    Haye is doing a good job with his commentating. Well spoken, Teddy is trying to make a fight with Povetkin and Haye ringside.

    Haye mentions that he fought Solis once as an amateur but that now Solis is a bit heavier. He thinks the weight will hurt him. (no mention of the fact that Solis stopped him)

    He praises Povetkin and laments that their scheduled fight in the amateurs didn't come off. Atlas calls him out point blank.:lol:

    Nope. The originally scheduled bout (Barthelemy vs. Avalos) was going to be a battle of huge disappointments.

    Haye seemed honest enough about everything. He talks a lot but i dont think hes a bad guy. I agree with his fight plan to take it to Wlad early

    98-91
    97-92
    100-89

    Yan Barthelemy

    FWIW, my card was 99-90 (as was Teddy's)...but ultimately some variant of wide Barthelemy decision was the right call to end a pretty unsatisfying TV fight.

    For Atlas to say he will let Povetkin fight Haye if he wins, but hes no wasnt ready for Wlad is basically saying to Haye that hes not as big a threat. I would have called Teddy on that

    It is all part of promoting himself and he does a fine job at that, I cant blame him for it.

    Teddy is comparing Martinez to Monzon. :-(

    Other than being Argentine middleweight champs, that is a streeeeeeetch.

    So what do you think about about Martinez performance?

    Atlas: "Meh, not bad" LOL

    It is a stretch from a styles perspective, i mean they dont look the same in the ring or work in the same manner. But, I do think he is on point about their comparative ring generalship. They have their where from a ring general perspective.

    Atlas picks Margarito in a Cotto rematch. :think

    He's really big on the whole "mentally ruined" thing.

    Funny how he mentions that Cotto was diminished by Pacquiao and Margarito but didn't mention anything about Margarito being possibly diminished by Mosley and Pac.

    strange how Teddy didnt mention that maybe Pac and Mosley could have diminished Margarito a lot too.
