    Can you imagine Jim Watt or Johnny Nelson defending a losing fighter like this?

    And i'm not bashing Nelson and Watt i'm just admiring Atlas' passion for the fairness of the sport.

    Atlas got a little excited there. But a more interesting point was Atlas challenging the "official" over the rules. ****, at least Atlas knows how to score a fight.

    I love Teddy Atlas. I don't always agree with him in fact there are certain things in his book that make me think what a ****, but there's no doubting the guys love of the sport and his sheer passion.

    This was a bad robbery to be fair to teddy, i watched the fight and scored it 97-92 agustus. The referee was terrible aswell, i remember him taking a point off agustus for just for spinning slightly out of a clench. The ref called a bodyshot knockdown by Agustus a low punch to. They wouldnt let him win that night.

    Atlas is having a giggle. I scored it a majority decision, 98-91 Burton.

    If his book is anything to go by Atlas is an unstable, emotionally ******ed *****

    It reminds me of one or two nights on Setanta...nights when the truth was raw and I let go with two barrels! The knuckle rap came the next day!

    Adios.

    Yep, remember those nights...

    Hate the way TV companies try to tell everyone they're watching something special when anyone who knows their stuff knows its shite :roll:

    Reason why I no longer watch football on TV...
