Teddy Atlas is a jackass.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

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.

[Lords Gym]

Teddy also held a loaded gun to Tyson's head and then pulled the trigger shooting the ground next to him

He always gives long winded responses to simple questions. Like when he made his picks on cotto-mosley, pac-barrera II, etc he gave pointless long rambling anecdotes and wouldve gotten completely off topic had Brian Kenny not been there to drag him in. I like Brian Kenny.

I think Joe Tessitore's job is to sit and nod while staring admirably at teddy...he never disagrees, just tries to keep teddy's increasingly senile ramblings in check.

For the most part I think Atlas is alright, but there is a little to much "I have seen more than you can imagine and my words are gold" mentality.

How have you been mate? I finally watched that movie ( Dead Man ) ! loved it ! the Indaian was a great character .

As for Teddy and Joe,, from what I have seen, I think they do very good job.. they have a nice chemistry I like to hear announcers that work with each other ( backing the other statements and so forth. makes for a smooth presentation to the listener.
Teddy knows boxing simple as that.. why would Joe or anyone else argue one of Atlas's points ? Teddy speaks from experience.. what you want to do when he speaks is be silent , simply listen and soak up the knowledge that is being offered . Anyway that’s my view.

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.

cc back my friend Like Ted said it was a bad robbery and Teddy called out the officials after the fight and actually took some action i believe against the michigan boxing commision (at least I think that is where it was held). Anyways, the worst robbery I recall ever seeing. But your right it was also annonced wrong.

Hey Lords, how goes friend?

Good points on Atlas, I watched him on the finale of FNF and thought he did a very good job. I think was overly critical...he does have off-nights every so often, but who doesnt.

Anyways LG, you got mail

Teddy has good passion but he's just an old trainer, he is very biased if he picks a fighter to win and sees they're struggling. I like his scorecards sometimes though, It's better than 10-9's all the time. It seems nowadays you have to pound your opponent into the ground to score a 10-6 round, yet when someone gets outboxed with ease and dominates a round but doesn't put his guy down it still gets scored as 10-9.

I was about to say the same thing. But a judge should never 'pick' a certain fighter that he wants to win. I hope so this is not what Atlas is doing.

[Thread Stealer]

I don't like Atlas.

He's a ridiculously overrated trainer who often embarrasses his fighters, maybe to bring attention to himself and how he is this supposed great motivator.

He also speaks up about the evils of boxing and is so quick to criticize when there's a mismatch, but had no problem putting his own fighter in mismatches on a number of occasions.
