    Teddy is a good commentator, he gets excited a few times, but he can also stay relaxed as well. I don't think he's as over the top as Lampley can be. He also is a bit more fair to fighters than Sugar or Merchant are. I know Sugar did more writing than commentary but still he could be VERY harsh.

    I do think on the whole boing writers & commentators can be responsible for expecting too much especially if the styles of the fighters do't mesh. They can also be a bit prone to hyperbole if a fighter does poorly or a fight is judged poorly. sometimes that's needed but other times when you can be positive about the sport I think you should be. If an underdog is beating a heavy favorite say what the underdog is doing well and don't harp on everything wrong thatthe favorite has done, it takes away from watching the fight and from the guy winning the fight.

    Well..... love him or hate him... Teddy looks the part. He's got that weird scar running down the length of his face.... his face is weirdly asymmetrical, with sort of a lazy eye and generally a face only a mother could love. Then he's got this bad boy, wise guy accent (Jersey?), which completes the picture.

    Only time he ruined that picture was when he was frolicking in a hotel pool with... Tessitore, was it?
    That was disturbingly gay, but what the hell.

    I'm telling you, the guy's a walking caricature.

    That weird scar is from getting in a street fight where someone pulled a knife and slashed him all the way down his face requiring 400 stitches to repair.

    Atlas also served 6 months in Riker's Island, the most dangerous jail in the United States, along with L.A. County.

    He's a bad ass.

    And his Mom was a Miss America contestant. No joke. Unfortunately, he did not inherit her good looks

    I totally respect a paid commentator to go out on live TV and break down why corruption in boxing officials happen, how the machination of promoters and the compliance of the commissions. I respect a man who goes ape shit when he sees a fighter get robbed in front of his face...looking at you HBO fuck ups..looking at you.
