    I think Teddy just likes to pull for the underdog. Although its probably mostly correct, I do question the accuracy of your results. I'd have to see some confirmation from other people, since I haven't keep track of all his big fight picks. But you do have to admit, he usually does correctly pick the winners on the Wednesday and Friday night fight broadcasts. I remember seeing one where he was not only right, but picked it on the dot, KO and time of the round.

    You'd think he'd at least have the common sense to start picking the guy he thought would lose instead.

    He used to gamble a lot, don't know about now. He was always a loser, at gambling and training guys. Oh, and his picks, too. :lol:

    Incredible ! There was a topic a week or so ago where Teddy's low pick percentage came up. People were posting how bad his picks have been (w/o giving a list). I asked if Atlas was that bad and someone replied - yes he's that bad. I can't believe he picked those 3 fighters to defeat Wlad K. Some other HWs maybe, but Ibrag, TT, & Austin :nut

    Some of the other picks were crazy too. I never thought Atlas was good at picking fight outcomes... I never thought he was this bad.

    Even a chimpanzee could throw banana peels at names on a board and win 50/50.
    Atlas is no expert.

    The thing is Atlas is noway NEAR 50/50.

    He's 25/75 if anything and for a boxing expert, his "reasoning" for certain fighters is bat **** absurd.

    He also picked Darnell Wilson to decision BJ Flores.

    Flores won 9 rounds and took home a UD. To console himself, Atlas scored the fight 115-114 for Wilson.

    To be fair Darnell Wilson is the closest thing FNF HAS to a marquee name..so naturally they're gonna try to back him as much as they can.

    This is too easy. I think Atlas is just stat-padding.

    I know for a fact he always goes against Wlad. But really? Sultan beating Wlad was bad enough. But Thompson beating Wlad? come on. he always pulls for the lefty as well.
