Teddy Atlas if coaching Bradley vs Provodnikov

Atlas: Ok Tim, I know Provodnikov just tried to knock your block off but go back in there and give me another round exactly like that. I want you to put your chin out there a little more and show this SOB he's not beating Teddy baby...you put that chin out there like the warrior you are and we can go and celebrate at Denny's afterwards like the champion I...you are. The judges love that sort of thing and you send the crowd into a frenzy. Don't you see look at him he's tired from hitting you with all those shots, let him hit you some more. They may say i'm no longer lucid but i've been on ESPN when it was just SPN before they bought the E."

Harsh...but true.

Bradley needs a mentor type not another cheerleader like Atlas IMO.

Dare I whisper Virgil 'Cortisone flow' Hunter?

******ed fans you say Rios will get dominated but will land a few shots duh if that happens atlas did his job ggg dominated lem but got hit with a few punches the guy who dominates is the better trained fighter wake up

Good job if you're going for a comedy routine effect. Other than that... lame.

Atlas will do at least as good as Bradley's last trainer... probably better. Lotta hate for Teddy, mainly because he calls fights other than the way some may think is proper. It will be interesting to watch the fight. I'm sure Rios will connect some, but I don't see him doing that well. He just doesn't do much vs a good boxer. I know Bradley is too old to change ALOT, but it will be interesting to see how many nuances he brings this time.

Atlas is a terrible trainer.

Ask anyone he's ever worked with.

Very funny. I wouldn't doubt that is something Teddy might say! Lol

You young guys know nothing of the sport just as roach interned under a legend futch atlas interned under a legend cus d'amato. Povetkin was in Russia didn't come here as promised and over ate. If you remember moorer was only southpaw heavy champ grant wasn't the goods atlas molded a young Tyson destruction through the amateurs

Good post. Mike Tyson gives Teddy a lot of credit in his autobiography.

Povetkin had language issues plus his Russian handlers didn't want Teddy getting in the way of how they were controlling his career.

I think he's a very knowledgeable trainer. One training camp might not be enough to change Bradley sufficiently, though.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Tim getting caught in between styles against Rios and losing because of that.

[TRTboy]

Bradley is who is at this stage. He's not going to change just because of a different trainer.

[Zaroku]

If Bradley believes Atlas will help him, then he will & has.
Beliefs are powerful.
So is doubt.

Thanks glad you cared enough to come around being a critic...now fk off back to the rock you came out from under and stop being so f'ing petty and such a tight@ss
