Yeah, we only see a Teddy-type in boxing, once in a 10 year or 15 yr period. Larry Merchant is another straight-shooter that's hard to replace....
Why
Was it Leavander Johnson, Duk Koo Kim?
Yeah, that was one dramatic finish.
or maybe his life was threatened. They probably told him, "Teddy, if you keep talking you'll be in a "car accident".
Julio Cesar Chavez vs Meldrick Taylor was another one, because everyone thought Chavez was going to lose, and even the announcers were speechless...
years ago, Teddy was suspended for threatening an ESPN employee. Maybe they used his work history/reprimand as another excuse to release him from...
Tito cheated his way with an intentional low blow on Vargas, and avoided being KO'd by Vargas after Vargas knocked down Tito.
That's true. I also think Top Rank had to do with Atlas being removed, since they started a new contract with ESPN
JMM vs Pac (2004), their 1st fight. I thought Pac was going to ko JMM after dropping JMM 3 times. It was unbelievable how JMM came back from 3...
They think of fans as "boxing sheep".
Emmanuel Stewart to Lennox Lewis, "You got a dead man (Tyson) in front of you"!
I remember reading or hearing a story that Teddy almost killed Mike Tyson by putting a gun to his head.
true
Atlas & Merchant should work together when calling a fight. Both expose boxing corruption on the air a lot.
