This thing with the Klitschko brothers, especially Wladimir, needs to end. The sad thing is that it really has nothing to do with being Povetkin's trainer. Atlas always picks against both brothers whenever given the chance to share his prediction before a Klitschko fight and during the entire ESPN broadcast he was extremely critical of Wladimir, particularly early on, despite the dominance. His bias is exacerbated by the fact that he points out all of Wladimir's flaws while failing to give him credit, though we know he has to respect the champion a little since he pulled his own fighter out of a bout with the younger Klitschko. I know Teddy is a passionate man and that is part of his charm as a broadcaster, but he can't keep calling himself a professional while showing this amount of pure bias.
Atlas is torching his own credibility and almost becoming a joke with this bizarre dislike of the Klitschkos. It's extremely curious what is motivating his weird non-stop disrespect for the Klitschko reign of dominance. I mean how foolishly stupid would an announcer sound if he continually whined over flaws of Woods or Federer while they just crushed their opposition year after year after year? Atlas seems to have some kind of weird hang-up.
Unfortunately some people may have actually been watching the broadcast, regrettably with the sound on. The whole broadcast was a string of backhanded compliments.
I don't think he was biased he was just offering his opinion on what everyone is wondering, how do you beat Wlad? I don't think getting on the inside and just punching is as easy as he makes it seems, perhaps quick counter punching and good hands up defense is the way to beat Wlad. He is annoying though because he talks way too much and says the same thing over and over.
Teddy's jealousy is exacerbated by the fact that Wlad is banging that uber hottie Hayden P. I doubt Teddy's ever scored a lay in his life bar getting it dished out to him via the backdoor in the big house!
He's not a hater, he's just being honest. It's the only way he can get fans interested in the fight as well. Nobody wants to see a guy completely dominate an opponent that has no chance. Not only was he pointing out flaws in Wlad's defense, but he was giving fans a reason to watch just in case Peter was listening and decided to act on his advice. Credit to Wlad though because he won, but to me he still looks like a vulernable fighter, and he doesn't utilize all of his weapons, IE uppercuts, because he lacks confidence in his chin.
