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
It could be a woman, it could be.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
A place, a place, it could be a type of food,
it could it could be anything.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
It could be absolutely like where you just don't realize, like, wow,
I had no clue this is gonna be such a
big part of my life.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Two things.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I want to reiterate your point here too, not that
you didn't say it clearly, but not everybody heard Jim Lampley.
A lot of people joining us. Maybe they were trying
to sabotage him back in the day, putting him in boxing,
like no one's gonna like this guy in boxing.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
And they thought he would. They thought he would leave
his contract and peace out.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
It turns out not only did he fall in love
with boxing, but boxing loved him, the fans loved him,
and he had a stellar career.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
So again, very very interesting.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
To hear, just such a such an interesting thought that
you could fall in love with something.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
That was designed to sabotage you.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
You know, dB have a great weekend, But real quick.
How would you pronounce the capital of New York? You
said it's where the games are being played.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Albany.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah. I was gonna say, I feel like.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
You and I Covino, because if you're from New York,
you lean into like Albany. I like, I've heard you
and other people be like all but Albany such a
it's such a all coach.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
It's more of an Albany.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Oh yeah, he's right, you say it right though.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
You have a great weekend, man, heypy Easter, Dan, Yeah,
happy Easter. Enjoy the holiday, peeps, enjoy.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Thank you for hanging out with us, Cavino and Rich
live from the MGM Radio Row in Las Vegas for
Prime Videos, PBC and the tire Rack dot Com studio. Bowen,
Sam and Dan Byer back in La We're here in
Vegas for the big fight this weekend, Tim Zue Vandora again.
Tim Sue five foot seven Fandora six foot six, and
then Roly Romero versus Pitt Bull Cruise.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
That's gonna be fun.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
It's gonna be a fun fight to watch also just
visually because of the size difference.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
I wise, such interest and intrigue.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
And there was one more thing I want to say
before we moved on and talked about toamor Hamlin and
all these other things we gotta get to. I'm not
sure everybody remembered what Jim Lampley was referring to. Rich
You asked him about, you know, his heart beat in
the ring or something like that, and he used Antonio
Margarito versus Miguel Coto as.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
An example, and you saw how emotional he got there.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
He said, because these are people's lives, and they're fighting
for their lives. Antonio Margarito to refresh the memory of
a lot of people who may forgot fight fans.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Remember he was caught.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
With plaster in his gloves, and he just tore up
Miguel Coto, who was such a proud champion. He kept
fighting and fighting, and I mean Miguel Coto fought hard,
but Margarito just broke him down so bad. And it
turned out he was cheating the whole time, and which
was a terrible time.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
For terrible time.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
And he saw how emotional Lampley he got there, saying, hey,
and Miguel's my friend. And I was hard to watch,
but and I referenced it quickly Miguel Coto did get
his revenge and he did beat Margarito years later. So
a great interview if you missed it, Rolling Romero earlier
today and Jim Lampley, and because we're here in Vegas,
(30:49):
I just want to remind people too. We'll be doing
an extra podcast, the Bonus Podcast. You can hear it
tomorrow on Fox Sports Radio right really stream your broadcast.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
We'll be talking about the fight, who we think is
gonna win.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
And we got some other nonsense that we got to
get to, Like we're not gonna fit it into the
show today, but did you see that dude who married
a conjoined twin.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
I'm glad you brought this up because I feel like
your thoughts, but I want to save it for the podcast.
I want my thoughts to the Bonus Pod because I
feel like I will say.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
We'll have to beat my thoughts.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yeah no, no, no, because you know what's wild about that story.
There's so many questions right in questions. Most of your
questions are dirty question no no, no, no no. But there's
a misconceptsion, like Dave conceptsion, there's a misconception he the
guy that married the conjoined twins.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Only married one of them. Was that possible? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
That's why I will save it for the Bonus podcast.
Plus we'll talk about the fight and other nonsense. So
please follow Covino and Rich Revenue, stream your podcast and
join us on the Bonus one live from Vegas.
Speaker 2 (31:46):

Godzilla kan the New Empire I'm here and has a
great plot. And if you like Millie Bobby Brown, you

Speaker 3 (35:32):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
I saw pictures of Ernie Hudson this week from The Ghostbusters.
He's seventy eight years old and he shreded. He looks
better now than he did in the eighties. It inspired
me to watch the new Ghostbusters Frozen Empire.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
I' he's rep he looks like he could be indri
Zelpa's brother.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
It's crazy.

So again, you got Godzilla Kung the New Empire, you
got Ghostbusters, Frozen Empire. And of course I'll be watching
the Yankees because baseball's back, but I'm watching the Fight Man.

on Prime.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
All right, there's a movie.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Oh by the way, Rich you know, this is the
first fight that Prime's doing, so more reason to watch.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Yeah, no, I'll listen. We'll be here, but you'll be
watching BBC on Prime. Now, there's a movie that I watched.
I want to recommend to everyone. It is creepy, weird,
the twist and turns and craziness. Mel Gibson, this is
a movie that's like two years old. It's trending on Netflix.
It's called on the Line. He plays a radio host.
(36:33):
What and a crazy listener starts terrorizing interesting.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Something that you don't want to know exactly, but it
is wild and you don't rich I don't need to
watch it.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
I lived it.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
No, but I want you to watch it because Danny
j You and spot coming from the producer background, are
gonna hate the continuity of this movie because they do
so many things wrong.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
But it's a great movie. It's a great movie.
Speaker 4 (36:57):
But like you know, like little things dandy, like, that's.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Not how ah, that's not how a studio is.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
That's not how but.
Speaker 8 (37:03):
What commercials whenever they feel like and then they walk
away for twenty minutes mel Gift come back when they
feel like trending.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
It's a creepy thriller with no joke, too crazy twists.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
All right, cool, that's on what on Netflix?
Speaker 4 (37:15):
That's on Netflix, all right, and on HBO.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Max Kirby Enthusiasm only has a couple episodes left, So
if you're not all on board with Curb, it's only
getting better.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
About a readjusting anything with the death of Richard Lewis
or no, he was in last week's episode. Okay, so
they had them all in the can as he was.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
In last week's episode trying to buy a used Mercedes
from Steve Bouchebi.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Did they do a little like in Memory in the
beginning of the episode. That's so sad.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
But yeah, Richard Lewis is still in the episodes, and
last week's episode a cameo from Conan O'Brien.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
So they're breaking out all the big stars.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
That's great for the.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Last couple episodes. Okay, cool, and I.

the Sweet sixteen opening weekend of baseball.
Speaker 8 (37:57):
Really excited for Illinois and Yukon, two most high powered
offenses in America going at it, and then number six
Clemson against number four Alabama traditionally football schools. Yeah, I
don't think too many people had these two in their bracket.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
If you did, I think I see you. I think
I did. Danny Yeah, yeah, he's a genius.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
You know, as far as women hoops goes you we
were talking about kate Len Clark, you could join the
Big three.

Goodness see him. What a great pleasure to be here.
Thank you for the ovation. I'm sure that the you
guys are sitting down, But those other people I heard there,
they were there.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
They were out of their seats, no question.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
You know, Jim, we.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Talked you about boxing so much last time. I had
a couple questions for you based on some of the
other stuff you've done TV appearances, cameos and movies. Is
that a thrill for you? Because I just saw that
you were at Blades of Glory with Will Ferrell.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
You know, I've done seventeen movies SA And one of
the things I say to young people trying to get
into this business, if you want to be a sports
commentator and you want to appear in movies, do boxing
because there are there are many more boxing movies than
based on any other sport. Why is that enclosed space?
(02:45):
Relatively small space, only two competitors facing each other face
to face, highly personal kind of conflict and intensity. You
don't have to go through all the technical challenges of
shooting a football game or a baseball game or basketball game.
Boxing is the movie sport.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
And boxing has the most colorful backstories. Yeah, when it comes.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Out absolutely and it's all personal. Yeah, okay, it's everything.
Everything comes out of the content of the human being, right,
you know it's not you know that the end of
the story isn't that you're six seven and two hundred
and eighty five pounds and can bench press for fifty
The end of the story.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Is who are you inside?
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Because that's really what shows up in a fight in
in a boxing match. And that's why directors and writers
go to boxing, and that's why I was in seventeen
different movies.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Let me give you a couple, Balboa, Southball, Creed Grudge Match,
and I mentioned Blades of Glory and a show that
we watched.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
You were on Eastbound and Down. Yes, I have Kenny Powers.
I was Dandy McBride, that guy's he's been on our show,
funny dude.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Huh Yeah, Well that was was that HBO? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yeah, And well that's the reason I was on it, Okay,
because I was the HBO boxing guy, had an HBO identity,
and so they, oh, we want a sportscaster, we'll get Jim.
So that that helped too. The fact that it was
boxing and the fact that it was HBO.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Yeah, does that make you easier?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I was gonna ask that, Like, you've been part of
so many major events right under the bright lights millions
of people watching you. Do you feel a different pressure
when you're playing yourself in a movie or a show
like that, or feeling no pressure?
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Yeah, I'm privileged to be on the set.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, I'm shoulder to shoulder with the director.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
We're gonna do a voice over session together where we
sit together and talk about it and everything like that.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I'm I'm in the movie world, and and so. But
it's such a different piece.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
No pressure.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I feel like when you're calling.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
But when when he's calling a fight, he has to
be spontaneous and he's calling it as he sees it.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
When he's doing a movie, he has to know the lies.
He's got more skills than you apparently apparently say that.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Okay, you would say that, but in most of the
boxing situations, the directors opted for, Okay, let's not have
a script, Jim, just.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Do it all right, that's so cool.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
So, for instance, Ocean's eleven, I'm standing at ringside getting
ready to do the on camera for Oceans eleven with
Larry Merchant and the director famous director names escaped me
for the moment comes.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Out and he's holding the camera.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So Soberg soda Berg exactly right.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Soderberg arrives at ringside and he's holding the camera and
he says, okay, you guys ready.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
And I said, well, you haven't told us exactly what
you want.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
I want you to do an opening on camera for
Lennox Lewis and Vladimir Klitchko and it's Larry and me
just do it. And he holds the camera and he
shoots the thing and you know, we do it, go
through it and everything like that, and then he chooses
one and a half seconds to put into the movie.
But I'm in there, and the Ocean's eleven. And I
(05:49):
mentioned there were seventeen movies. Most of them are boxing.
Which one of You've got a list there? Which one
of my movies? Do you suppose has paid me the
most money?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Oh? You probably, You probably get a couple a couple
of bucks in the mail from I would say Creed.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I feel like airs a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
No, it's not a boxing yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
And and and uh, it plays all over the world
somewhere Manila, Jakarta, says Catchuwan. Tonight you can see Blades
of Glory. Blades Blades of Glory spits out a check
for me every quarter. It's better than almost any of
the other checks. Still to this day. And I'll never forget.
(06:31):
The day of the shoot, I was in my trailer.
We're shooting in Los Angeles at the Forum. I'm in
my trailer outside the forum.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
And the expert commentator is Scott Hamilton and uh and
Scotty shows up. He's been traveling somewhere. He's skating, doing exhibitions.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Whatever it is.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Bangs on my truck door. Who's there, Scott? Oh great, Scott,
come on in lamps. Have you have you read the script?
Do you have any idea what it is?
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Chad Michael Michaels, everyone's favorite figure skater.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
That's so funny, I said, Scott. I have read the script. Okay,
so I've got your back here.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
I know exactly what it is that we're doing, and
and I'll help you through it if you need it.
But I think we're gonna be fine. He says, what
exactly are we doing? I said, Scott.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
We are doing every bad gay figure skating joke in
the history of figure skating.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
That's amazing. He looks at me. It's a great movie,
by the way, it's still good.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
It's absolutely brilliant. He looks at me and thinks for
a second, and he says, Jim, there are no bad
gay figure skating jokes, just.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
A whole lot of gay figure skating jokes, and that's
the movie.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Exactly love it, Jim.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You know we're you know, get ready for two big
fights tomorrow. A whole car to fights and then in July.
I'm sure you've been asked a million times about Tyson
and Jake Paul.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
When you think back before we.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Get to these fights, ask a million times today, as I'd.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Imagine, do you remember, like I'm looking for to just
the idea of, like I wonder how this is going
to pan out? In your career watching boxing, calling box
what fight were you actually intrigue the most of, Like
how is this going.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
To pan out?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Like actual intrigue going into the fight?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Well, all of them.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
I mean I have a passion for boxing, okay, And
there were a lot of fights that the public didn't
know to care about, but I did know to care
about because of personal relationships and background and stuff like that.
You know, because I was personally close to both Lennox
Lewis and Mike Tyson, I had that kind of passionate
(08:30):
expectation about what's going to I think I did know
what was going to happen, but you know, I on
behalf of both of them.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I wanted to watch it play out. But generally speaking,
all of them.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
I mean, if you asked me, what fight stays in
my mind the most now that I'm away from it,
been away for years. Miguel Coto versus Antonio Margarito, we
watched a crime. We watched harve a felonious assault, and.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
He got his revenge.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
He could have been killed, and it still cracks me up.
I still get emotional because I love Miguel and I
can't believe what he went through that night.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
You know.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
So all of them mean something to me, and they
mean something.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Because this is not like other sports.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
This is an extremely personal face to face.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
You know, we share sweat, you taste.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Each other's blood, We you know, intermingle our breath, et cetera,
et cetera, not like.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
In any other sport.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
And what I say to fans and viewers, particularly the
ones who are uninitiated, is what you have to understand
is that boxing is about love and I shouldn't try
to get through this because it you know, it cracks
me up emotionally to talk about it. But I always
say to people, when you see two fighters go through
one of those twelve round.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Hell on Earth blood.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
And sweat fights where it looks like they're trying to
kill each other, what you don't realize is that through
all that they're.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Falling in love.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
And when you see them reach out and embrace and
fall into each other's arms at the end of the fight,
that's real.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
That's not fake. That's because now they have interacted in
such a way that they know each other better than.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Anybody else on earth. They know each other better than
their mothers, their wives, etcetera, etcetera. Again, they've tasted each
other's sweat and blood. They know every weakness and every
strength after those twelve rounds. So gaddy ward those kinds
of fights. You know, I can't speak rationally about those
(10:43):
kinds of experiences. And it's not like calling a football
game or a baseball game, or Olympic swimming or any
of the other things I've done. It's something much more
passionate and personal and emotional.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Hanging out with him. Lampley here on the Coveno and
Rich Show, five Sports Radio. Can we call you Lamps, Yeah, Lamps.
Lamps is here.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Everybody in the world can call me Lamps.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
When you're so emotionally connected to all these fighters in
these moments and these fights, and you called Mike Tyson fights,
and you watched him grow up and you've seen him
battle in the ring. Is there a part of you
that's in the ring, And are you concerned about him
being too old to be doing this and his legacy
and what he's in store for.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Of course, you know he's fifty seven years old.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
And Mike was my entry into boxing because I was
assigned to boxing at ABC Sports by an incoming new
division executive in nineteen eighty seven who wanted to get
rid of me. Whose basic impression of ABC Sports when
he arrived as the new division president was who was
Jim Lampley And why are we paying him all this money?
(11:46):
And how do I get rid of him? And he
he thought that because of my personal style or the
way I dressed or whatever, that I would not fit
in boxing and he could force me. He wanted me
to walk away from my contract, and he wanted to
force me out of the network.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Because you did so many other sports and you want
the boxing guy, and they.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Just didn't like me, okay.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
And he thought that if he put me on Mike
Tyson Fights, that the boxing fans wouldn't like me and
that would be a rejection and I'd be embarrassed, and
he could get me to leave ABC.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Sportow that's like an all time that's like an all
time backfighter. Yeah, like, look at where we are now,
that's wild.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
When I was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame,
did you give that guy a shout out of what
he was? The person I was thinking of when I
made that speech. But yes, it happened.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
It did.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
And and so when you talk about Mike, my first
five or six television network boxing exposures were Mike Fights
and Fights on ABC. I was the person who introduced
the nineteen year old Mike Tyson to the public. And
I went to the fighter meetings and I met him
and I called the fight in Tokyo, And you know,
(12:55):
we have a long and deep personal connection.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
He's a dear friend.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
So is he taking this serious in July?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Do you get the sense from from what you know
of Mike, because do you think he wouldn't do this
if he wasn't going to take it serious.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Well, I'm sure he's taking it seriously. I'm sure he
understands what's at stake. He's a very intelligent human being.
Mike's Mike's no dummy. Uh So he understands this on
on all the levels on which you could talk about it,
from personal to existential.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
He knows what he's doing.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
He knows that, Uh, there's something at stake here in
terms of, uh, the image of boxing, there's something at
stake here in terms of the evolution of electronic communication.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
But I think probably what's significant to him, which is
significant in my life too. I can't criticize him for
is that he's gonna make money. Yeah, and he's gonna
pay get paid a.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Not plaid the glory money, nothing like that, nothing like that.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
He won't be getting a check every quarter from yeah,
exactly for his how long, however long that's been. So
I think think that that's an answer. And anytime you're
watching somebody walk into the ring with gloves on against
somebody without experience, whatever, whatever the circumstances. He's fifty seven
(14:14):
years old, this is dangerous and it's dangerous for Jake
Paul too. Jake Paul's not a trained boxer. He could
train for five years and tell me I'm a trained boxer.
That's not what boxing is, Okay. Boxing is a life occupation.
Mike was a life fighter. He has instincts that will
never leave him and which nobody like Jake Paul could
(14:37):
ever develop.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
So We don't know what's going to happen.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
In that ring, and all I hope is that both
guys walk out healthy and Mike makes a ton of
money and it helps him in his life and makes
him happy and beyond that, I have no stake in
that enterprise.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Hey, Jim, I've.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Heard multiple people say, you know, power's the last thing
to go? Is that a cliche? Or do you believe
that is? Like does a guy like Mike Powell.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Does George Foreman when he knocked out Michael Moore.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
In his forties right for forty five?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Power is the last thing to go?
Speaker 4 (15:11):
So this is true?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
You believe George had not lost an ounce of his
power and he knew that and the whole You're gonna
go back and watch the fight.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
The whole fight.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Did he tell you last time you were here setting
up one shot?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
He said, he said he told you how it was
going to go down? Is that true? I feel like
you told us that he told you that you told
I think you told us that you had like I
think I'm the one who.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Markets the story.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
I don't know that George is marketing the story the
way I market the story. But you know, we were
working together as the commentary team on HBO, Larry and
George and I were calling the fights, so he's my
expert commentator. So that means that in the months prior
to his fight with Holyfield, I'm at crew meals, I'm
(15:56):
at fighter meetings, I'm at production meeting, I'm in a
variety of occasions where George and I are sitting together
shoulder shoulder, the table shoulder or shoulder.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Dinner sometimes stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
And there were not a lot of occasions, but maybe
three or four occasions when.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I pulled him aside into.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
A private circumstance and said, George, how are you going
to beat Mura? Okay, he's southpaw, he's a mover. Holy
Field couldn't find him, and he has better feet than
you do, etc. What's the plan?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
How are you going to find Moora?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
And he always said the same thing and in the
same words, Jim, you watch there will come a moment
late in the fight when he is going to come
and stand in front of me and let me knock
him out.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Now go look at the video. Yeah, amazing, right, it's uncanny.
You know, how did he know? How did he set
it up?
Speaker 5 (16:49):
I don't want to speculate on, you know, everything that
went down, but you know, it's very clear to me
that George had a plan. George knew that the plan
was likely to work. And George knocked Moor out exactly
the way he thought he would knock him out, and
pretty much at the moment that he thought he would
knock him out when Moor came and stood in front
of him and gave him that chance.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Jim Lambley hanging out with Cavino and rich and hence
the call, right, wasn't your call like he did?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Like, yeah, he did. It's the call. Is it happened,
happen there?
Speaker 4 (17:20):
It is, it happened, It.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Happened twice, it happened.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
It happened, And the call is the product of you know,
Joe Cortes is counting, and by the time Joe Cortes
has counted to five, it's abundantly clear. You know, I'm
fifteen eighteen feet away looking across the canvas, and it's
abundantly clear that more there's no movement. He's not getting up. Okay,
this is done, and now I've got five seconds to
(17:47):
think to myself. First, why didn't I come up a
line for this. Why did I not believe what George
told me? Why have I prepared nothing for all of this?
And what am I going to say? And the next
thing I think is those conversations with George at crew
meals and at dinner, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
So what I say, it happened, it happened is.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Actually sort of an answer to George and like, you
told me this what happens to me?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
And oh my god, you made it happen. It happened.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
And by the way, it's purely spontaneous. It has no
prep whatsoever. It's my most memorable call ever in boxing.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Thanks for sharing the moment, man, it's a great story.
It's a great moment. Jim Lampley's here on the Covino
and Rich Show. And what I love about you and
just talking to you is so evident that you're speaking
from the.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Heart and all these things meant so much.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
You mean because I'm crying, No, not at all, man,
because I know you have such a passion for it, right,
I have a tremendous passion. How do you feel when
you hear other sports commentators and broadcasters just going for
the hot take, and you think to yourself, because we
live in a hot take culture, like there's no way
this person really feels that they're just saying that to
get a reaction.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
I don't ctique or really pay much attention to what
other sports commentators do unless they are people whom I
know to be great. You know, if I could hear
one more time Al Michaels.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Or Vin Scully call a baseball game, what a.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Treasure that would be, because you know that they are,
to me, the two greatest television baseball broadcasters of all time.
Al Michaels does a wonderful job with football, but do
I associate him with that the way I do with baseball? No,
Baseball was his identity sport, So I pay attention to
those kinds of things. I listen to boxing commentators when
(19:40):
they're calling fights. I'll be listening to at some point
Malrow on Amazon, but of course a lot of the
Amazon fights, I'll be there doing PPV dot com, so
I won't be hearing what he says at that particular time.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I'm gonna am I gonna go back and listen later.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
No, I'm not that. What's the hardest stat the call?
Is there the hardest sport to call?
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Where you just oh, I think baseball is the most
challenging sport to call, because I mean, and particularly if
you go back and listen to the way Scully or
Al did it alone on radio and never had the
privilege of hearing Red Barber or Mel Allen alone on radio.
But all of them worked without expert commentators on radio.
And if you do that right, you're managing both teams.
(20:24):
You are describing both teams organizational approaches and farm systems.
There's so much detailed knowledge that goes into that. And oh,
by the way, at some point you're bringing it down
to the most fundamental elements. Two in one count, runner
on first, one out, and you're continually keeping the audience
(20:44):
in that moment. So it's really it's the best college
education sport for broadcasters. I only did it for a
very short period of time in the eighties. I did
the B game when Al was doing the A game
on ABC Sports, which.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I couldn't shine his shoes. But at the end of the.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Day, uh yeah, it's still very meaningful to me to
listen and pay attention to how people call games.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Jim, you're returning to the ring co hosting the.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Popular dot com live be question TPV docs speaking speaking
of broadcast.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Futialism, putilism, victory.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
There you go, speaking of broadcasters.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Jim, you know we're on Fox Sports Radio, so we
work with Dan Patrick. Do people say you give Dan
Patrick vibes? Or does he give Jim Lampley vibes? And
can you kick his ass?
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (21:33):
I back in the day when I was still prominent
and you know, doing network stuff NBC, ABC and stuff
like that, and Dan was coming along, I had probably, oh,
I don't know, one hundred misidentifications really yeah, oh I
(21:54):
know that. Boys you're Dan Patrick or hey, mister Patrick,
can I have your autograph?
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Stuff like that?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
And it's funny because you guys are cut from the
same clock.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
A very silly guy.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Well, you know, I'd always say, look, I'm a Dan
Patrick fan, but I'm not Dan Patrick. That is that
is somebody else. Whether whether the same thing ever happened
to him, I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I'm sure it has. Yeah, we got it.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Next time I see, I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Be like, seems likely just about do that for me?
Will we will?
Speaker 2 (22:21):

We've all used different tools.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer and Mental Wealth podcast

Speaker 1 (23:54):
All right, we're live live from Mgmcoo and Vegues for
Prime Videos, PBC and the tire rack dot Com studio.
And just like in basketball, a successful game plan starts
with the right players. The team at Tractor Supply brings
to hustle and heart and that's what really sets them apart.
(24:15):
So lace up your sneakers and make the winning play
by heading to your local Tractor Supply store today.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
And again, thank you everyone here at MGM Resorts International
for hosting us this weekend. And Cavin, I have a
couple thoughts jumping around this big head of mine number one,
but you do have a big giant melon number one
as you do talk about basketball and March badness. Just
to show you how you don't need to know a
thing sometimes to win, and sometimes the people that know
(24:41):
everything don't.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Cavino is currently.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
In second place in the Fox Sports Radio Bracket Challenge.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Like above, Plexico burs right, yeah, Jasetew.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
You're a Bubbs Jonas here no, uh, Jason Smith.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Oh, Jason Smith. It's right. You know, sometimes.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Maybe you just know more than people think, or you
just guessed on a bracket, or maybe I'm just more
knowledgeable than you give me credit for.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
I'm gonna I'm gonna go with uh.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
I'll go with that.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Okay here, geeuz, all right, there's so enjoy the madness,
and I hope you're enjoying this show.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Man.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
We're live in Vegas for the Big Fight this weekend.
Tim Zoofandora, Rollie Romero, who was on the show. We
started our show with Roly Romero, if you missed it
catching on the podcast and pit Bull Cruise.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
You know, it's funny to be if you said if
you miss Roly it the way we had a conversation
with Jim Lampley, Yeah, versus our conversation with Roly Ramiro.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
You know what it's like.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
It's like, imagine if it was the nineties or two thousands,
and you went speed dating and you had two drastically
different conversations with two different people, not that they were both.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
One was good and one was bad. It just people
are so different.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I hate to paint in such broad strokes, Rich, but
you have a guy who's older, he's a professional broadcaster,
he's sitting here speaking from wisdom and experience. Right. Rollie
Romero is a young dude. He's in his twenties, and
I feel like a lot of those young dudes.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Are just like that.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
We've interviewed Ryan Garcia.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
You know they're the same, They're like the same way,
but you know, it's just the way they are.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
I don't know another way to.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Put fighters make me feel Danny like I have an
attention span, right, And.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
I'm saying it's it's a generational difference.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Of course, you know, there's a there're different people and
they do different things.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I get it.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
There was a huge crowd outside for that left from
the way in right as we were about to start
on the air, and people were stopping trying to take
photos with Roli. And he was so funny because he
would take a quick photo and then he was telling everyone,
I gotta go pee, I have to go to the bathroom.
Let me go to the bathroom. I'll come back for
more photos. And he was bouncing and jumping as he
(26:45):
was talking.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
He's young fans. Yeah, there were hundreds.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Hundreds of his fans out there. You know.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I wish I could think of another example on the spot. Hey, spot,
maybe you can think of an example on the spot.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Danny G. Cavino, times you fell in love love with
something by.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Accident, because I feel like when Jim Lampley tells the
story about how as almost like an f you and
a punishment back in the day, ABC's like, all right, Jim,
we're gonna throw you on boxing.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Good luck. It's interesting, he says.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
I remember, like Jim Lampley was covering all different sports, swimming,
you know, random a dolls for us, Yeah, golf, and
all of a sudden, that dude, you know, and he
was like a smiley kind of broadcasting dude. Right, he's
calling fights. I remember that as a kid.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
And then he becomes the face of boxing broadcast and
he clearly you could hear the tears in his eyes.
The guy film, you can even hear them. You can
hear them, but he fell in love with boxing. And
I can't think of something at the top of my head,
but those times where sometimes you're introduced to something that
you never thought you'd fall in love with.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
It could be a woman, it could be.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
A place, a place, it could be a type of food,
it could it could be anything.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
It could be absolutely like where you just don't realize, like, wow,
I had no clue this is gonna be such a
big part of my life.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Two things.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I want to reiterate your point here too, not that
you didn't say it clearly, but not everybody heard Jim Lampley.
A lot of people joining us. Maybe they were trying
to sabotage him back in the day, putting him in boxing,
like no one's gonna like this guy in boxing.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
And they thought he would. They thought he would leave
his contract and peace out.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
It turns out not only did he fall in love
with boxing, but boxing loved him, the fans loved him,
and he had a stellar career.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
So again, very very interesting.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
To hear, just such a such an interesting thought that
you could fall in love with something.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
That was designed to sabotage you.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
You know, dB have a great weekend, But real quick.
How would you pronounce the capital of New York? You
said it's where the games are being played.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Albany.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah. I was gonna say, I feel like.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
You and I Covino, because if you're from New York,
you lean into like Albany. I like, I've heard you
and other people be like all but Albany such a
it's such a all coach.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
It's more of an Albany.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Oh yeah, he's right, you say it right though.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
You have a great weekend, man, heypy Easter, Dan, Yeah,
happy Easter. Enjoy the holiday, peeps, enjoy.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Thank you for hanging out with us, Cavino and Rich
live from the MGM Radio Row in Las Vegas for
Prime Videos, PBC and the tire Rack dot Com studio. Bowen,
Sam and Dan Byer back in La We're here in
Vegas for the big fight this weekend, Tim Zue Vandora again.
Tim Sue five foot seven Fandora six foot six, and
then Roly Romero versus Pitt Bull Cruise.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
That's gonna be fun.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
It's gonna be a fun fight to watch also just
visually because of the size difference.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
I wise, such interest and intrigue.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
And there was one more thing I want to say
before we moved on and talked about toamor Hamlin and
all these other things we gotta get to. I'm not
sure everybody remembered what Jim Lampley was referring to. Rich
You asked him about, you know, his heart beat in
the ring or something like that, and he used Antonio
Margarito versus Miguel Coto as.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
An example, and you saw how emotional he got there.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
He said, because these are people's lives, and they're fighting
for their lives. Antonio Margarito to refresh the memory of
a lot of people who may forgot fight fans.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Remember he was caught.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
With plaster in his gloves, and he just tore up
Miguel Coto, who was such a proud champion. He kept
fighting and fighting, and I mean Miguel Coto fought hard,
but Margarito just broke him down so bad. And it
turned out he was cheating the whole time, and which
was a terrible time.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
For terrible time.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
And he saw how emotional Lampley he got there, saying, hey,
and Miguel's my friend. And I was hard to watch,
but and I referenced it quickly Miguel Coto did get
his revenge and he did beat Margarito years later. So
a great interview if you missed it, Rolling Romero earlier
today and Jim Lampley, and because we're here in Vegas,
(30:49):
I just want to remind people too. We'll be doing
an extra podcast, the Bonus Podcast. You can hear it
tomorrow on Fox Sports Radio right really stream your broadcast.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
We'll be talking about the fight, who we think is
gonna win.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
And we got some other nonsense that we got to
get to, Like we're not gonna fit it into the
show today, but did you see that dude who married
a conjoined twin.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
I'm glad you brought this up because I feel like
your thoughts, but I want to save it for the podcast.
I want my thoughts to the Bonus Pod because I
feel like I will say.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
We'll have to beat my thoughts.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yeah no, no, no, because you know what's wild about that story.
There's so many questions right in questions. Most of your
questions are dirty question no no, no, no no. But there's
a misconceptsion, like Dave conceptsion, there's a misconception he the
guy that married the conjoined twins.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Only married one of them. Was that possible? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
That's why I will save it for the Bonus podcast.
Plus we'll talk about the fight and other nonsense. So
please follow Covino and Rich Revenue, stream your podcast and

Tank Davis, which is not too shabby, No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
He fights tomorrow again Tim zu Fandora and Roly Romero
versus pit Bull. But Roly what a clown, what a

Speaker 4 (34:15):
I guess honestly.
Speaker 2 (34:16):

Speaker 1 (35:32):
I saw pictures of Ernie Hudson this week from The Ghostbusters.
He's seventy eight years old and he shreded. He looks
better now than he did in the eighties. It inspired
me to watch the new Ghostbusters Frozen Empire.
Speaker 4 (35:44):

Zelpa's brother.

first fight that Prime's doing, so more reason to watch.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Yeah, no, I'll listen. We'll be here, but you'll be
watching BBC on Prime. Now, there's a movie that I watched.
I want to recommend to everyone. It is creepy, weird,
the twist and turns and craziness. Mel Gibson, this is
a movie that's like two years old. It's trending on Netflix.
It's called on the Line. He plays a radio host.
(36:33):
What and a crazy listener starts terrorizing interesting.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Something that you don't want to know exactly, but it
is wild and you don't rich I don't need to
watch it.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
I lived it.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
No, but I want you to watch it because Danny
j You and spot coming from the producer background, are
gonna hate the continuity of this movie because they do
so many things wrong.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
But it's a great movie. It's a great movie.
Speaker 4 (36:57):
But like you know, like little things dandy, like, that's.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Not how ah, that's not how a studio is.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
That's not how but.
Speaker 8 (37:03):
What commercials whenever they feel like and then they walk
away for twenty minutes mel Gift come back when they
feel like trending.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
It's a creepy thriller with no joke, too crazy twists.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
All right, cool, that's on what on Netflix?
Speaker 4 (37:15):
That's on Netflix, all right, and on HBO.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Max Kirby Enthusiasm only has a couple episodes left, So

getting better.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
About a readjusting anything with the death of Richard Lewis

they had them all in the can as he was.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
In last week's episode trying to buy a used Mercedes
from Steve Bouchebi.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Did they do a little like in Memory in the
beginning of the episode. That's so sad.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
But yeah, Richard Lewis is still in the episodes, and
last week's episode a cameo from Conan O'Brien.

I did. Danny Yeah, yeah, he's a genius.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
