Teddy he got you, you were faked out. we all have mental issues

[@ScottHebert604]

i think ryan had some real issues and rose to the occasion

[@Ferrucci_1666]

Teddy you sound so dam envious and butt hurt over Ryan beating the hell out of Haney.

[@da9413]

Teddy , you were wrong, Be the man you profess to be and admit to it.

[@kajinixon5703]

People don't realize how good Ryan Garcia is... he only has one loss by a fighter who has beaten everyone else.no one at 140 is beating him not even Gervonta wouldn't have had it not been for the weight drain idea.... Davis knew what he was doing.. Teddy Atlas is biased towards Devin Haney..

[@user-xk9yx2dl9t]

Yeah, so people are saying after the fight that Haney is overrated, but imo it's more that Garcia is underrated.

[@tyriqueknowles2448]

Slow your roll buddy, Ryan is going to have to improve his head movement, phillyshell,defense, jab, fighting on the inside, his discipline to make weight before he's going to be capable of beaten everyone at 140. Saturday was cool but he's going to need more against those other top guy's.

[@williamcummings9125]

Didn't respect weight limit, didn't respect no PEDs. I agree with the weight drain giving Gervonta a significant advantage, but something felt off with that Haney fight, now we know why

[@reviewforthetube6485]

He faked part of it but some of it is real for sure lol Also if he had issues isnt it better to get it out instead of hold it in? You were just thinking as a fighter like oh he may lose being in there. Lol

[@jasontheworldisyours]

This Garcia would still lose to Tank but with Ryan fighting Haney 6 times before this was the perfect opponent for these types of antics

[@wupapi39]

Tank isn’t gonna fight him at 140, 147 or anywhere outside the Very specific circumstances they fought the first fight. That’s the truth Ana that’s also completely fine because they’re not the same size…weight classes exist for reasons. Tank would beat anything Joshua and Tyson fury at 135 too

[@Danny-sd5vm]

What the hell is Teddy going on about? Does he know that Ryan won?

[@underworldringside]

Irrelevant

[@johnnie1247]

Teddy,love you dude,keep the great thoughts and knowledge coming 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Melinda_B62]

I’ve never paid attention to Garcia’s social media, I love watching boxing matches so I target in on his boxing skills - it cannot be denied that he did a great job dominating Haney in that fight. After hearing his Rogan interview, I’m more impressed with him as a person due to his plans he discussed to do what he can to help kids. He will have a huge, important future ahead of him IF he keeps focused & his head on straight.

[@fauxmiragepaint]

Now with the dirty blood test, Teddy has been redeemed completely.

[@CheetahSportsVids]

We expressed similar sentiments in our video prior to the fight but didn't see the completely dominant performance coming!

[@georgecoull1883]

Love from Pittsburgh Teddy

[@ovieebreme2869]

" I need to see the results of the drug test for this fight!" - Teddy Atlas (on this episode) Teddy was damn right! Only Teddy mentioned probability of drug use (in this episode). Everyone else was carried away by the result. Looks like a Ben Johnson (Seoul'88 100m athletic drug cheat) moment in Boxing!

[@Riles3152]

I wasn't. I was impressed by Ryan's performance, but I still couldn't give him full respect because of intentionally missing weight and disrespecting the sport. Now comes this? I now have no respect for Garcia's win and even MORE respect for Haney for having the heart to endure the clear advantage of a possible cheater and lasting the full 12 rounds.

[@danielsaavedra252]

​@@Riles3152😂

[@daniro2k]

You called it teddy u knew Somthn was up. You knew he was on PEDS - u no that’s what got him out of fear & into that ring - u just didn’t want to accuse him just yet- but when u asked to see those post fight text results I said teddy sees what I see - he’s on PEDs

[@yahyes]

You can say any boxer has issues, Teddy. But Ryan Garcia feels upon it. He’s a fighter you want to see in the ring again!

[@iuhoskalman]

You misread this real bad Teddy!

[@IPGreenhouse]

Everyone is focused on the wrong thing including Teddy. Everyone talking about how Devin showed such heart. And how Ryan shocked the world. It wasn't Ryan that shocked the world. We knew he was a big puncher already and we knew he was fearless. What shocked the world was the poor quality of Devin Haney no power no toolbox all show and no pony that's what shocked the world.

[@PassionateSpirit88]

Maybe it was just in case he lost he had a backup plan that he was going crazy and if he won he could say he planned it and lookslike a genius

[@strider-pubgmobile757]

teddy is spot on. His mental state was in a desperate state. Yes he did lean into it and yes he did have the performance of his life. But he defo wasnt faking crazy

[@underworldringside]

Agree

[@TRONMAGNUM2099]

Teddy is right. I think Ryan does have some issues. It seems the lead up to this fight exacerbated his issues even more. Inside the ring seems to be his calm place. The instinct, training and muscle memory takes over. He has the potential to be a massive crossover star and he knows that so the pressure is even greater on him to look spectacular every fight.

[@user-xk9yx2dl9t]

He said after the fight he has ADHD.

[@yashastudio]

I don't see the contradiction. Contradictions are part of human behaviour. Garcia had his issues and he also pulled off an act. Just like Ali before the first Liston fight. Ali pulled off an act and also admitted years later that it was the last time he was afraid before entering a ring. It is so simplistic and superficial to decide it is one of two options instead of a combination of the two.

[@jesusjaimevargas2928]

Garcia is just genius He fooled guy like this trainer Make a lot of money taking a lot of risk. This is maybe the future of boxing This guy is just old fashioned.

[@user-jb1mq9zv2k]

The man played nuts and then made odds against him then when it’s profitable he bet 2 million on himself and got 12 million 😮

[@zenf1sh]

I agree with Teddy. When a guy acts that crazy there is something wrong.

[@leestrawberryfields...]

Dark rituals at Bohemian Grove. This does happen on a regular basis. What did he say that's crazy?

[@Isreal_666]

Do you know who is Diddy and his relation with Haney, Teddy?

[@NCSheriff7]

great observation and analyse, couldn't described it better

[@Robbie-xs8qj]

Yeah i thought the exact same thing, its scary enough transitioning from childhood to adulthood as a man, and he was doing it with the entire boxing world watching and criticizing him.

[@williamcummings9125]

No, we didn't, Teddy. Those roids had him acting very erratic. The man had 0 respect for weight limits and ped laws, no wonder he won in such devastating fashion.

[@YerrNYC]

I think there’s a controlled chaos going on with Garcia. Loose attitude, but not necessarily stupid. We can’t ignore his talent and grit especially after the Haney bout. He danced on him. The ‘all or nothing’ mentality is working in his favor for now…It’s like Jon jones admitting he would get fucked up a week before his title fights..if he loses he has a reason to lean on..Garcia is going all or nothing and we’re seeing a very entertaining prime

Teddy, LET IT GO! you got played by a kid. Move along lol, we call it TROLLING by the way 😂

[@MichaelGalt]

I'm not going to lie - I fully believed he was legitimately crazy.... and my mother was legitimately crazy. That being said... he claims he did it so he would be the massive underdog... and bet on himself. If he genuinely was making it all up.... it was a brilliant act and ploy. I guess we'll see in the next couple of years...

[@letitiamcculley9311]

Garcia, Davis and Mayweather what an embarrssement to US boxing. The World is laughing at US boxing and they want to call themselves MEN. what a joke

[@DirtyMac5151]

I dont think he was scared but I do think he has a few screws loose.

Do you support tsahal Teddy?

So all that stuff he was saying about child trafficking and wrongness. Was he joking because that ain't funny.

[@alcrooks9095]

Nice nice word salad Teddy!!! Teddy still having trouble coming to terms with the fact that Ryan duped him and everybody else in the dumbass boxing community😂😂😂😂

[@Mr.CEO888]

Once Ryan feels that feels Tank’s power again it’s a wrap. Once you quit it’s easier for you to quit again. 🤷🏽

[@user-xk9yx2dl9t]

i doubt he will ever fight Tank again. After the Haney fight, Garcia said he can't even make 140 pounds.

[@qpfj]

😂 come on Teddy, Ryan fooled all of us. Just eat crow like I did. Nobody will bet 2 million on themselves if they are loco in the cabeza and think they are gonna lose. Stop with the analyzing or you will need therapy or maybe you should.😮

[@michaelhoganmusic]

teddy insinuating Garcia cheated now!? man this is bad old man. You are a coward.

[@Mr.CEO888]

Ryan is scared of that little guy Tank.

[@KennethDuff-hj8ig]

Even if he is scared , he still fought. Thats what a man does. Im not a ryan garcia fan. But i also am a boxer, and i have respect for anyone who gets in the ring and puts the gloves on and fights. But ill let you know a little secret.... Every fighter has fear! Every fighter knows that feeling of axiety and nervousness. But even so that dont stop a fighter from doing what has to be done. I bet tank is also just as scared. Even mike tyson was scared before his fights.

[@Mr.CEO888]

@@KennethDuff-hj8ig Trust me, I know it takes balls and guts to get in the boxing ring. 99% of the people on earth wouldn’t do it. But Ryan is just going overboard for someone who quit. Haney took a big shots, was hurt but didn’t quit. Ryan quit from a body shot that he could have gotten up from. He stayed down for the count because he was afraid. So now he’s talking a lot of trash. Naw bruh, you quit, you wasn’t hurt bad enough to quit we all seen you wasn’t hurt enough to have to stop.

[@user-xk9yx2dl9t]

@@Mr.CEO888 How do you know how badly that liver shot affected him? It's not like liver shots haven't stopped other fighters.

this has been the most unprofessional response to a fight from a platform like this in a long time if not ever. Teddy lost more then money, he lost his clout and hes drowning like a rat trying to reframe everything he stood for 2 weeks ago.
