Teddy Atlas & Norm Stone (John Ruiz's Trainer) were the best guys to listen to in between rounds... Haha Norman Stone was on another level

Teddy Atlas & Norm Stone (John Ruiz's Trainer) were the best guys to listen to in between rounds...

This thread is dedicated to one best speeches I have heard in between rounds in boxing history. God I love atlas the sport needs him in the corner hahahahahahaha. Am I the only one that was tapping my leg all out laughing at this point in the fight? Im a bradley and atlas fan so im eating this **** up i love it hahaha! watch Michael moorer / holyfield 1... Moorer is winning the fight & has one bad round & teddy calls the ref over to the corner & points & says do you want me to stop the fight? I'll stop it & ref walks away shaking his head

Good mention. I love the Iceman between rounds. Thank you, JSF! Appreciate the mention!! A couple things. The fire and the flame thing, thats the Cus D' Amato philosophy taught to him by Cus years ago...I know some of the guys who came up in the gym and era and they take Cus's teachings VERY seriously and to heart. To this day. The thing about trainers and fighters is this: We know the fighters on a much more personal level than just their boxing, the punches they throw...we know what motivates and reaches them. What may often sound funny or odd to the outsider makes perfect sense to the fighter in most cases. Its like having your own private language that only the two of you understand.

lmaoooooo Bradley's facial expression towards the end.

Bradley looked like he was dying in there, he just wanted to say stfu already bro, youre making us awkward on live TV

Teddy Atlas is mentally unstable for those of you who don't know. When Donny Lalonde fired him before his fight with Sugar Ray Leonard in 1988, Teddy was infuriated to discover that Lalonde stood to make millions off that fight alone. It was said that Teddy could have earned anywhere from 10 to 30% Lalonde's purse. So Atlas came up with a plan. He wanted to kill Lalonde. He bought a handgun and waited outside of Donny's apartment all night. When Donny came out Teddy planned on shooting him out of revenge. But Lalonde never came out since he wasn't home that night. Teddy later changed his mind about the whole thing. The man is not all there in the head.

If my house catches on fire, I'm not calling 911, I'm calling Teddy Atlas.

For me teddy's "We are fireman" speech eclipses Shakespeare's St Crispin's Day verse from Henry IV. It definitely firmed my loins. It was the stuff of boxing legend.

I'm surprised he didn't make any food references like he always does on ESPN. Listen ta me.. Dat guy is like a burrita but he's missin impawtant ingredients... Da hot sauce.. Da chedduh! Da jalapenas!! He don't have any maw! He fahgot to go to da staw! Dat's why ya gotta open up da fridge and t'row some spicy siracha in his face!! :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

ha ha ha damn, it would be like saying did pacquiao eat too much spicy lechón the night he was getting schooled by mayweather. Why couldn't rios be guilty of eating too much fried chicken or mickey d's? lmao!!!!!!!!!

He totally rehearsed the speech. When Teddy delivered it, Bradley wasn't really in a fire fight. :lol1: It was fake as hell. Tim didn't look pumped up he looked uncomfortable.

Lol the speech was funny, but what freaked me out the most was the look on Tim's face. He got so zoned, that if Teddy would have gave him that speech on the front lines in world war 2, Tim would have jumped up screaming and running towards the Germans firing away all by himself. LOL LOL word!! All by himself!! No f*ck given!! War Desert Storm

Teddy was spitting straight up fire in that speech!! Good sh*t. We control the blaze!!

I loved it man. Hilarious and motivating at the same time. I like Teddy's passion for boxing.

Epic speech...John Scully is another great trainer that gives great instructions in between rounds with an added bit of color... Good mention. I love the Iceman between rounds.

It would have got him killed against Provo :lol1: Tim is a fighter whose concentration does waver so maybe Atlas is what he needs. Wonder if Marquez will take the rematch. Nah, The strategy that Bradley employed under Diaz nearly got him killed. Teddy would have yelled at Tim to stop going toe-to-toe with Provo and box!

Atlas knows some shit! He's a bit melodramatic, but he get's his point across like a true East coast mofo! Bradley was probably thinking, "Damn, this mofo's crazy as hell, but I feel him!" I especially tripped off the way Teddy picked Tim up by his armpits at the start of each round, like he's a little kid!:lol1:

It would have got him killed against Provo :lol1: Tim is a fighter whose concentration does waver so maybe Atlas is what he needs. Wonder if Marquez will take the rematch.
