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

[club fighter]

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!!!

Teddy just has to reel that shyt in sometimes. He's reached into the well too many times on the "I'm so pyssed off I can't control myself" act. Cutting off people, shaming fighters, shaming judges, spitting when he talks, sometimes it's just too over the top.

His boxing knowledge is tops and like you said, the analogies are precious.

Thank you. Never liked Atlas' grossly biased commentating and Joe Tessitore's excessive cheerleading of him.

[Cigar]

That's the ONLY thing he got right for years.......

Let me guess. You're black?

That was only after the Canelo fight. Check all of his P4P lists before then. GGG was nowhere to be found.

I’d rather have Skip!

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.

kieggle shouldnt been there. Plain and simple. Old school knowledgable boxing guys are needed. Not this new sissy breed

Teddy WAS the man, in Friday Night Fights! Then when bob got the espn deal EVERYTHING changed!

That has nothing to do with Teddy, he keeps it 100 still

As a British man of Jamaican origin I rarely watch the U.S boxing analysts and commentators. They all sound like complete shills.

Stephen A. Smith is one arrogant smarmy bastard. I saw him belittle and try to wind up Teddy Atlas when Atlas was speaking the truth on the Canelo scorecard that was given by Byrd.

Atlas will always have his hood pass intact for that alone. Stephen A. Smith, I imagine, would get fùcked up in every hood he ever steps in.

It's ironic you say that as a Brit, their commentary is about as bias as I've ever seen or heard of
