Teddy Atlas is a jackass.

That pretty much covers all his commentary.

I love Teddy Atlas, he is my favorite commentator in all of boxing. He kind of reminds me of Don Cherry, if anyone knows who that is.

He has ZERO personality, and is possibly (along with Steve Farhood) the worst commentator in the history of boxing. I forget the exact fight, but one of his shining (sickening ;)) moments was when some guy was getting beat up in a fight pretty bad and Teddy (ever the drama queen) gets up and starts screaming "Stop the fight, Stop the fight!!!!" at the top of his lungs to the ref.

I don't need to start on his stupid a** analogies because many other members have brought these up before on other threads on here.

As far as his scoring of rounds........................



This is where Teddy's foolishness is unmatched.

I've seen him on many occasions score 10-9 rounds where he gives the guy that he mentioned he liked before the match even started a 10 even though he got knocked down. I swear I've even seen him score 8-7 rounds where there weren't any knockdowns. Let's not forget the Teddy Atlas trademark 10-10 rounds when the rounds weren't even close.

I've heard people say he is unbiased and that he speaks nothing but the truth. I have no idea where people would ever see that. He is one of the most biased announcers I've ever seen. If he picks a guy before a fight, that just so happens to be the guy who wins rounds even though he got knocked down with their work rate, chin, poise, etc. etc. ::**




I guess I'm done for now, but I may come back to modify this thread as I remember more things that make Teddy Atlas such a fool.

Not disputing you or anything, but can you site some examples?

:lolololol: :coolclick: #1007

I like Atlas cause hes always for the fighters. Anyone who saw the Augustus-Burton fight a couple years ago knows Atlas is not afraid to speak his mind if a fighter is being treated unfairly, or should not be in the ring or whatever. Not a lot of comentators whould go to the legnths Teddy goes so I give him credit.

all &all,teddys ok.I respect him for his stance for fighters and there wellbeing,although sometimes he comes off really "shortbus-ish" (simple for all of u non yanks).He really does tell it like it is,No bulls#@t.I use to love the spats he and max kellerman would get into on the air.Yeh,teddy can sometimes sound like he has a mouth full of marbles & peanutbutter (not as bad as pretty boys daddy) and can be very hard to listen to. Have you ever noticed between rounds,when they cut back from commercials,the poor guy is hacking and coughing so loud?Is he sick,sorry teddy but get this man some cough syrup.

I noticed he was coughing bad last week. He is either chocking on the marbles or the peanut butter.

He may be an a decent guy but Teddy's annoying as all hell, I've been saying that for a long time.

The repetition, he just never shuts up about the same things. Never stops talking and considering that its amazing how little he actually says, its just the shame shit over and over.

Its always the same things. Keep your left hand up for gods sake, you've got to raise it slightly to get it in position to jab. This guy has more options, he can fight on the inside or the outside. This guy's taller, he should be jabbing more and fighting on the outside-it doesn't really matter if the guy's a better inside fighter than an outside fighter.

I agree though with whoever that said it, Tessitore doesn't help. Bob Papa was good for them, much better than Tessitore.

Let's see if Teddy reinforces this thread tonight. FNF should be on already, but ESPN has decided that it is more important to televise the NASCAR drivers post race interviews.

FNF got some good guests tonight.

So far Ted is not being a jackass yet.

Steve Farhood is without a doubt the worse commentator in the history of commentating. His nasal NYC whining voice makes fingernails scratching across a blackboard sound good. He claims he is a historian, but doesn't know very much about anything before 1990. His facial gyrations are weird. He calculates KO percentages wrongly. But what really bothers me is that he motor-mouths throurgh a fight nonstop thus making the mute button most compelling. Asisde from that, he is not too bad. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Anyone with 1,000 posts go to "our forum about Bilbo"
