Too many things to mentionOriginally Posted by El Gamo
In all seriousness, I don't doubt his boxing knowledge, I just can't stand him. By far my least favorite boxing announcer. Never, literally, never shuts up. And its always the same S***, every single fight he'll talk about the same things, how one boxer has more choices (can fight inside or outside), how it takes two to hold, silent agreements, how a fighter's not making the right choices. Not saying he's always wrong, he just never shuts about it, just says it over and over again, I remember one fight where a guy staggered the other guy and Atlas was still talking about how he was making the wrong choice by fighting on the inside, didn't even take a break from the monologue. I don't like watching fights with the sound off but I've had to start doing it lately on the ESPN2 fights.
Plus he's a horrible judge. He gives way too much credit for guys who are doing better than he expected them to do, gives rounds to guys who clearly lost them just cause they're A)doing better than he thought they would, or B)making the right choices, doesn't so much matter if he's landing more punches as long as he's making the right choices.
Most people seem to like him though. In fact Wacko's the only other person I know on here that can't stand him either.
