Teddy is so cringe though dude lives his life like every scene is a movie. imagine him at 5:30am "this is not just any meal, ITS FUC*ING BREAKFAST. WE'RE THE EGGS AND BACON, THE SYRUP IS TRYING TO SLOW YOU DOWN! USE THE BISCUITS AND ROLL WITH IT!!!!!!!

[Fenster]

Brilliant.

The results speak for themselves. Teddy was in fact giving detailed instructions to Bradley, and making sure Tim was listening. More cornermen should do that. Most of the time whatever's said falls on deaf ears. That being said, it's pretty obvious Teddy knew he was on TV and Teddy's never known a camera he didn't like. He's usually on the announcer end, so he was well aware that he was "on stage". More power to him, though.

With Teddy you know what you're getting. He just gets all short circuited..wide eyes and partially drooling and once that happens you just know he is about to come out with some off the wall part comic book, part fortune cookie auctioneer and part pro wrestler In between the bluster and soap box its obvious he has an impact on Bradley. Shit I'd rather see cornermen try to be part of the show than some intrusive referee (unless its John Ruiz trainer norm stone) . It was a bit of a sidebar nod by Teddy to the first responders of N.Y, police and fire that he's done work with too, that and he loves FIRE TRUCKS!!!

can we nominate this for post of the fucking year please? Seriously.

Beyond fantastic post.

[Vendettos]

Bradley did look like he was getting fired up lol.

[El Kabong]

Some fighters need calm cool instructions, some need inspiration. The good trainers figure out what their fighter needs to hear and that's what they give them.


Teddy is always using metaphors to get points across, sometimes it can sound silly but he has solid reasoning behind it.

[Dia bando]

Atlas is a lunatic.

Rios was fat and slow and getting slower by the round. There was no way he was suddenly going to come out guns blazing. A little bit of grandstanding by Teddy there. Never mind. Bradley did look really good so Teddy earned his money.

All things being equal, the bigger man wins.
All things not being equal, being bigger could get you the win.

Tim put on a masterful performance Saturday night but its somehow overshadowed by the fact that Rios looked bad ?
He looked bad because Tim put on a masterful performance.
It was the same Rios who had the luxury of using weight and having guys stand in front of him.
Nobody said he was slow or 20+ pounds heavier when he was winning.
Every time the better man wins there was something wrong with the loser.
Even the announcers sell out to that crap weekly.
His weight cheating came back and bit him in the ass because things were not equal skill wise and the speed difference was almost palatable just like in the Manny fight.
Bradley is an elite fighter that put on an elite performance against the exact same fighter that fought Alvarado, Manny and Chaves. He was never a world beater.

Yes Bradley looked good and Rios has looked much better while looking like that before. But Saturday he looked old and slow and past it and the dude knows it himself, he retired in the ring after the fight!

That was inspiring and Bradley was psyched by it. If it works, keep it up.

Teddy has always been my favorite. Nothing like a good ol metaphor!
