Comments Thread For: ESPN Confirms Teddy Atlas Won't Work Loma-Rigo Broadcast

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Longtime ESPN boxing analyst Teddy Atlas won't work the cable network's telecast Saturday night of the highly anticipated Vasyl Lomachenko-Guillermo Rigondeaux fight. Yahoo! Sports' Chris Mannix reported Wednesday that the outspoken Atlas, a former trainer who has worked ESPN boxing broadcasts for nearly 20 years, won't take his usual ringside seat alongside blow-by-blow announcer Joe Tessitore in The Theater at Madison Square Garden. The move comes less than month after Atlas spent a significant portion of an ESPN broadcast verbally sparring against Mark Kriegel, a former newspaper columnist and new member of the network's announcing team.

Thats very good. I can't deal with his screaming while I'm really trying to watch.

Man, this weekend just got better. I hope he stays home and smokes some weed. He needs to chill the heck out.

It's about time. He's pretty awful. Didn't even have GGG on his pound for pound lists.

Pretty much this. I guess the haters are such boxing experts they think they know more about boxing than Atlas. Oh well. I wonder if those same haters like Bernardo Osuna or Stephen A Smith?

For my money, Mark Kriegel was crapola as an addition to the broadcast recently. I'd have likely been sparring with the idiot just like Teddy was. LOL
