Don Dunphy (July 5, 1908-July 22, 1998)
Hall of Fame boxing announcer

"In the second fight of this summer's [boxing broadcast] series, middleweight Mike Rossman gave an excellent example of the steadfast faith that audiences have in Dunphy. Rossman came out for the sevent round against Mike Nixon. 'Until I heard Mr. Dunphy say it while broadcasting,' Rossman said later, 'I didn't realize I was bleeding.' "
—William Leggett, Sports Illustrated, September 8, 1975
