Re: Starting to miss Teddy?
LOL..... the thing about Teddy is he carries the analogies too far. One minute he's comparing the boxers to a surfer waiting for the perfect wave..... then he goes off into a baseball analogy, comparing punches to pitches (low and away... high and inside). He even does non-sport analogies.... one time going into business and meetings and shit like that. And when he grabs on to an analogy, he'll milk it throughout the fight.
Tessitore must have a couple of drinks both before and after each fight.
Bless his patient soul....

^^ Don't forget the classic football one, "you don't throw the ball where the receiver is, you throw it where he's gonna be"
I love Teddy Atlas lol.

Re: Starting to miss Teddy?
I didn't even know he was missing?
I actually don't like watching ESPN FNF because they have Teddy as the main expert. Boxing deserves better than a guy like Atlas. FNF is the only show displaying our sport to the general public on basic channel.
I don't consider Atlas as an expert cause what are his accomplishments? For a guy who talks like him, what does he have behind him? Being a sidekick to MIke Tysons original trainer? Training a few heavyweights whom holds none of the garbage titles?
