Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas Confirms Removal, Will No Longer Call ESPN Fights

[Lomadeaux]

Honestly, I like Atlas

He's one of the few people who's actually passionate about boxing and doesn't just treat it as a hustle to make money while making a fool out of the public.

He actually holds fighters, promoters, networks, judges, and governing bodies accountable

Well said.

they had to get rid of teddy he spoke out about all the corruption in boxing. I like teddy he wasn't afraid to say what's on his mind.

Yup, that's what it really was.

Dude's rants go viral and watching him & Stephen A. has become appointment TV.

They just don't like that he calls out the powers that be

It’s a great thing, a marvelous thing you don’t score fights.

But I do score fights, same as you do, with my eyes and my judgement, and Horn beat Pac's ass good that night

TBH it was Mark Kriegel who started it and kept egging Atlas on. And it is true who the hell is this Kriegal. I have never heard of him, he has ever called a fight that I have seena and I have been watching boxing since the early 80s. All of a sudden this guy shows up as an analyst and everyone is suppose believe he is some boxing expert. My guess he is a Top Rank guy and Arum asked that he be put in there. In regards to commentating the guy is awful. The guy kept needling Atlas and Atlas just wanted to move on,but this ******* kept pushing him.

This is just bull****. Atlas has not said anything controversial him calling out bad decisions, bad judges, and bad refs is controversial.

ok you dumb flom0. what rounds do you think horn won? fight wasn't close. pac was the clear winner.

I think Pac won, but clear ? No. As poster said it was scrappy as fook and way too many rounds where it just wasn't clear what was going on (except the 9th). It was just a real ugly fight and Horn got the benefit of some home cooking, but clear ? Didn't see it.

Gutted for Teddy, he truly loves boxing. He may not have always been right but he was always true to himself with what he said.

ESPN has been handing out pink slips like candy on Halloween to a lot of their on air personalities. Atlas might just be the latest. He's a decent fight analyst but he has been getting more annoying. No need to shed a tear.

Stephen smith is 10x worse than Atlas and they have not demoted him. Anyway, since when is Smith even a boxing guy. He thinks because he knows Floyd that makes him a boxing expert.

The problem is Atlas always has to be right regardless of who is sitting next to him, he did the same dismissive stuff to Bradley during the Pac-Horn fight and last I checked Bradley is a fighter not a writer.

ESPN is full of a bunch of lib p@ssies. Teddy keeps it real and should be respected for it. Nobody got him to fake sh@t. Real boxing fans salute you Teddy!

Stephen A. pulls double duty on like 2 or 3 other shows and co-host a daily show. ESPN is getting their money's worth with him. Atlas only does boxing (on occasion) and probably demand an arm and a leg. When it comes to the bottom line it's not hard to understand why they would keep him over Atlas.
