This week from Episode 14 of the Announcer Schedules Podcast, Mike Gill and Phil de Montmollin welcome Hall of Famer Barry Tompkins of Showtime to talk about his illustrious career that includes some of the biggest moments in boxing history, a part in Rocky IV and big-time college basketball, amongst a plethora of other assignments. Highlights from the conversation with the four-time Emmy winner include his origin story, an amazing account of the Arguello-Pryor fight in 1982, and what it was like behind-the-scenes for the production of Rocky IV.
Tompkins is now an amazing 82 years old, yet still one of the premier boxing announcers going. And, he'll be on the live play by play of Showtime's "ShoBox" series fights in Atlantic City on Friday night.
