Colorful former world champion Vinnie Pazienza and legendary sportscaster
Pazienza won world titles in two weight divisions, one coming after he beat
the odds by returning to the sport after suffering a broken neck in a car
accident. On this show Pazienza looks back on his fights with icons like
Roy Jones and Roberto Duran, talks about a near death experience after his
fight with Roger Mayweather and discusses what it took to come back from
the car accident injuries. He also revisits his heated three-fight rivalry
with Greg Haugen. In keeping with his reputation for candor he says at one
point of Haugen, “You know what, I still don’t like him.”
In an almost 50 year career Tim Ryan called 10 Olympic Games, announced all
major sports he NFL, did major tennis tournaments and announced over 300
world title fights. He talks in this interview about how he and CBS
broadcasting partner Gil Clancy forged a great relationship both on TV and
off. He also tells some great stories about locations visited in his career.
Al Bernstein said, “The show is one of my favorites. These are two very
different men, two very different interviews. What they share in common is
that they have stories to tell and each does it well in their own
distinctive style.”
