    His unprofessional and too obvious bias against these unhyped
    european fighters, and his conclusive statements coupled with
    the yelling and screaming with the egg all over his face over
    being completely wrong over and over again. It's becoming
    embarrasing, like a senile old man with nothing insightful to say.
    He's angry, overly opinionated, mean spirited and he clearly
    doesn't know what he's talking about. Time for ESPN to pull him
    out before he pulls an "Oooohhh grandpa" and completely makes
    FnF irrelevant.

    He really pissed all over a really good fight card that the euro
    fighters, he has such contempt for, clearly carried tonight.

    He's just doing the wrong kind of fights. He'd be great for cage fighting.

    Teddy was awesome tonight. I admire his tenacity and his passion. When Teddy goes into that scream voice it cracks me up!

    Long Live Teddy, imbecile and all

    Come to think about it.......

    Teddy has always had a bias against Euro fighters.

    Early in the Klitschkos careers he was constantly dissecting them and criticizing them.

    But........

    If he picks against them in every fight.....he's GOING TO BE RIGHT about 30% of the time.:yep

    Agreed, by the 3rd fight his voice was really grating on me along with all the false predictions and inane observations. I love how he "predicted" a Campillo knockout only to be proven wrong with the fight ending in a Fonfara ko. Almost made me happy I didnt mute the broadcast.

    I don't care about his dementia, he entertains and surprisingly he seemed to even warm up to Szpilka

    Atlas is hyper opinionated. Some like the passion, others detest the bias. He'd be much better if he resisted making his gut feelings and pre judgements known to the audience prematurely and just stick to objective analysis until the fight ends. He likes the I told you so, guru/prophet role,which very often leaves him with egg on his face like tonight. The first Szpilka fight was the same story. He basically called Szpilka soft seconds before Szpilka decapitated Mollo.

    Teddy was right Spilzka was like a polished up shinny used car. It looks great, and in amazing shape, then you take it out and the engine blows up when you are leaving the lot.

    Leave Teddy alone. We need color and excitement in the commentating booth.

    But the problem is that alot of these Euro-guys coming over here, Polish fighters in particular get VERY well treated by the boxing Establishment.

    Teddy's aware of the fact that these shows are set up to take advantage of the large Polish diaspora in Chicago, and more often than not the American fighter gets treated as 2nd hand..
    Even in Mike Mollo's hometown he gets outshouted by his fellow countrymen cheering for their.. Polish cousins?!!

    Atlas always picks against the Klitschkos. Atlas said that Kirk Johnson would knock Vitali Klitschko out with one punch, but Vitali knocked Johnson out in the second round!!!!!!!
