Teddy Atlas fires up Timothy Bradley with awesome corner speech (Video)
Timothy Bradley’s ninth-round knockout victory over Brandon Rios on Saturday night was an awfully one-sided affair that wasn’t much to write home about. Fortunately, Bradley’s new cornerman Teddy Atlas provided all the entertainment the evening needed.
Atlas, the legendary trainer-turned-TV analyst, returned to the corner over the weekend to advise Bradley in his WBO welterweight title defense against Rios and proceeded to steal the show with an absolutely epic speech in between rounds.

I just leapt off my couch and started shadow boxing in my living room.
Can I get a textual visualization of that magnificence?
“The fire’s coming. Are you ready for the fire. We’re firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN!!! The heat doesn’t bother us!! We live in the heat!! We train in the heat!! It tells us that we’re ready! We’re at home! We’re where we’re supposed to be! Flames don’t intimidate us! What do we do?! We control the flames!! We control them!! We move the flames!!”
-Teddy Atlas
Teddy’s still got it, folks. Jonny Gomes, eat your heart out.
