Didn't see this and tried like hell to find it...who was off base? The new guy or Atlas? Can you remember what they were bitching about?

Teddy Atlas and Mark Kriegel argued over what was happening in the ring. Atlas was killing Koelling for not going all out and trying to win the title. He felt Koelling would rather settle for not losing by KO (and thus get more fights because it looked like a "good" loss) rather than risk being KTFO by a counter punch. The crowd was bored and would boo the lack of action. Teddy was pissed off.

Kriegel would disagree Teddy would direct his anger at Kriegel, yelling at him, cutting him off, sonning him. IMO Teddy was right about what was going on but he shouldn't have argued like that. He really made Kriegel look weak.

I did play football too & I can hook you up with a nice hair-cut too.

Rigondeaux gon put a whoopin on your boy, watch.

No pitty-pat punches that don't land don't count either....

good.. i cant stand teddy. all this dude does is talk shiiet about the fighter.

[Shadoww702]

Cuz when he "bi@tched" bout lil g's resume his bosses said, "HEY! None of that truth around here!"

So he changed his tune for the $$$$$$$

That's my knock on Crawford as well. These guys are getting rated P4P on looks and potential ONLY! And not on actual fights or resume.

Damn, so no analogies from Teddy like,

"Loma is fast food serving Rigondeaux like an In an out burger shop, you know he's serving him fries and drinks with his right hand and then giving him the burger with the left"!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or ,"Rigodeaux is playing Loma like a master violinist, you know Loma is the violin and Rigo uses his right for the tuner and then the left hand for the bow and he's just playing him"

Damn, gotta love his analogies, there very entertaining!

Him and SAS need they own segments!

LMAO is this payback about the Beterbiev fight??
Teddy was abusing that other guy on the telecast, it was hilarious...

[slimPickings]

Vintage Teddy!
He wears his heart on his sleeve.
Not worried about "losing my Job" like most.
Knows what he is talking about, has honest passion and good for boxing.

Controversial at times. Yes. So what.

You can keep the cheerleaders if it makes you feel good but most of them know absolutely NOTHING and just spouting off scripted nonsense.

Unprofessional

I watched the fight they're referring to. It was very unprofessional. Not only were they arguing, but there were a lot of awkward silences (I'm guessing they were covering the mics to argue some more). Even though I agree with the point Atlas was trying to make, his reaction to Kiegel disagreeing with him was over the top. He even said, "Dont talk to me"... Live on TV! They were straight arguing for like the whole second half of the fight.
I don't care who you are. You cant have that during a Live Broadcast. If I was ESPN, I'd fire both of them.
