Teddy obsessed once again with "distance" tonight...

When's the last time you watched a fight on FNF in which Teddy didn't drone on and on constantly about one guy not fighting at the right distance. I wonder if Teddy's ever fought 12 rounds straight moving around the ring on the "outside." It tends to make you tired. Either way, Teddy seems to have nothing to talk about except "geography."

 

Fuck Teddy Atlas.

 

wait for him to sneak in his "national boxing commission" agenda in between the commentary....it never fails

 

Where's Muzse? He does the best Teddy impression. ::

 

Monday came early, you punk

 

The most annoying thing about Teddy is that he seems to think Oscar is Italian. DI La Hoya.::

 

Teddy is a pain in the ass. Period. Has he mentioned Commissioner Ray Kelly yet??

 

:: I noticed on Saturday that Merchant still calls Margarito, "Margarita".

 

Its only natural for Larry to be looking ahead to what he's gonna do after the telecast, so of course he calls him Margarita.::

 

oquendo's gotta be the sloppiest and shittiest fighter in the sport. he's awful. how anyone would put him on tv is beyond me. ha ha. and castillo damn near ko'd his ass in the last round. ::

 

I'm watching this on delay right now. So I'm still on the Edourd vs. Albert fight. When did Teddy get the idea that Daniel Edourd is an outside sharpshooter? :dunno:

Edourd has never fought off an opponents chest in his entire career and all of a sudden Teddy thinks he's going to change his style because he's yelling at him about his distance.

Teddy just yelled at Edourd as I type. "What are you doing at close quarters with Albert!".

WTF Teddy. You've done like 5 of this guys fights at least. That's not his style.

 

Teddy Atlas is contractually obligated to use atleast 5 of these 7 phrases in every fight:

"He needs to fight tall."

"He needs to be all the way in or the all the way out. If he's in the middle, that's no-man's land."

"As the smaller man, he needs to walk through a bad neighborhood to get to where he wants to be."

"If he's smart, he'll go to the body now."

"He has a habit of pulling straight back."

"You see, I told you so!"

"The commissioner in the state of [insert state] is [insert name]"

 

Distancing is important though. :doh:

 

:bears:

 

::

 

The phrase I always associate with Atlas is "silent contracts"...he loves saying that.

 

"No man's land!"

edit: you got that one in there.. has to be one of the most annoying of all

 

Yep. Very annoying commentator and OVERRATED in every way imaginable.

As annoying, one-dimensional and predictible as Teddy Atlas is, however, he's still lightyears better than a particular British boxing commentator called Reg Gutteridge. Now THAT guy would make you sick.
