Teddy Atlas picks DLH over PBF......

[deliveryman]

the probel there is dlh is not judah, judah is a scrub

I wonder if you're still going to call Judah a scrub when he stops Miguel.

Wanna bet on it?

**** happens. De La Hoya has a great chance. Floyd isn't god. Anyone is beatable.

Why ya think that Floyd is gonna run down De La Hoya? He isn't Gatti.

I'll take that ****.

I'll take that ****.

How did I know, that someone with the PR flag plastered all over their sig, and has avatars of Tito and Cotto would take this bet.

15K on Judah. It's on.

[Easy-E]

lol beat me to it.

i dunno if that was legit though, i think it was just the counter-pick to larry merchant picking floyd.

It was actully Teddy telling everyone that the fight was going to be close and competitive, and he picked Judah to illustrate that point, while actully conceeding that Floyd would be the likely winner.

Actually no.

I'll try to find the video on youtube, but he clearly picked and expected Judah to WIN the fight.

WHat does that have to do with anything? Judah is alright, he does have a chance. I like him, he trains at my gym. He a cool dude, but I just don't see him beating Cotto.

It's plastered because its where im from and im proud of it! That's why Cotto is gonna earn me your 15k points and 200$ in real life when he checks that ass.


You on! You gonna delivery my points and I want it as fast as Cotto drops Judah.

i liek atlas's analysis that a jab and staying on the outside could be effective against PBF... forrest did it to shane... I believe a forrest/hearns type fighter(tall, quick jab, good boxing skills)) would give PBF hell... just a bad style for floyd to fight against

[potatoes]

I really respect Atlas and his insites into the game of boxing. He has been spot on in alot of his predictions over the past few years, getting credit from Al Bernstein and Bert Sugar on Ringside.

He wasn't going to make a prediction for the fight but last night on Wednesday Night Fights he went out on a limb and picked DLH. Just for the record he picked Morales over Paquiao the first time they fought and then picked Pac in the second fight.

What I was most suprised with was how he said DLH would do it. I am in the thinking (like Roach) that DLH needs to bully and use his strength and size advantage over Mayweather. Atlas said he needs to keep PBF outside with the jab and use it to nuetralize PBF speed. Very interesting observation and wonder if DLH would employ that if the bully tactic doesn't work.

I do beleive DLH has the jab to do it but I fear that boxing from the outside will only lead to a decision win for Mayweather but hey, Atlas has been spot on in alot of his recent predictions. What do you guys think?

If you have seen the promotional features by HBO you will have noticed that Mayweather is considerably faster than DLH. Considering his style, DLH doesn't have many options to neutralizing Mayweather's speed advantage. He has to establish the jab, cut off the ring and bully Mayweather into the ropes. He will also need to hit Mayweather with that lefthook to the body. Chopping off Mayweather's legs isn't going to be easy but it is necessary to set up the knockout in the later rounds. If DLH isn't willing to walk through many of Mayweather's shots, he just won't get the job done.

expect dela hoya to match floy's speed

I doubt that. I know DLH isn't slow by any means, but have you ever seen Floyd fight. He is lightspeeds faster than most of his opponents and DLH will be no different.

As for Atlas he does always seem to get things right. I remember when Allen Green fought Mcquery and Allen Green was dominating, but Atlas was saying Green was getting too ****y and was lowering his hands too much and then boom Green was down and almost out. He really understands the sport. On this pick though I don't know if he is right.
