    The corrupt creeps that are destroying the sport were worried he could probably have exposed them all. He had to go it doesn't do to speak the truth in a corrupt atmosphere

    sure, but he wasnt being paid to tell the truth, he was paid to analyze boxing effectively, and to promote the network and sport. if he was consistently correct on his takes regarding his analysis, then you maybe could forgive the rest. but any fool can get up there and call out the obvious, while being wrong about everything going on in the fights.

    In who's opinion was he always wrong about everything in the fights ? Yours. He was eccentric yes but he loves the sport & hated to see it being flushed down the sewer. Those responsible for the flushing were the ones that kicked him out without a doubt. We all see the corruption going on these days its just sad some seem to just accept it is ruining the greatest sport in the world

    What can you do ??? The State commissions run the sport & can do as they please doing it. In Tony's case what they did was take his boxing licence away based on Naz Richardsons claim about plaster blocks BEFORE those wraps had ever been inspected. When they were inspected they were found to be harmless no plaster was ever found. I think instead of admitting Tony was innocent they decided not to return his boxing license in Ca because they SUSPECTED he may have tried to cheat. They issued his boxing license they could & did revoke it All that was found was that harmless used pad Capetillo accidently used in the wrap instead of a new one. Being the governing commission of the sport they were able to do that.
    No one connected ever came out a said & proved he'd done anything wrong just that they SUSPECTED he hado proof. Is that justice !!!!!!! ?????? it isn't in my book that's for sure. I'll be absolutely honest in saying I do not believe he ever did anything wrong & if I had any proof he had messed with his wraps I'd be on him worse that any of you like I was with Resto & Panama Lewis that was proven

    Yes, Teddy is a truth seeker, a truth speaker and he is one of the lone voices with a platform who speaks truth to power. He's like me as in he's always gonna give it to you straight whether you like it or not and if you don't boo hoo because truth, integrity, principles>>your feelings. Whats right is right and if you're too scared to stand up for what's right then stand the hell down because you ain't a real man.

    i agree about tony, they did him dirty. but i still say teddy was just not good at his job. neither commentary nor training. i dont have a problem with teddy talking truth, when he knows what hes talkin about. as far him calling out corruption, good, i do the same thing.

    They called him eccentric until he actually called out the corruption in the sport & named names they panicked & he had to go they feared their heads would role. So you think that guy they replaced Teddy with , Kreigal what ever his name is , is any better ? He aint got a clue about boxing just a yes man
