Re: Ten thoughts from the Brock-Ibragimov fight.
There are very few times a heavyweight fight is only ok to watch, they are usually great or they put you to sleep...I wondered how no one won by KO, I was only watching and I couldn't make it out of the first round.
Brock-Peter wouldn't be such a bad idea, couldn't be worse than that!
Timor as boring as he may be, he can still cash some checks as a journeyman, taking on any young fighters that think they can cut it.

Teddy Atlas -- Mucho Testosterone
Love the guy.
We've been speaking of commentators and the things they say, right? Well one of the most dead on remarks I have ever heard was when Larry Merchant described Lennox Lewis as 6 foot 7 inches of mediocrity. Hilarious.
Re: Ten thoughts from the Brock-Ibragimov fight.
Teddy Atlas is a punk...he is right on when he talks abotu safety but it's kind of odd coming from a guy who pulled a gun on a 13 year old boxer.
Kellerman is ok, he knows his history...I have no idea who the other guy is, Lewis is ok, a little too quiet at times.
The true boxing comentators were gone before Howard Cosell came in a brought his ignorance of the sport with him.

Teddy Atlas is unstable......but Kellerman is just to "giddy" for my taste. Lewis is fucking invisible......I would take big George or RJJ over Lewis anyday. I'll be real honest though and say that I still like the Merchant -Lampley combo minus Harold Ledderman.
I know that lampley says stupid things sometimes....but to me these guys are the best that's out there right now.
