THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas

I’ve been listening to Teddy Atlas for years and have become a disciple of his school of thought. His insight transcends boxing journalism and allows the audience to explore not only the fights themselves from a technical standpoint, but also from a psychological perspective. Understanding what a fighter experiences when they have to “go to the well” or withstand constant pressure from an aggressive fighter will change what you see when you watch your next fight. These bouts can be seen as allegories of human endurance and fortitude. He is able to give voice to something magical in the sport that is often understated, simply because it is so hard to describe. His ability to put these concepts into the context of everyday human experience (such as overcoming trials/tribulations) is also highly motivating and has helped me in my personal life. Every time I watch a fight, I can’t wait to hear Teddy and Ken’s discussion on Tuesday when the episodes are released. My kids (10 and 7 yr olds) even enjoy listening to this podcast while we are driving around doing errands. This is essential listening for any fan of the sweet science!!! Keep up the good work!!!

I expected better from you, Teddy. Unsubscribed.

Why are you ignoring what Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship is doing?

Teddy Atlas’ voice in the world of boxing is nothing short of legendary. I am sure myself and many others wish to have him commenting on the fight game for eternity. The dynamic between these two is great, with Ken keeping things on track and playing off Teddy while he drops those signature nuggets of NY boxing wisdom that you only get from a lifetime commitment to the sport. We all know who the real King of Staten Island is!
