Was Teddy Atlas just canned by ESPN?

lol ok well I guess take it as a compliment your sharp enough to make me think it was possible:) Nice one man👍🏻

Teddy Atlas is a miserable commentator. He does everything in his power to make himself the center of attention instead of the fighters. Whether he's barking nonsense in a fighter's corner as a trainer or going ballistic over refereeing or judging as a commentator, he's consistently exposing himself as an attention whore. His last cringefest was during Ramirez-Reed arguing that the stoppage was anything but justified. He was so off on that one that his fellow commentators were throwing shade at him. It got really pitiful as he started backtracking in the middle of his rant as replay after replay confirmed the validity of the stoppage. Remove Teddy Atlas from all boxing programming. He's a fraud. exactly. he got his fighters ko'd then his insane diatribes in the corner. he never shuts up for a second during a fight. I bet he gave himself that scar he has. he is a make believe tough guy

No I mean watching it on the TV😂😂 lol ok well I guess take it as a compliment your sharp enough to make me think it was possible:)

Atlas sucks. He cant shut up. He loves to hear his own voice. And hes a drama queen. Yes, there are bad decisions in boxing. But I am tired of his soap box rants. He rants even if its a 50-50 fight. I'll be happy if I never have to hear him again What a fool you are.

this politically correct bs has me by the balls. the few are just taking the words out of people so they can take their thoughts too. F em all!

Ah Cool you work for Sky Sports.The boxing dept? No I mean watching it on the TV😂😂

I saw a guy comment this on atlas getting kicked off.....i died laughing "Good he's annoying. Gets off topic too much and goes crazy trying to make stuff relevant to boxing. Not going to miss him. "You know you're at the store and you're trying to reach that item on the top shelf but you can't get to it, why? Because you're too far out that's Lomanchenko he's too far out with his jab. He has to step around the shopping cart and reach for the bottom shelf, that's downstairs! He has to work the body! Then it becomes easier to reach the top shelf." Every fight this type of stupidity that leaves you scratching your head. " But wait!!! Rigondeaux is going to push that shopping cart farther down the aisle, that's right he's going to create distance." No thanks good riddance." :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Personally, I love that shit. But to each their own.

Yeah, I disagree with what he says myself loads of times but he’s always saying what he truly thinks. I HATE commentators that just toe the company line and spew bias nonsense. I have to put up with that sh*t all the time over here with sky sports. Ah Cool you work for Sky Sports.The boxing dept?

Who’s replacing Atlas ?

True sometimes he goes to far(Pac v Horn) but he is a true lover of Boxing as a whole.He lives for this he has put all his life into studying it.And it really pizzes him off when its abused either by fighters, promoters or dumb azz commentaters like the one he worked with last.He just Kept baiting him like he was getting off watching him start to explode. Yeah, I disagree with what he says myself loads of times but he’s always saying what he truly thinks. I HATE commentators that just toe the company line and spew bias nonsense.

They probably want someone younger sounding and vibrant to appeal to the youth. People hear an old sounding relic like Atlas and think they're listening to a dying sport. Anyone but Stephen A.

*** And here's Stephanie Druley, an ESPN vice president. “I would like to be optimistic and I think it will happen soon,” Druley said. “I'd like to think that if we can potentially have a woman be president, we can certainly have a woman do the NFL. I think America is changing, sports fans are changing and the..." *** Per ESPN VP Stephanie Druley: "Teddy’s expertise and knowledge of boxing is unparalleled and he will continue to be a part of our boxing coverage. As we embark upon a new approach w/our boxing coverage, we are also going to utilize different talent lineups." Interesting....perhaps a transexual, paedophile, physically disabled 'woman'?

Atlas was outraged when Bradley got the win in the first Bradley vs Pacquiao fight. He said it was a robbery and corruption was behind it. Then later when he became Bradley's trainer he did a complete 180 and said Bradley won the first fight with Pacquiao and deserved the win. So much for Atlas's honesty, integrity and credibility. If he is gone I won't miss his loud motor mouth lessening my enjoyment of the boxing.

Believe it or not people, ESPN HBO and other Networks, actually hire people to read fans reactions to Teddy Atlas and other outrageous over the top silly commentary and if the fans hate it and say they won't watch them, ESPN and the rest will pull the plug on Teddy and HBO"s what's his name who pissed Floyd off, then they got rid of him, the commentator who said , If I was 50 years younger I would kick your a-ss Floyd , he got canned to. So they probably heard the backlash and pulled Teddy, because of his outrageous commentary and that's that, nothing he can do about it. He was annoying ass hell anyway and it was to fake and over the top to even listen to at times, him yelling at everyone and then that other clown from first take acting a fool himself Steven A Smith so i don't blame them it was starting to get cartoonist at times. Did you really forget who Larry Merchant is?

He’s just not gonna be on the commentary team, he’ll probably just be on sports center ranting and losing his sh*t. I hope that’s the case anyway I like Teddy, he’s always got the balls to say what’s on his mind True sometimes he goes to far(Pac v Horn) but he is a true lover of Boxing as a whole.He lives for this he has put all his life into studying it.And it really pizzes him off when its abused either by fighters, promoters or dumb azz commentaters like the one he worked with last.He just Kept baiting him like he was getting off watching him start to explode.

Why would he do that, when he has shown CLEAR bias towards Loma. No way in hell would he be screaming up and down if Rigo gets robbed. He would do the opposite, and try to convince the public that Loma won. No Teddie is a man of respect whether you like him or not.And I can understand why some don't.But he is a REAL man and would not try and convince anybody of anything he did not believe.And Teddy is ALWAYS scoring more to underdog so much so that I don't really give his scoring much thought.

Atlas used to be OK as a commentator but from what i've heard of him over the last 4 or 5 years he sounded terrible. Bad voice, croaky, slow, old, slow brain. Who will be on the new team? If he didn't always act like he knows more than anyone else in the world it would help. He probably does know more but theres a difference between being a commentator and bogarting the airwaves with your rhetoric and bullying anyone else with an opinion.
