Dan Rafael, Bernard Osuma and Joe Tessitore respect Wladimir Klitschko, but we all know Teddy Atlas is a notorious Klitschko hater. I'd like to hear a team of Tessitore and Rafael on Saturday.
Probably Atlas, so he can remind us how the arena is not as full as last time and how he does not enjoy Klitschko fights, yet he seems to have no problem cashing the checks for doing his shitty color commentary.
Then I'll have to turn down the volume. I like to hear the crowd's reactions while I'm watching, but when they call a fight from a TV screen in the US instead of being ringside in Germany we can't hear the crowd very well anyway.
No, I've never been in Germany. But I've noticed when I watch the videos of RTL and ARD televised fights, where the commentators are ringside in Germany, I can hear the crowd better than I can when fights in mainland Europe are called from someone watching a TV screen in the USA or the UK. The ESPN crew will not be in Germany, they will be in the USA calling the fight while watching a screen.
If Teddy is commentating I'll have to mute the audio.... Wonder if he's going to pick Leapai????? He's picked against Wlad so many times and so delusional that it wouldn't shock me.
Was so happy Atlas made the decision to stop training Povetkin and lost out on the 10% of of Povetkin's 7million dollar payday. Atlas is the guy who says he has every way possible to beat Klitschko, yet is so content to just sit at ringside doing shitty commentary with the longest delays in dialogue and thought process. To bad Tyson, Foreman, or even Moore; when Teddy sat on his stool, didn't just drop this turd and rearrange his ugly ass face even more. About the only thing I can agree with Atlas on, is his views on rebuilding through the amateurs state side and some kind of sanctioning body or government to help stop these atrocious judging cards, that are hurting boxing so badly.
Expect Teddy to call for an early KO, Wladimir to get off balance at some point in the first rounds, and Teddy to start screaming, "I told you so! I told you so! I said the big man still couldn't take a punch! Not from a man who has nothing but courage and biceps! I told you so!" and then Wladimir knocks Leapai down and out the next round.
Wlad might get pissed off so badly at Teddy that he'll call Briggs to bring him his shoe and make Teddy eat it
