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

[Sir_Didymus]

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

You do realise I pretty much just said that? I called them shills. Meaning they are biased and will say and do anything to please their masters agenda for that cheque. Teddy Atlas however is not. That man speaks sense.

Atlas supporters keep saying they like how he's not a "cheerleader," but he IS a cheerleader. For himself. He's so g*dd*mn arrogant and wants the show to be about him.

He is very knowledgeable, I learn a lot from him. I also agreed with him during the Kriegel dustup. But at least once a fight he starts yelling for no reason, and it's all code for "HEY EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" It's sad, really.

I just want to watch the fight, with insights that complement the match rather than overshadow it.

Good news. I won't have to mute the fight.

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

Teddy was excellent when he was in Friday Night Fights but he always had bad picks, maybe he did it on purpose? Then when bob got the espn deal Teddy changed. SAS is no good either. Bernardo Osuna doesn't act bias & doesn't give his opinion so what wrong with him?

This may seem strange to say, but Osuna is way too basic IMO. And here's a litmus test: Any commentator that always uses the fighters nickname when he's talking about him... that commentator just isn't that slick.

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

No argument on the 'keys to victory', but they're funny for that reason. He can be a goofball, no doubt, but the guy has done a lot for the sport. So he has my respect.
