"MY GOD! He's won the title back at thirrrty-two!"
A lot of us sports fans grew up on Arry's commentary,I think he was an absolute pleasure.
He joked his epitaph would read...'They've finally stopped him talking' But it should be... 'He really bloody well knew his onions'
RIP Arry Carpenter.
What a great bloke, one of the great commentry voices along with Murray Walker.
(Sorry the picture is from the daily facist, it's the best one I could find!)

He was dead embarrassed about that, wasn't he? Felt he'd 'lost his cool' during the bout.
RIP Arry.

He was just saying what the whole nation was thinking at that exact point though. Which is why he was so popular. Didn't realise he was the main golf anchor on the BBC for years too. Saw that on the news last night.
Sad loss, got loads of old classic bouts with Harry as the commentator, heart on his sleeve with the Bruno fight, but as G says, we were all thinking exactly the same, one more solid punch from Bruno could well have caused the biggest heavyweight upset in years.
RIP
