Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas: Crawford-Horn Was a Volkswagen Against a Ferrari

[BoxingTech718]

Atlas is often wrong when it comes to judging fights but he was right for once about Horn.

[Slowhand]

okay, Teddy.

Nice, but is the VW doing VADA..?

"That doesn't mean I'm right.".....Thats the most sensible thing regarding his take on Pac/Horn. Horn bullied his way to a win against an OLDer version of a Philippines gov't "sitting" official - in Australia no less. Pacs been "sitting" pushing papers for a while now. Pro-boxers require ALWAYS being in the gym - "living" in the gym so to speak - its a lifestyle! an inordinate amount of time "sitting" can allow for even the VERY BEST of ANY athlete to fade in skills & technique, even to the point where a far less skilled DETERMINED TOUGH opponent can sneak up on you and escape with the win.......

Because Crawford has now won fair & square, Teddys blood vessel bursting ego has him believing he never couldve been wrong in the 1st place regarding the sitting gov't officials loss?.....there are other so-called "experts" out there that thought Pac lost too.....but in his Teddys eyes, "40yrs" in the game makes him automatically right!?.....yeah right, keep dreamin', just don't burst that blood vessel next time you "know" youre right....

Horn was gifted with $4M total. There's no shame in going back to earth and retire down under. mate.

Yeah, by that I mean he didn’t fight some nobody for a vacant title, he wasn’t crafted a career path. He comes from a boxing backwater where the matchmaking is a bit hit and miss and you have to be workmanlike and earn a pittance to fight.

I just think Atlas is being an A1 d1ck and should just give him a little cred for turning up and send him on his way that’s all. Pro boxing is a tough gig and Atlas knows that. And yeah, I know he’s salty about the Pac win, but it wasn’t a travesty, Pac didn’t do enough, there’s been worse results than that given to Pac, a couple of Márquez wins were very questionable for starters.

i guess you think punchstats are unreliable, too....(b/u). true, there has been 2 worse robberies.

Teddy always cracks me up. He’s like drunk uncle, but he actually knows what he’s talking about. If I could get him and Larry Merchant doing color commentary together, well that would be the ****.

Teddy Atlas should be boxing best commentator and expert

Boxing has in Teddy Atlas the best fight commentator in boxing sad that ESPN does not utlilize Teddy better. Listen to Atlas to get the TRUTH on fighters. Horn is scrap a nothing. As most Aussies are. Never been a good Aussie boxer.

Of course I don’t ignore the stats, but until boxing is judged by AI using real-time video analysis, you’re gonna get subjective results like the one Horn got against Pac. Pac didn’t show the giant gap in class he should of if Horn was crap and just there for a pay day. It was too easy for a judge to be influenced by the partisan crowd.

All I’m saying in my comments is Horn is not an awful boxer and he comes to fight which is entertaining and he has no control over judges. So, having a high profile person like Atlas clearly soo hateful to him is unprofessional and just make me dislike home even more not Horn.
