A wonderful broadcaster and deeply knowledgeable about the sport, his distinctive voice and unflustered commentary style will be missed greatly by fight fans across the country.
Rest in peace, 'Arry.

First Bill McLaren, now Harry, a generation of great sports broadcasters is beginning to disappear. I'd be worried if I was Murray Walker.

So would I, as I'd be 86.
Anyway, here's a Harry Carpenter moment I liked. Muhammad Ali to Carpenter during a TV interview: ''I would like to say that you are not as dumb as you look, Harry''.
