Teddy Atlas is a jackass.

I like Atlas cause hes always for the fighters. Anyone who saw the Augustus-Burton fight a couple years ago knows Atlas is not afraid to speak his mind if a fighter is being treated unfairly, or should not be in the ring or whatever. Not a lot of comentators whould go to the legnths Teddy goes so I give him credit.

Well said.

Agreed. I remember that. Didnt the announcer call it wrong? (MD when it should of been SD )

Anyways, CC BoomBoom

It was a robbery and Teddy said it was a robbery. Agustus avenged the "defeat" by brutal ko some time later.

I wonder if theres any footage on Youtube... Basically, there was more to it than that

referee: Dan Kelley | judge: Robert Paganelli 90-99 | judge: Ed Mosley 92-97 | judge: Jake (Jack) Richards 98-94 ~
Augustus penalized one point in 8th for spinning himself out of a clinch.

Richards was the only judge who had a pulse that night. Kelley should have been suspended. It was robbery in plain sight as Agustus whipped Burton's ass throughout the fight. What Kelley was doing was preventing Augustus from fighting his kind of unorthadox fight. It was a hometown decision. Atlas called it right. Teddy can be a real ass-h--- in person (not very fan friendly...kind of going Hollywood), but he can break a fight down better than anyone I have ever seen and he is pro-boxer, one of the few announcers who is willing to talk about reform. He gets my props for that, even though he does not respond to my emails. 99% of the boxing personalities I know do, but not Teddy.
