Comments Thread For: Team Horn Vow To BAN "Biased" Teddy Atlas From Rematch!

[Code Red]

I'll definitely give y'all that. His commentary was bad. He did virtually ignore anything that Horn did, and Horn did a lot of good work in there. No question.

But it's one thing to claim that Teddy's commentary swayed casual observers, and quite another to claim that he swayed actual fighters, trainers, and promoters (like Code Red implied). Those guys could give a f**k what the telecast is/was saying. They're watching the actual fight. They see it from a totally different perspective.

But yes, to the point y'all are making regarding Atlas, yes, he was terribly one sided in his commentary.

He certainly persuaded casuals and casuals are the ESPN audience that's ranting, raging, and trying to get the decision reversed!

Atlas called it how he saw it period, and he is not even a fan of Pac

As much as Teddy complained, his card had three glaring mistakes. Horn won the 6th and 12th and there is no way the 9th should have been a 10-8 round. His card should have been a draw.

this....case closed lol. robbery smh

i agree .teddy was atrocious. bradley was scared to voice his opinion because of teddys immature outbursts .bradley wanted to say horn won. this is the stance floyd should've taken at HBO when larry merchant used to trash him nonstop. ban any biased idiots. horn won that fight. when WBO rescores it it'll confirm that. pac fans need to go dive in saltwater.

Bradley repeatedly said horn lost. You really think Tim would be scared to voice his opinion to teddy atlas? Bear in mind he trains him so knows him very well

I find it hard to believe a guy who fights for a living was intimidated by his own trainer lol. He's been covering fights for a while now too.

Watch the full fight I posted and listen for yourself, he is in fact intimidating and dismissing bradleys opinions

Get Malignaggi in for Atlas next time, move Atlas over to covering FNF, Saturday main events are clearly too much for that senile geriatric fück now.

Regardless of his score, Teddy's commentary was terrible. He just screamed terrible analogies every time Pacquaio landed a punch then went silent when Horn returned fire. He's become a parody of himself.

I think he wanted to emphasize as much as possible that this fight was a cherry pick/sham/etc. That required crapping on Horn. When Horn started making a fight of it, Atlas doubled down rather than give kudos.

That's what I thought too, dude couldn't be brave enough to say he saw and called the fight wrong. He needs to be dropped by ESPN period, a fight of that magnitude is clearly way beyond him, someone like Malignaggi or Virgil Hunter they're top commentators I used to love listening to Steward, Atlas just frustrates me to the point I turn the sound off.

Had to watch the fight again on box nation feed as I just wasn't seeing what Teddy was seeing, thankfully they've got some good commentators working their shows maybe ESPN should just hire those guys.

Within seconds of the first round he talked about how dry Horn is compared to Manny who was warm and glistening, the agenda was apparent immediately!

Picked up on that straight away it was as though he was trying to point out one had a professional approach that would work and pay off and the other didn't know to warm up because he was undeserving of fighting at this level, I shook my head and became more agitated as the fight wore on with his commentary.
