Teddy Atlas on Face-to-Face Meeting w/ Tyson Years After Gun Incident, Tyson Apologizing (Part 14)

[@rob88142004]

Got to meet Teddy Atlas in Las Vegas at a fight for Espn’s Friday Night fights. I walked up to him introduced myself and thanked him for all he’s done for the sport of boxing. I put my hand out to shake his and he pulled me in for a hug. Teddy is really a good guy, sure he might have some demons in his closet just like the rest of us but Teddy is the real deal. I’ll always appreciate that time.

[@meko264]

I felt like he did what was necessary. Tyson was 15 and the girl was 11. It wasn't like he could threaten Tyson physically. He never tried to get Tyson cancelled, he just said what he needed to in order to defend his own actions.

[@SonnyListon-e3x]

He felt your half chub

[@Colby_0-3_IRL_and_title_fights]

I hope Teddy goes on Mike's podcast and they finish it for good

[@AliFrankTheTank]

seems unlikely. Think it’s more tension from when Francis chose Tyson over him for trainer.

[@jasonnelson6624]

It would never happen. Just because teddy already felts Tyson used a public arena to apologize and to improve his public image.

[@matt1978]

I dont, they apologized and the chapter was closed, they don't need to be friends, closure was enough

[@meko264]

He should just leave it alone. Either one of them could get cancelled depending on what details about the incident become mainstream.

[@jasonnelson6624]

As an Australian i loved how he told Jeff Horn to hes face right after the fight with Pacman that he lost ,he looked him in the eye and told him the truth ,we all knew we were all kidding ourselves we were all patting Jeff on hes back but he needed to hear the TRUTH ,thankyou Teddy

You can always tell that Teddy hasn't forgiven Mike fully. It's really painful to listen to him. Just say you're grateful, and that's it.

[@Donnelius]

There's clearly still animosity there towards Mike, its been clear throughout the whole interview and atleast Teddy owns up to it, kinda. It would be interesting if Teddy had a real sit down with Mike on his Podcast, or even privately. They are both quite complex individuals... alot of hurt and Pain.

[@kings17court]

For sure. Sometimes he tries, but you can just tell. It's pretty obvious. Doesn't make Teddy a bad guy, though.

[@j04370859]

Mike probably feels bad for what he did, but I wouldn't get over having a gun pulled on me either.

[@gregoryphillips3969]

Don't you think it's great that Teddy Atlas is not a phony?. He's not going to lie about things no matter how big or small. That's an admirable trait to say what one truly feels and consequences be dawned. Atlas has lived in the public eye in a tough profession. Just to be able to navigate all of that and come out the other side is something to be proud of.

[@brob8204]

It takes a tough guy like this to do the good works that he's doing, and he answered the call. Thanks, Teddy.

Like who. Yeah right I don't know one fighter this dude made from scratch and I do not accredit him with Tyson rooney and atlas not so much rooney but atlas was just a younger body to listen to what cus wanted him to do as far as training he wasn't lead , captain or none of that cus was very old and frail by the time Tyson came around so he couldn't physically do the drills so that's was atlas and rooney . The younger bodies to follow his method

Sounds to me like hatred for Tyson has an IMPORTANT role in Teddy's life...which is why he can NEVER let it go...Even after Tyson apologised ... He NEEDS the hate.

[@carlobella1850]

I agree.. it’s not healthy for him. He needs to let it go and he just can’t. I think Mike is genuinely a different person now.

[@meko264]

That's a far stretch to say he hates Tyson, given what Tyson did. Tyson was young, but he was old enough to know what he was doing. Teddy's family would have never looked at him the same had he let it slide.

[@KingStreetBrody]

It’s not that simple. He was protecting his family.

[@roibrycker8897]

At least Mike not only apologize he did it in a semi public fashion, and nowadays, with all the reality TV, and how fake everyone is, it was not only a good moment for Mike and Teddy, but also the world to see as an example of something real ,honorable and how ppl should conduct themselves !

[@jasonnelson6624]

Well that is one of Teddy's issues was because it was public. He has said before on top of questioning if Tyson did it only because of the recovery program. He felt with it being public Tyson could use that to improve his public image. I feel teddy wouldn't really trust or accept Tyson's apology regardless of how he did it.

[@jasonnelson6624]

Just to add, knowing the stuff does for people and without any recognition. I personally agree with you and don't think it was for any other reason then to say sorry.

[@Mrgood189]

If tyson wanted to be real about it, he called him and done it off TV and mainstream media.

[@notaspeck6104]

@@Mrgood189 He wasn't on TV, they weren't on speaking terms and Tyson saw him in person. Why would he not go and apologise, maybe it was a spur of the moment decision and maybe it took a lot to work up to. Point is you don't know, and neither do I. Only person who knows is Tyson and maybe Atlas, who himself said you can't really question those things. You either accept it or you don't.

I cannot stand that "you think you're better than us" accusation unless the person truly has stated that this is what they think. Vlad, great interview. I look forward to the complete interview. Thank you for giving this man enough respect to speak and tell his story virtually uninterrupted. His boxing analysis and insight is rare in the sport these days and for years I admired him for saying what he thinks and what it is on the air while commentating for ESPN. I watched this man correct a judge on calling a fight a majority decision a split decision (if memory serves me correctly). He spoke to the judge about the rules and got him to admit the mistake on the air. He would speak up about skewed decisions, other commentators making off comments, among other things. I'm not so much into the drama, but I appreciated watching and listening to him support his claims and arguments. Atlas is a hall of famer indeed. Aside from Teddy Atlas, Max Kellerman is about the only other commentator (with whom I am familiar) who is not an-ex professional boxer whose commentary and analysis that I respect and look forward to listening to.
