    Will Teddy Atlas be fair to Wlad in his commentary on ESPN?

    Wladimir Klitschko vs. Ruslan Chagaev is to be telecast on ESPN Classic on June 20 at 4:45 pm Eastern US time.

    In March, they showed Vitali-Gomez, and Teddy Atlas was very negative and harsh in his comments about Vitali.

    Here's an excellent boxingscene article about it:

    Talk about anything boxing related here. Where the boxing discussion is always Non Stop!


    Ted Atlas has admitted to his dislike of the Klitschko brothers. In the very first Klitschko appearance on ESPN, Wlad vs. Jackson, Teddy was repeatedly bashing Wladimir. Will he rise above it this time? Will he be a true professional and be fair to Wlad in his commentary?

      He's supposed to be a boxing ANALYST, and give a somewhat objective account of the fighters, not a ****** hater who lets his emotions control everything he says.

            Not many people will be watching so it doesn't matter anyway.

              I hope so. That way we'll get more threads from Tunney crying about it.

                That's right, he will analyze how boring Wlad is and speak on it. Hopefully he doesn't go overboard though but nothing wrong with talking about the obvious.

                  Chageav is way to slow to beat Wlad imo.

                    He won't be fair. Atlas really hates the Klitschko brothers. Why can't Atlas be fair and objective? Isn't that what someone in his role should be?

                    He will pick Chagaev to win the fight aswell. He always picks against Wlad.
