Can somebody point me in the direction of fights on YouTube where Teddy Atlas has done the commentary? Thanks,
look up the fight where he commentates and then blasts the judges on tv for robbing emmanuel augustus
Love the guys passion, though he can get a little over technical which does not flow with the action.
Teddy is honest. That is something quite rare in boxing these days. If he sees injustice done in a fight he'll up & say so. He'll call out the suspect officials & the corrupt commissions. The Augustus-Burton fight was a TRAVESTY a blatant robbery like so many of Augustus "losses" Teddy was right in everything he said Yes Teddy is eccentric at tims BUT above all he truly loves the sport of boxing as I do. All we both ask for is Give both fighters a level playing field Make it a good fight & may the best man LEGITIMATELY win!!
I remember watching the fight when it took place and I found myself in complete agreement with Teddy. Personally I think he's a pretty good commentator. When I first watched him about 10-15 years ago, I thought his technical advice was interesting. Now he seems to give antidotal advice instead. (Ie going to the body is like putting money in the bank, you collect interest later in the fight)
Here's some of Teddy's work in Film he really is a great actor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pnrs3zu0xeI
It's amazing what makeup and proper lightning can do a person's appearance. Teddy Atlas looks almost not ugly in that scene, and they haven't even used any CGI. Some talented people at work, that's for sure :good
He is not so honest, he just keeps calling almost everyone in boxing corrupt, and has done so for so long he has built rep with some as honest.
