You Gotta Love Teddy Atlas......

99% of the time I ignore the announcers unless it is Merchant because Larry Comes out with some S***.......

Teddy is pure entertainment....Everything he says is an analogy.....and he uses the craziest shit.....After someone elses states an opinion he even turns their opinion into an anology....
Like he was smoking up before the show.....

Brian Kenny---Johnson needs to use his jab more against Stevens the slower fighter.

Teddy Atlas--So what you are trying to say Brian is Johnson should play cat and mouse with Stevens using his jab like a trap and baiting in Stevens with some cheese once Stevens is full from eating cheese he should lure him into his trap and close it because He is quicker then the mouse....Is That what you were trying to say??.....

Just off the wall.............Please someone tell me you have noticed this about Teddy before

I've certainly noticed and have posted a few times on the topic.

Here's one entitled 'Is Teddy Atlas the next Larry Merchant?'

I also ran a poll a couple months back asking members to guess which theme for his analogy Atlas would use for the upcoming weekend.

Unfortunately I can't find it now, which is a shame, as like all my posts it was wildly entertaining and a great read :P

You know what now that you put the link up...I remember reading that when it was posted.....

I must go now....I have been entertained enough by your post :D

Ah I found my poll! There's still time to vote!

Actually the fight was months ago but it can it be a week by week thing, there's still plenty of new analogies to come from Teddy yet 8)

I'm just waiting for Atlas to tell Kenny that "if you take cranberries and stew them in applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does" ;D

So what you're saying Zab is that: If the glass is half-empty and you're that glass, then to fill it all the way up you have to systematically turn your opponent, the half-full glass, slowly but surely in the direction you need to get his water in your glass, so he's empty and runs out of water. And when you do that, your glass is full and you take home the win from the squared circle. Right???

Something like that. I love Teddy

I tell everyone that if they really want to see an HONEST announcer, they have to watch Atlas for two reasons:

1. No matter who is losing, he gives a good analogy of what it would take to get back in the fight.
2. He doesn't automatically say a single good punch landed at the end of a round will win the round for the favored fighter.

Showtime has the worst announcers, unless the favored fighter is absolutely without any doubt getting his butt handed to him, they will always talk about how good he is doing.

HBO comes in at a close second to last for the same reason. Tell me if this doesn't sound fairly familiar:

Heh, heh, heh, OK Jim, I of course have the favored fighter up by almost every round due to the fact I apparently watch a completely different f****ng fight than anyone else.

One last thing, I've always known Teddy to use analogies however within the past year, it has gotten way out of hand. He has got to stop!

I love Teddy Atlas, he's like the punchy Yoda of boxing.
His book was good too.

Anyone who threatens Tyson with a Shooter is alright in my book :)
Teddy's fight plan is class!

I like Teddy Atlas (even though he's an ugly Moe Sizlac looking mofo)! Hes the classic straight shooter, theres no bullshit from him. I remember him commentating on an early Butterbean fight where his opponent was going down from phantom punches and it looked like a terrible work. Teddy was angry as hell and spazzed out, ridiculing both the guys and picking apart the replays to expose the bullshit. Its like Teddy loves boxing so much he was furious when someone would try to disgrace it like that.

He odes call it like it is....Not in a bad way where he is biased either,,,,,Just how it happens...Wish they all did that.....



Yeah man I was suprised I thought I would get a bunch of people tearing ol Teddy up....Glad to see I am not the only one who gets a kick out of Teddy......

Even though at times after hearing him my mind is like :hypnotized: :hypnodisk:...Trying to decifer all him ramblings....I take him over 98% of the other guys....

CC to everyone...

Yeah Teddy's great and spot on with his stuff; he is an expert at what he talks about. But sometimes that analogy stuff leaves me dehydrated trying to work it out. A few months ago he made a courtroom with exhibits a,b, and c analogy with lawyers and s#it. I had the proverbial deer in the headlight look trying to figure out what the #### he was saying. Sometimes I miss the fight trying to figure it out ::** Joe Tessitore always gets that look like he's about to start laughing when Teddy starts rambling. What great jobs!!

By the way, CC Mr. Kahn ;)

Just once though,Id love for Tessitore to say "Teddy you dont need to yell so much,we gave you a microphone for chrissakes" ;D

:lol: Teddy is a legend

Yeah no doubt, he gets all spastic at times. The Ward/Augustus fight Teddy was losing it, but then again so was I,lol. He is very passionate though. I don't know why they don't have Friday Night Fights or fights period all through the year, it's very annoying. I wish they had just a boxing channel dammit'.

I remember just before the Contender final (the first one i think). Atlas was showing how both fighters could win. He was throwing light punches at Alfonso Gomez who was helping with the demonstration. Teddy got a bit carried away and started hitting harder. Alfonso's face was so shocked. ;D

I barely heard Teddy last night during the Harris/Ortiz fight,I was too busy screaming,"Will you keep up your damned hands" and "Stop messing with your freaking trunks"

His children must hate that shit.....throughout thier lives i bet they've heard every analogy out there...

I remember a few years back when a BS decision was read. Teddy was screaming into the mic "This is wrong, This is wrong". The mic started clipping out he was yelling so loud.
