Teddy Atlas - WE ARE FIREMEN! Brilliant. Fact.

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!!!

I like Teddy, always have! Is he annoying? Talk too much? Constantly repeat himself? Sure, but there is no way you can deny his knowledge of or passion for boxing.

I think it's the lights and sirens that Teddy loves. Police cars have them too.

I think it worked, Bradley looked ready to respond. Beyond all that fireman hype there was good instruction in the previous rounds. That was just the lil spark Bradley needed at that point to not get complacent. I thought it was good corner work.

I always liked his input to a certain degree but he had more confusing analogies than Doctor Phil. Sayings like ' You can take a man to the ocean but that doesn't mean he can put out a small Ethiopian campfire' . (I actually just made that up but am not far off here). Then I would just shake my head and do a double take. But I read his autobiography and it was very good and would recommend it personally. I do get a kick out of him and maybe the difference he is making in Bradley (if indeed he is) is all in Bradley's head. But if so that is all that really matters. Not crazy about how Bradley praises him so much pretty much crapping on Diaz without actually saying so.

I'm pretty sure it was the other way around unless I am misreading your post.

I watched the entire fight.....Bradley loves that kind of pump up talk. It's quite obvious that he thrives when he has someone in the corner giving him that kind of halftime "Win one for the Gipper" speech. And the style looks good on him....I like it. I am happy for Bradley and for Atlas that they have made their trainer/fighter relationship gel so quickly.
