Communication in Boxing
By Robert Brizel, Real Combat Media Correspondent
Boxing today is not like boxing of yesterday. Gone are the days of radio commentators describing boxing events blow by blow, and reporters sending telegrams. Gone is the huge boom microphone lowered from above the center of the ring in major boxing contests. The analog era has gone with the wind, and boxing fighters, fans, trainers and timekeepers alike have seen the digital technology era create an array of changes which have redefined the sport of boxing.
As Harold Lederman and David Diamante attest to in the photo above, today’s top boxing personalities must be high technological personalities. Whether a reporter sending computer text from Fight News to BoxRec, whether a television sports commentator telephoning in a fight result, or an announcer communicating outside of the ring with a wireless microphone, the new technology is here. CompuBox counts the punches, and MakeFight and FightFax help make the matches in the ‘new school’ way of doing things. The Ring’s annual boxing encyclopedia of fights died when the computer was invented with internet, and BoxRec followed online.
The sport of boxing is in a rave new world. For those who may not know, ring announcer David Diamante (pictured above) is also the voice of the new NBC Sports Network’s new morning highlight show ‘The Voice’. The title is appropriate because all over the world in the sport of boxing, voices are communicating in newer and faster ways, getting their messages out and being heard. Fiber Optic technology, still in the process of development and refinement, may soon forever alter the way and the speed of global and interstellar communications. That, my friends, is progress.
