    Teddy already said watching the K. Bros fight was like watching paint dry. Statements like that I think are a good indicator of how objective his commentary will be.

      See I don't even mind that part at all. But to give them no credit and not acknowledge their skills and victories is ridiculous.

      And some of those guys he picked to win against them defy logic.


      Atlas is way too irrational. Hate their style fine. But to dismiss them completely is childish and dumb.

          Yes, it's Atlas refusing to recognize their successes that's most irritating.

            Atlas has been around boxing for a long time..He's seen a lot of great fighters,

            You can't blame him if he's not impressed by the Klit Bros.

I realize he was a good trainer, but somehow that doesn't translate to the booth at all for him. No one should care what Teddy Atlas thinks until he decides to train fighters again.
              Exactly. He's awful.

                Atlas is just a Magyar Douchbag who's still upset that the empire collapsed and that they lost Halychyna

                seriously though, Ibragimov could of made it exciting had he fought his natural style, getting with Jeff Mayweather turned him into a *****, he was exciting & aggressive. Why the hell did he retire?

                Chagaev's skill is underrated by alot of people i think, i expect a pretty entertaining fight.

                  I see the Ring website has an article bashing Wlad by Eric Raskin, who seems to hate white fighters, and you know who they quoted for negative comments about him? Teddy Atlas.
