Watching the ESPN version of Klitschko-Briggs is MUCH better without Teddy Atlas!

[The Hammer]

A good commentator adds to the enjoyment of watching a fight, and a poor one takes away from it.

There's several video versions of Klitschko-Briggs going around...

There's the RTL version which is great but I don't understand German. Then there's the Ukrainian version, in our videos section. And of course there's the Prime Time version, but that commentator isn't very good...

But I just found the ESPN version on YouTube, and the commentary is EXCELLENT!

If ESPN had good sense, they would replace Teddy Atlas with BJ Flores.

Sergio Mora is actually doing a decent job on the Bute fight as well.

I can't stand Teddy. He does waaaaay too much talking during fights. More than Joe.

Teddy is the man. I would love to hear his commentary on Briggs' corner and the ref.

Teddy's not that bad Tunney, why do you cry about it so much.

He's sickeningly repetitive and predictable.

His voice is unpleasant, unlike BJ Flores who has a fine voice.

Teddy is a moron who believes he's smart - a loser with a big ego and a lot of false pride.

Repetitive? BJ Flores said nearly the same things for all 12 rounds.

"Briggs needs to put his left hand up"
"Briggs needs to get the jab out there"
"Big right hand by Vitali"
"This fight needs to be stopped"
"Someone should stop this fight"

Watch the telecast again with a bottle of whiskey and take a shot everytime BJ says one of those things.

You'll be ****faced.

The primetime UK commentator was awesome btw. Also B.J. Flores? Nothing original or interesting has ever come out of his mouth.
