Nothing hypes me more than Teddy raising his voice

[@Mogh]

What a great hour and a half that was. That kind of honesty and insight really has to be respected and appreciated.

[@matthewmccarthy5159]

Thanks for sorting it out guys. Best show ever man!

[@Chief2Moon]

Teddy sure has a knack for stories&plenty of insight. Even those who may dislike him have to admit this much.

[@magnusmagnusson686]

Amazing podcast guys as always!! Quick on the fix time too. Appreciate your guys uploads every week keep bringing the heat

[@joshuastinson3013]

Man despite the fact that teddy can get off on the biggest tangents, I love this podcast and him. He's a real one

[@peterheatliefishingtattooi3364]

I imagine it’s the closest thing we have to listening to Cus. I love those tangents. Not a criticism btw, we clearly both appreciate Teddy.

[@martyrockatansky6557]

thank you gentlemen. can't wait for part III. .the fight never ends.

[@DayMarquez]

Fantastic podcast! These are the types of stories we should hear! The psychology of fighters is so interesting.

[@johncena5299]

Didn’t know much about teddy atlas but he’s earned my respect for what its worth

[@fonezaz1]

Fixed the audio !!!! Thank you !!!

[@Priceluked]

Teddy really does need to give the whole Foreman vs Moorer fight this type of treatment.

[@sonofsammydavis2751]

Very underrated upset.. Love this show

[@greenmountavenue4122]

I'm going to watch the fight again after this.

[@graciejiujitsu407]

The sound quality for this updated version of the podcast was perfect. Thanks for making this correction fellas, as a loyal listener I greatly appreciate it. This podcast is great and I always look forward to hearing what the legendary trainer Teddy Atlas has to say. Best regards, Miguel

[@HeeeeeearMeNow]

These stories are great. This podcast deserves a lot more views.

[@domagojerceg779]

Thank you guys!

[@Mike-we4is]

I couldn't stop watching these life lessons..Thx Teddy and Ken

[@whatever_it_takes6691]

Can Teddy give us some Jim Jacobs stories? I always found him to be a very interesting guy. It's a shame he is not still around.

[@johnnnyoh]

whatever_it_takes ill second that request!

[@eyadjamus3790]

Here here,.I would like that also, plus some Cus D'mato stories too .

[@paleo704]

Jacobs is a fascinating person. Sign me up for that podcast

[@matthewc3394]

Great show.

[@hgkal808]

Bro. This is the part for the Moorer movie. Mike deserves a movie. To me... top 3 LHW of all time. EDIT: I totally get you Teddy. I used to coach a summer league basketball team of 13 & 14 year olds. These kids were from one of the toughest public housing projects. During halftime some of these guys would take a cigarette break. A couple games they came to play with a hangover. At first I kicked em off the team. Then they asked to play again and promised to change. I gave a 2nd chance. They did it again. I figured next that it would be best to let them know I cared. Do your thing but I'll show you some things. If you ever decide to take your game to higher levels try out what I shared with you. If anything share it with your kids one day. We are still quality friends till today.

[@strooomon]

Awesome!!

[@SouthpawLD]

Teddy is one if not the most integral voice in boxing! No sugarcoating.. straight up and down. There's much o learn if one would just listen.

[@christophermoltisanti790]

This PD hits my heart. Love it so much lol

[@wyattrussell7496]

Appreciate the content.

[@wyattrussell7496]

The movie is the tension built before the climax. Teddy is giving away storyboards for free. You can picture him going off on his old trainer, not with the words they had between them, it through what he really wanted to say to everyone at that moment. Then the guy showing up to the room to say congrats, the listener is annoyed with Teddy by that point.

[@raulrios79]

Love his stories!

[@estebananguiano6966]

going to watch the full fight . right now

[@welterskelter]

Love this podcast so much. Why was episode 1 made private? Thank you

[@loveboxinglucky1716]

Youre amazing guys .🖒🖒

[@michaelpaulpadillamdacgrou7904]

I remember some of this and I always liked Michael Moorer, he was extremely talented, it just goes to show how special that someone like Evander Holyfield or Larry Holmes were, because of their complete commitment and how professional they were! Teddy almost willed them to that Championship, Michael Fought the fight but Teddy steadied him and pointed him in the Direction of excellence and he became the best heavy weight boxer on the planet that night and Teddy was the best Trainer! How many People can say that they were the best at anything?

[@shamrockballs1066]

I love listening to Teddy, but Id like him even more if he showed Tyson more respect and gave him the credit he deserves.

[@autokronicles8160]

Tyson got more than enough credit by fans.

[@shamrockballs1066]

the life lessons are beautiful and inspiring from all T.A boxing stories. J.B

Brilliant stories, teddy should write a script to a tv series.

Anyone know the title of the Jack Newfield short story Teddy mentions? I tried looking for "KGB table read" but it turns up nothing.

[@stevecochran2677]

Teddy Atlas is brilliant and a good man.

[@Wheresnorth4romhere]

Teddy reminds me so much of one of my old boxing coaches. At the end of training he would be sat in a chair while we all stood around him as he told a story. We would be all ears but still the whole thing would eventually just fly over all our heads lol 😂😂😂good times! ☘😎

[@salahuddinmuhammad3251]

I would love to hear his thoughts on the Moorer vs Tua fight.

[@SS-iy5zo]

Teddy is an anthropological and social genius

[@michaelmohrle1773]

The best storyteller, Teddy Atlas !

[@sexpanther60ofthetimeitwor93]

God damn he has some great stories this is a must have podcast for a boxing fans great stuff

[@vitalityrules3213]

when it first got brought up in part 1 that Moorer needed a built in excuse if he lost...it made me think of Jon Jones the most dominant fighter mma has ever seen, very cool how they show this clip!

[@clouter8103]

Guys can anyone help please. The song at the end of the podcast, who/what is it? Many thanks in advance for any help. Cheers

Teddy really is a sweetheart of a guy.

[@colincampbell7928]

Not just a trainer, a guide, mentor and psychologist. Cus saw that in Teddy. That movie, is it the one with the greatest actor of all time Gary Busey? Surviving the Game?

[@sirlloyd6386]

I’d love to see Teddy and Kevin Rooney across a table....

[@ericpetersen8155]

Teddy what was the fight when you were in the corner and took out your cell phone and said something about making a call it something like that. I remember that and want to see that again. I’ve met you several times at the Orleans when Nick had the fights there in the 2000’s. I owned a boxing radio show in Vegas back then. Jacob Duran was one of my partners on it. Love all this content. Thx so much!

[@clintbeastwood3797]

He doesn’t even know you exist boy

[@garrettmckean8127]

Clint Beastwood fuck you

[@AgentJ2007]

I read the exchange from his book. He was trying get Moorer to be more assertive. "It's your son on the phone crying," Atlas told the perplexed Moorer. "He said his father doesn't want to be the heavyweight champion anymore."

[@MikeBrownLegend]

Anyone find Ken's voice? I think he may have lost it on Vegas

[@kevinhutchinson9110]

Michael Moorer was probably one of the 3 best Light Heavyweight Champions ever. At Light Heavyweight he walked through everyone in that division like a steam roller. Virgil Hill and Prince Charles Williams wanted no part of him.

[@qbnj806]

Facts

[@threerings1345]

As the fight progressed it was clear that Holyfield was having an issue that was making him slow and lethargic. Moorer was still being so frustratingly cautious rather than pressing the action. At one point between rounds Atlas shouted at Moorer that he was going to let Evander off the hook when something was wrong with the guy and the title was right there for the taking.

[@qbnj806]

[@rstevens7711]

Is this a repeat? I've heard the story before from Teddy about the fighter who partied and claimed not to train and trained secretly.

[@JohnJohn-rg1wk]

Part 1

[@paulcarey191]

if i ever get a pug/bull dog mix - i'm naming him teddy!

[@imhereforthesarcasm8097]

Teddy's cohost is a lead singer in a Misfits cover band. Hence, the reason he is always losing his voice.

[@kenrideout4947]

Haha... I was sick and lost my voice at the AJ / Ruiz fight.... sorry, I know it's hard to listen to.

[@skydog22]

Thanks, I was wondering!

[@imhereforthesarcasm8097]

Stacey McKinley stated a mantra of Jack Johnson for a heavyweight champion, A heavyweight champion only needs to drive fast cars, fuck hot chicks, keep a pocket full of spending cash and knock guy's out. I wonder if Teddy would concur???

[@mjkrbjcw]

Rose lost to Jessica Andrade , both Brazilian but 2 weight classes apart

[@regularstan6212]

Im hear after watching the george foreman fight vs moorer

[@AsifIqbal-kr7mk]

Teddy Teddy oh Teddy this guy doesn't give alot of modern day greats the credit they deserve like Tyson Pacquiao etc although from the boxing technically aspects he does know his stuff...But I can't see getting through today's generation of fighters because he can go on n on n on you need about 5yrs of your life to waste for things to register...I know now why Mike decided to say see ya to him🙄

[@vinceventura4453]

Asif Iqbal lol teddy put a ruger to mikes temple n pulled the hammer back n told him he never wanted to see him around him or his family agian or he’d put him down. So pretty sure teddy left mike there bud.

[@AgentJ2007]

Dude, you don't know shit. He was the one with Tyson during Junior Olympic trials. He knows things that other people don't. He is telling it like it is. If you got a problem with it, that's on you, not him.

if Mills Lane could take something back, I think he'd DQ Tyson on the first bite, not wait for another identical mutilation.so he was great for the most part, but that night, he fucked up, letting a pro sporting event turn into assault because it was a MEGA fight.

[@russlogan181]

Love Teddy but I keep getting sucked in to hear about this fight and it all seems to be about Teddy . Oh well

[@richardwhite8529]

He couldn’t do . Just couldn’t get through a whole hour and a half without saying that Holyfield was too much man for Tyson 😂. What a self centred ego maniac .so going by teddy’s theory of boxing and life, Michael Moorer is just a scared little boy who misses his daddy and David Tua was just Too much man for him . The same as Holyfield and Holmes and Foreman and whoever else beat him . Seriously !! Two and a half hours and he hasn’t spent 10 minutes talking about the fight , the lead up. He just waffles on about his own greatness.

[@abnett41]

Takes forever to get to the point

[@stephenfleming4310]

Looking at HBO tape of this fight, Moorer can't be accused of fighting his heart out, even with Altas ridin' him hard between rounds. Even on this huge night, one need only use his 2 eyes to see Moorer STILL had serious self-motivation issues...right up to the 11th round! Can Teddy, at least, admit that Moorer lucked-out with the decision? It def looks like it could have gone another way any other night.

[@avo4154]

only reason moorer won was bc holyfield wasn't 100% lol we seen how it played out with a fully healthy real deal moorer was a clown who shouldn't have even been a champ
