Was Teddy Atlas just canned by ESPN?

[john l]

He’s just not gonna be on the commentary team, he’ll probably just be on sports center ranting and losing his ****.
I hope that’s the case anyway I like Teddy, he’s always got the balls to say what’s on his mind

True sometimes he goes to far(Pac v Horn) but he is a true lover of Boxing as a whole.He lives for this he has put all his life into studying it.And it really pizzes him off when its abused either by fighters, promoters or dumb azz commentaters like the one he worked with last.He just Kept baiting him like he was getting off watching him start to explode.

Believe it or not people, ESPN HBO and other Networks, actually hire people to read fans reactions to Teddy Atlas and other outrageous over the top silly commentary and if the fans hate it and say they won't watch them, ESPN and the rest will pull the plug on Teddy and HBO"s what's his name who pissed Floyd off, then they got rid of him, the commentator who said , If I was 50 years younger I would kick your a-ss Floyd , he got canned to.

So they probably heard the backlash and pulled Teddy, because of his outrageous commentary and that's that, nothing he can do about it.

He was annoying ass hell anyway and it was to fake and over the top to even listen to at times, him yelling at everyone and then that other clown from first take acting a fool himself Steven A Smith so i don't blame them it was starting to get cartoonist at times.

Did you really forget who Larry Merchant is?

Teddy Atlas is a miserable commentator. He does everything in his power to make himself the center of attention instead of the fighters. Whether he's barking nonsense in a fighter's corner as a trainer or going ballistic over refereeing or judging as a commentator, he's consistently exposing himself as an attention whore.

His last cringefest was during Ramirez-Reed arguing that the stoppage was anything but justified. He was so off on that one that his fellow commentators were throwing shade at him. It got really pitiful as he started backtracking in the middle of his rant as replay after replay confirmed the validity of the stoppage.

Remove Teddy Atlas from all boxing programming. He's a fraud.

lets be real we all knew teddy time was up already his skit got old fast a long time ago.

Atlas was outraged when Bradley got the win in the first Bradley vs Pacquiao fight. He said it was a robbery and corruption was behind it. Then later when he became Bradley's trainer he did a complete 180 and said Bradley won the first fight with Pacquiao and deserved the win. So much for Atlas's honesty, integrity and credibility. If he is gone I won't miss his loud motor mouth lessening my enjoyment of the boxing.

*** And here's Stephanie Druley, an ESPN vice president. “I would like to be optimistic and I think it will happen soon,” Druley said. “I'd like to think that if we can potentially have a woman be president, we can certainly have a woman do the NFL. I think America is changing, sports fans are changing and the..." ***

Per ESPN VP Stephanie Druley: "Teddy’s expertise and knowledge of boxing is unparalleled and he will continue to be a part of our boxing coverage. As we embark upon a new approach w/our boxing coverage, we are also going to utilize different talent lineups."

Interesting....perhaps a transexual, *****phile, physically disabled 'woman'?

They probably want someone younger sounding and vibrant to appeal to the youth. People hear an old sounding relic like Atlas and think they're listening to a dying sport. Anyone but Stephen A.

What if they decided to have Skip Bayless in the commentating team?

Yeah, I disagree with what he says myself loads of times but he’s always saying what he truly thinks. I HATE commentators that just toe the company line and spew bias nonsense. I have to put up with that **** all the time over here with sky sports.
