ESPN Suspends Teddy Atlas For One Week

[mr.anthrax]

I trust and support Teddy 100 percent. I have no doubt he is being punished for standing up for what is right. What a shame.

[Truth]

Teddy Atlas for president of boxing. Atlas wants to rid the sport of curruption.

Damn, that sucks...

Teddy is a hot head, and always has been. I remember reading about his confrontations with Tyson and Cus back in the early 80's (and the reason why Tyson and him cannot be in the same room together).

Read Teddy Atlas's book. It gives you a total breakdown of everything that was happening. It sounds like he tells you the truth....pretty much Cus was being way too loose with Tyson and letting him get away with everything, and then after that Tyson ****d Teddy Atlas little sister.



In a perfect world, Showtime's whole boxing shows would move to ESPN, with Teddy as the announcer (replacing Al Bernstein WHO I HATE, the dude thinks every fight will be Corrales-Castillo), and all the matchups on Showtime would be on ESPN.

Friday Night Fights used to be credible, a good show. Fights like Micky Ward vs. Augustus, heck even Ward vs. Judah was a good fight. I never expect to see a good fight when I tune into FNF, and I believe that has to do with promoters.

Teddy should just walk. ESPN will be begging him to come back. Who else are they gonna get..........Gil Clancy? Teddy does make the show better and the people at ESPN would have to be idiots not to know that.

Teddy is a nob he shoulda fought Tyson instead of pulling a gun (cause Tyson tried to pump teddys sister). The corruption in boxing is bigger than Teddy Atlas, look at the WBA ranking Ruiz at #3.

ah man teddy shudnet get suspended for that but he has a temper problem and doesnt like all the wrong things about the world of boxing .e.g corruption etc.

[KILLA RIGHT]

This is ******....If the main events suck,i can still listen to teddy.That's how good he is at his job.ESPN better not let him go.He's the truth

[Dick-Sucker]

Credible sources have informed BoxingScene.com that Teddy Atlas has been suspended for one-week by ESPN. While the reasoning has not been confirmed, it doesn't take a genius to figure the situation out. On January 18, I wrote a report with respect to a verbal confrontation which took place between Atlas, ringside analyst for ESPN's Friday Night Fight Series, and the network's boxing program director, Doug Loughrey.

Can't see why he should be punished for telling the truth.

That sucks, Teddy is very good at what he does IMO.
