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.







Do you talk to Larry Merchant through email?? I would like to email him....

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 a** 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 a**-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.
