What was with Teddy Atlas at the end of FNF?

I remember when they announced the Augustus vs. Burton decision he went ballistic. He did have every right to be upset about that one though.

Finally someone with half a brain in his head that doesn't fall for his reality TV style drama. Huge hypocrite and a **** announcer and **** trainer. All he does in the corner is make a spectical of himself while making it look like he's "motivating". Instead of motivating him to throw a punch how about giving him advice on how to land it?

And all he does when announcing a fight is say his dumb ass analogies while constantly complaining about the boxers if they don't fight the way he says they should even if that fighter is dominating.

**** Atlas.

 

He's become an annoying lunatic.
Reaction to the decision was overblown.

 

Watch the whole fight? Jeez and here I am thinking all I had to do was watch the first round to beable to pick a winner.atsch

Look at his history, he is a hypocrite. Take all the times he said "We can't have these fighters from states with no commissions, North Carolina and Virginia, coming on FNF with build to records, built up in states with no commissions, where fighters are not properly scrutinized...." OK, but as he would say it, he would be preparing to take Elvir Muqui, his fighter at time, to North Carolina or some state he had condemned for a fight! Look at Shannon Briggs record under Atlas, all opponents from these states with no commissions.

Boxer safety and integrity of sport? When he got povetkin, Atlas set up exhibition bout that was like a real fight, and who did he choose? Bruce Seldon, who was under a medical suspension. He tried to hush it up, but one reporter was there wrote of it, an word got out. Since Teddy is long time friend of most writers, it led to nothing, no scandal.


Atlas has, and still will, pull more **** than anyone in boxing, while condeming it on tv if others show a hint of doing same. Even close fights, that are sometimes scored differently by his co host and in studio guest, are called suspicious or worng by him. He is not out to help sport, he is out to promote self. And as usual, he has done so again,this thread being evidence of that.

Thanks, and **** Atlas!!!

 

Teddy is unbiased, he doesn't play favourites, and tells it like it is. Teddy has high moral character and values.

Yeah, that would be cool to have Teddy on HBO to replace Steward.
