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

Thank god. The screaming is too much at this point. They need to put on a solid telecast Saturday night. Hopefully they get 2 million views. Boxing needs that.

I'm a Teddy fan, but understand why someone could find him annoying lol.

Ol' scarface is gone.

Haha.

He's ****** off the tit long enough.

New blood coming in...I hope.

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

Is not that he's not knowledgeable, he's extremely biased. Commentary should be based on the fight and the action, not your agenda. Plus, his "keys to voctory" segments are fking awful. Lol

Ill take Teddy (controversy and all ) OVER than any of these cheerleaders any day and twice on Sunday!!
Their loss.

I want brutal honesty whether i agree with it or not.

Not looking for cheerleaders which is what most of the others are with little or no nuanced knowledge of the game.

Lets see here....Arum moves to ESPN.... Puts his newest star fighter who has very little experience in with an accomplished slickster....and suddenly the commentator who lambasts bogus decisions is stricken from the telecast.

Yeah this isn't part of a setup to do Rigo dirty.

At least we won't be enduring Atlas calling Lomachenko as "LOMANCHENKO" all night.

man i wish we had roy commentating for this fight

[minemax]

I love Teddy, but yes, he is too biased towards Lomachenko. I hope he understands it as well.

That punk Kriegel must have reported Teddy for s-harassment, and now ESPN is just getting out in front of it
