Teddy Atlas - WE ARE FIREMEN! Brilliant. Fact.

Funking hilarious

Would really want to have to listen to that bollocks between rounds?

What a pathetic show for the camera.....

[Fenster]

Lighten up ross. Bradley was probably thinking he's a fucking nutter.

[walrus]

At least he wasn't announcing the fight, when he's in the corner we only need to hear him for a short time.

[Gandalf]

Atlas is great, dont knock the man. He knows his boxing asides from the predictions thing.

Funking hilarious

Hilarious, annoying, staged for the camera, total BS, or what Bradley needs? I can see all around that pentagon, but the important question is how Bradley was reacting to that pep talk? You can see from Bradley"s wide eyes and the way he jumped up from the stool that he was eating it up!
Oh yeah, Bradley wanted to get in there and put out the Rios fire! Tim Bradley, team player and warrior!! IMO.

Thats not what a fighter should be thinking. He should have clear instruction on what he needs to be doing, just bare min um stuff because alot of stuff told to you between rounds you dont remember anyway.

I havent watched the fight bt from that im presumng Bradley had no threat in front of him so Atlas thought hed take the opportunity to show off because it was no where near a critical moment where his fighter needed instrction and he could have told him a nursery rhyme for the same amount of benefit.

Watch the fight sir, you'll see Teddy at his best, giving detailed instructions and a pep talk between rounds. Watch Bradley at the beginning of that 7th round, you'll wish there was more of Bradley's spirit in Fury. Relax, I'm just rattling your chain! You will be surprised at Bradley's reaction to that pep talk, without doubt!

Kind of a categorical imperative. That's not directed at anyone in particular but everyone.

It was a brilliant job by both tutor and student and the result speaks for itself. You certainly don't get any idea of how that brilliance manifested by a 40 second clip in one of the 2 or 3 round breaks where he got a tad animated. If anything, Teddy was controlled throughout. I watched it twice because the programming geniuses in Yukon have HBO starting an hour late. You know just to make sure the door mats don't miss their show.

People are already making broad conclusions about how bad Rios looked and ignoring completely how good of a job Tim did on making him look bad. I thought for sure he'd turn into Holyfield. Brandons little cry fest after the fight and retirement announcement changes nothing. Foreman did the same thing after Jimmy Young. Bradley fought a fight I thought he no longer had in him and Teddys corner talk was spot on until the stoppage.

Now that Khan has most likely lost the Manny fight by blowing his load in the press again(starting to make me think he does this on purpose) he can challenge Bradley since Kell is not yet worthy.

That is classic Teddy Atlas and I don't believe he stages anything. That is just who he is and that is who he has always been I'm sure he does the same s*** what he's by himself and no one is listening. I thought it was very motivational myself although it borders on ridiculous still it was a good analogy and really had an effect on Bradley as he jumped off his stool. Job well done if we didn't have Teddy Atlas what would we have

[Kirkland Laing]

Rios was fat and slow and getting slower by the round. There was no way he was suddenly going to come out guns blazing. A little bit of grandstanding by Teddy there. Never mind. Bradley did look really good so Teddy earned his money.

All things being equal, the bigger man wins.
All things not being equal, being bigger could get you the win.

Tim put on a masterful performance Saturday night but its somehow overshadowed by the fact that Rios looked bad ?
He looked bad because Tim put on a masterful performance.
It was the same Rios who had the luxury of using weight and having guys stand in front of him.
Nobody said he was slow or 20+ pounds heavier when he was winning.
Every time the better man wins there was something wrong with the loser.
Even the announcers sell out to that crap weekly.
His weight cheating came back and bit him in the ass because things were not equal skill wise and the speed difference was almost palatable just like in the Manny fight.
Bradley is an elite fighter that put on an elite performance against the exact same fighter that fought Alvarado, Manny and Chaves. He was never a world beater.

About two plus minutes into this- Teddy is humble like I've never seen. His (trust) conversation here shows the (other) side of Atlas

Love Teddy!

Love Teddy!

I think he would kick ass if he had a talk show. Jerry Springer couldn't touch him.
