Ring Announcers I've added

Harry Balogh

John Addie

Joe Humphries

All 3 are considered must have announcers in my book. Between the 3 of them they developed the way that fighters are announced. If anybody has others to put in there that would be good too. Helps with the color.

You might want to add Billy Jordan a turn of the last century ring announcer.

As for refs and corner men, I may have missed them, but I didn't see Eugene Corri, Charlie Eyton, or Ed Graney; likely the three most popular referees of the early twentieth century. I also haven't spotted "Doc" Kearns ready to work a corner. Is Jimmy Johnston, Jack Hurkey or Johnny Buckley in that group? How about Tom O'Rourke, Harry Pollock, or Billy McCarney (Luther McCarty's chief second)?

Thanks for the good info Cap. I already added Graney and Snowey Baker. I added Billy Tait. Ollie Peccord. For Cornermen I added Willie Reddish, I added Cutman Peewee Beal. Also trainer Teddy McWhorter. I read the story of the Fist which had some great info on old time trainers , refs, fighters etc.

You have to consider Amy Hayes. She couldn't announce a Pop Warner Football game, but she's a lot nicer to look at than Jimmy Lennon Jr.

Maybe she can stand in the middle of the ring while Buffer or Lennon do a voice over from the press box.
