Have Mike on the podcast.
I think he's genuinely sorry. Tyson is a wise man but a very flawed wise man. He's the type to act and not give a f in any given moment. I wish him the best and he has grown as a human being.
I dont remember exactly what happend was it not something to do with a woman connected to teddy or Cus? I know I heard it before but life is short , rebuild bridges if they are worth it , if you have made mistakes and you know inside yourself you did wrong and have denounced that behaviour then there is always a chance.
A genuine apology is valuable but very rare
Amen
@@20FreeWill it involved Teddy's daughter, and was pretty early in Tyson's career. Essentially Teddy told him if he tried something like that again, he'd be shot
You did the right thing Teddy. You accepted a legit apology. Good man.
it doesnt matter if tyson was sincere or not, what matters is that Teddy Atlas was and he was. Same as when a beggar asks you for money and you give it to them to help them not knowing if they are going to buy drugs or booze with it or not. You gave to help them, its on them if they are telling the truth or not.
Teddy should have been the one apologising for pulling a gun on a child for flirting with a child. The Mike and his niece thing was stupid because she was 11 and Mike was 13 and Teddy atlas took it to far and there’s a lot more to it like he wanted to take Mike from Cus at the time.
@@Rogue1867 Using a gun was the wrong move on Atlas part. But flirting with a girl is telling her she's pretty and asking her out on a date. Tyson groped a girl who hadn't even gone through puberty yet. If a gay dude groped you I doubt you'd call that flirting.
@@ravilution there was like a few years between them and he was that young I’m sure he didn’t know much himself it was harmless not he didn’t grab her or that
@@Rogue1867 Mike wasn't 13, he was 16 and his niece was ~12.
Teddy was rightfully pissed off. Sure, he overreacted but still.
having watched hours of Tyson in the last 15 years, I am convinced Tyson was not only sincere, he is a genuinely changed man.
Agree.
probably age and getting humbled some time ago changed the man
for the better
@@lordkira9791 that and the DMT/Toad experience..
@@morelife6508 Bingo!
A young boy of 20 full of rage that can literally not be imitated after all these years with a fame like no other because of TVs explosive growth of course he was enstranged. Teddy realizes this he looks straight down when totally sincere. Even on the clip of them hugging any man can tell he asked for a shake gave him a dap then a firm handshake to a hug because the apology was accepted and real then back to a dap to confirm the bond.
Mike apologised for one reason only: because he meant it. There is no other reason why Mike Tyson would have done it, he's one real dude.
convicted sexoffender...
David, I agree! Tyson seems like a real dude.
A real dude who committed a rape and bit a fighter's ear off. Real stand up guy. Unreal.
If you know the man Mike Tyson is today, you know it was most heartfelt and sincere.
Mike’s apology was definitely sincere.
Mike Tyson is living proof that ANYONE can redeem themselves ✌🏾
tell that to the girl he raped you wouldnt like the answer and thats just what he got done for he admitted to doing 5 crimes worse than that rape according to mike tyson it makes me sick that people glorify such a despicable person and give him a free pass cuz he could box try talking to victims of rape with their serious mental issues that never leave them and say cuz he stopped raping hes ok, he threatened man rape on multiple people through his career and i will never forget the sick look on tyson face after ripping holyfields ear off the man is deranged and only multiple meds keep him out of prison
You don't know that man. All you know is what they tell you.
@@kekejohnson687 Yeah we don't know him, but he proved himself to change himself for the better. Actions speak louder than words
proof that psychedelics can improve anybody if they do it non-recreationally
@@startorfinishits not that shit that changed mike his perspective on life just did 180
watch Mike close his eyes when they hug, he meant that shit 100%
He’s completely changed his life and his way of thinking . He truly meant that apology just as you said.❤️
People questioning if he was sincere? When does any guy apologize on his own accord if he's not sincere? It wasn't a court order or something.
Yes ! Mike didn't do it for a tv moment . He was legit in the apology . I think deep down he likes Teddy as much as a trainer , ans he did Rooney . You can tell Teddy meant a lot to him
Daniel LaDue well, he admired on Oprah that he didn’t mean his original apology to Holyfield... So 🤷🏽♂️Edit: I think this apology was sincere, though
Pretty sure the last time they hugged is when Cus was alive. Its deeper than what it is that we can see.
Judge Judy would hold Atlas in contempt for never getting to the point.
Was thinking that same thing jus now so started reading the comments.. and here we are
Teddy Atlas is so so wordy trying to get tv moments. Jesus !!!!!!! I always thought he hated on mike for a long time. He still hates on him a little. You can tell.
Hahaha 😂
Honestly like listening to a mum tell a story
Hilarious
I always get emotional seeing two people reconcile their differences. That's a great thing to see in people as a humanitarian.
"Oh look at me I'm a humanitarian I only eat human meat ooowee I'm no quirky"
That's what you sound like
@@karebushmarebu233you're projecting your insecurities on youtube comments :)
Mike is really making peace..... goto respect his efforts 2 due what he feels is right... major Kudos 2 u champ!!
I asked Teddy "what time is it"? He told me how to build a clock.
🤣 hahahahaha classic
This cracked me up! After he finishes telling you how to build a clock for 9:11 minutes he then tells you what time it was 9:11 ago which burns another 10 seconds.
LOL!!!
😂😂😂😂
Hahaha
I bet it was eating away at Mike's soul after all these years. To apologize and be forgiven, he was finally set free. 👍
was he teddy acted like an ignorant prick ... hardly gave mike the time of day
Absolutely!
@@Khaos969 well Teddy is also human. Lot to process also under the circumstances of calling a fight. Now that you hearing it from his own words, he put it behind him and let it go.
@@Khaos969 I feel you dont know why teddy is so mad.
Kyle Kyle I don’t
There is a wiseness in Teddy I've never fully appreciated before watching this. To some people watching, he's just droning on about a simple thing. But these people cannot hear what he is saying. He speaks from the heart, and is committed to sharing his insight into life 100%
I’ve always been a huge fan of Atlas, because he does just that, real and doesn’t mince words. A Rare quality nowadays.
Reiterates something my dad said to me many times. If you are in the wrong, forget your pride, all the stubbornness, admit you’re in the wrong and apologise, never be afraid to say you’re sorry. Regardless what it is, you apologise, thinking about it hurts more than saying it, and once it’s said, 9 times out of 10, you will be embraced & everything is good again.
I agree. There’s real wisdom in that.
Your ego is not your amigo...
F that , you'll only fall out again at some point us humans don't change 😂
Very true my friend, I used one to be a person full of pride, but today iam changed, you gain so much peace when you swallow your pride and apologize. ❤.
The old Tyson is long dead. He's a real man now and how many interviews does it state he HATES what he was. I would think it was a real apology.
He was a kid when it happened like early teens get a grip
@@allisnotwhatitseems. u part of the problem and second Tyson himself was thirteen or fourteen he wasn't much older but I bet if people look into your life we will find a ton of immoral behavior that you did as a adult much less your childhood I shiva at the thought
@@phillmaximush2249 True. I think he was 23 when he was convicted of rape tho.
@William Lacombe I have made a lot of mistakes in my life. But raping an 18-year-old girl when I was 22 (not 14 or 15), slandering her with the help of a vile anti-semite like Farrakhan, and never accepting responsibility for the crime -- which, despite my top legal team and the difficulty of proving rape charges beyond reasonable doubt -- for which I was convicted is thankfully not among them. Because I couldn't live a single day with that on my conscience. Desiree Washington. The world of boxing, including the "respectable" boxing media, has forgotten the name, but I haven't.
@William Lacombe Something is only 'alleged' until the perpetrator is convicted by a jury of his or her peers in court. If such exculpatory facts exist, why has he not been exonerated or appealed to clear his name?
Typical Teddy fashion, it takes him 10 minutes to say something that any mortal man would take about 10 seconds to say.
lmfao
He has the time for it
lmfaooo he always starts a long ass story
"gift" of gab
@@khanf13 no, the story here was.. he was sitting there doing the commentary for a boxing match mike came to say he was sorry and admited he was wrong
Teddy always been a stand up guy, I'm glad to see Mike make peace with people he hurt. Respect
Teddy knows how to tell a story. He makes you feel like your actually there.
He has that gift
Lol
Most Italians are great story tellers
@@jamisona.5639 Atlas isn't Italian
@@timetraveler2649 Lazy assumption on my part..I see he's hungarian/Jewish/Irish..thank you for correcting me.
I was watching he fights and saw it live. It was a surreal moment. Mike has been trying hard for years to be a good man and I am sure his apologizing to Teddy was one of steps who knew that he can take to complete his journey. God bless Teddy and Mike. I wish them both happiness.
@Ian Dixon Yeah. The 'asking for forgiveness' step..it's where a lot of people falter at it actually because just up until you havn't shown any memory about the events you just think that if you don't speak it might not be so...the fucking guilt that hits you like a train around that step, a lot of people can't accept and get over the guilt of what they became in the midst of addiction and it really has the ability to make/break you. It's why a lot of people dont believe in the12 steps..i just say whatever gets you through the night..we're al so original that there is no 'one size fixes us all'...your pride is beating at the back door, but it's not an optional disease; it must live with you, might as well try it with a clear conscience✌
same here
The other half of an apology is forgiveness.
Forgiveness is as crucial to the wounded person as an apology is to the betrayer.
Without forgiveness, apology or not, you remain tied to the wound and those that wounded you.
Rip Cus D’Amato
Mike's True Father!!
"I dont want to alarm you, but Mike Tyson's behind you" if that was the 1980s, even Freddy Krueger would have been terrified to hear that.
Mike was behind Teddy when he was commentating. Great producer told Teddy that Mike was behind him. Teddy stood and turned around, shook mike's hand and mike said he was sorry that he was wrong. Teddy felt that Mike was sincere. The end.
You should do a podcast together. It would be really interesting for the fans.
Get Rooney on aswell
Best idea
I said this very thing to hot boxing wen they asked who they shuld have on the podkast
Tax-bitchass biyatch why?
Hell yeah
Takes real courage to ask for forgiveness and to forgive. Awesome story!
1) I love Teddy and Mike both Im so glad they reconciled. You can see how moved Teddy was when referencing the passing of the producer and when discussing Tyson saying “I’m sorry”.
It took Teddy so long because it really did mean something to him. Deep down, it was a special moment for him. This kid that he spent all his time with and knew so well had become a stranger because of a disagreement. Years later, the kid is a man and comes back to see him to apologise. It's like the prodigal son has returned. Deep down, Teddy loved that kid...he was humbled...
A disagreement??????? That's what you call that?????
I think you should read up on what happened, disagreement is not the right word.
Coming back to tell our elders they were right. And to tell them the trials and tribulations we’ve been thru. To see all the accomplishments the young man they raised.
Amazing feeling seeing ur flock flourish
@@kwrbt2979 he grabbed his niece's ass. Outta line fore sure. Not the end of the world.
I coach kids myself and the connection you feel to them is father like. If they win , you win , and if they lose you lose. I sometimes find it hard to control my emotions after hard fights. They will have been so close at one time and it was great to see Tyson recognise that.
Mike has grown as man, and father. This brings me joy in trying times.
me too man,me too👍
And he's still fit af. No accuse to be lazy
you should read the zerohedge stuff, using the Tyler Durden name. Conspiratorial economics.
Mike has become a man, from being a wounded soul.
Beautiful comment man 👍
I don’t know if you can ever forgive the things he done? I know he’s changed but the things he done are unforgivable
Just bury the hatchet, and join forces. For Cus and peace of mind.
How would Teddy's sister/family feel about it? Think about that.
💯
Sum Ting Wong it was 40 years ago and Mike apologised I don’t think they hate him anymore
I hope Teddy see this and takes it to heart.
@@Sum_Ting_Wong 14 years old...
Nothing is gonna be able to erase the history and the bond you both had, not only as teacher & student , but also as 2 pupils of the great D’amato. I’m happy for you both. If we can’t outgrow the sins of our younger years, then life would be tragic indeed.
It depends on the sin
I respect Mike a great deal, he was sincere. Thank you Teddy for sharing.
"Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who trespass against us", has meaning and purpose and takes a real man to forgive.
you ever had someone plan on you forgiving them though? like they do some evil shit and figure youll get over it
@@qubicracks6386 most of the time forgiving isn’t for them it’s for you
I know it probably wont ever happen but id love to see Teddy on Mike's podcast remembering cus and the old times
That last part when he said “you can say it don’t mean nothing, but it meant something , I appreciated it” speaks volumes. Teddy a real gentleman.
This is a good moment. Well done to both of you for making up. 👍🥊
The power of forgiveness is a beautiful thing! I remember watching that live and to me that was incredible to watch and genuine on both sides.
Takes a REAL MAN to say he was wrong and apologize! Much RESPECT to Iron Mike Tyson!
Wow!! Have followed Mike since I was a kid. If you've been a long time fan you know that he has totally changed. That was since!! Beautiful moment between these two men!
That is really sweet. My appreciation of Tyson has grown over the years. He really has tried to turn a lot around, and that I actually can respect. I get how Teddy must of felt about all of it, it must have been really hard on him. This is nice :)
Teddy has to be in Mike's corner for his next fight/ exhibition
Thumbs up to bring back teddy & Mike
R.i.p cus the legend
That would be a legendary moment to see
Mike Tyson's story is inspirational.
He came from nothing, became something, became nothing .... but became something again.
That takes something.
Not many people, starting with his childhood, would have done any better.
Judge ye not.....
Very well said!
LoL he never became nothing. He just had some low points and rose from them to his better self.
@@KenJuKai1 heavyweight champ of the world...at 20yrs old.
You show me a BADDER man than him.
IN REAL LIFE!
He is a rapist you idiot.
@@gregoryingram7561 So ignore that he raped a 15 year old girl?
Tyson has came such a long way and has matured into one of the most compassionate,genuine and big hearted person and matured so much mentally and I’m happy for his happiness.god bless the brother
Nice story. I like how he explained his emotions. I feel he's a very sincere guy.
Look at that hug... Tyson imagined that moment a thousand thousand times before it happened. IT DID MEAN SOMETHING TEDDY!
Wouldnt that be a movie ending if teddy atlas trains and is in mike tysons corner for his comeback fight
Teddy's a bit of a hater in that regard
lol that would be insane. and if he actually won.
Rob Reeves Nah. If an older kid tries to talk to your younger niece. There will always be hard feelings tbf
@@AKBOXING-13-1 he has talked shit about tyson career on jre. Seems bitter
Rob Reeves not really anyone with some sense wouldnt want to see him back in the ring and teddy truthfully talked about tyson’s losses on jre you the one that seems bitter
You’re a beautiful man Teddy, so is Mike. This interview is touching and makes me proud of Mike and shows how big of a man you are as well to accept his apology.
Like wise men said it takes a genuine man to come and apologize,but it also takes a tremendous man to accept it.I love both Mike & Teddy 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽very much
This shit brought tears to my eyes, they both needed this. Teddy you can help eachother....DO IT
@RamblingBaba _ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...weenie
You cry easily don't you?
Teddy should be training Mike......
I have a lot of respect for Teddy Atlas. I have great respect for Mike Tyson. I don't know if Teddy was struggling because this was an emotional topic, but My God he took a hour to tell a 5 minute story.
No thats just teddy for you, if you asked him if he'd prefer ketchup or mustard on his hotdog he'd go into a hour long conversation on why he would have both
He always does !
Lol Teddy always speaks in metaphors.
😂😂😂
Teddy atlas is a tough guy wannabe smh
Great episode and good learning experience as always IMO
A good and healing moment in time for both of you. I was happy to see that happen.
I hope we live to see the day when these two guys can sit down together and have a friendly conversation and talk about the good times.
agreed
I actually get a sense that Teddy has to much pride for this.
Teddy, you sometimes get in your own way. If you felt in your heart that Mike was sincere, believe it 100%; don't second guess yourself or Mike on the matter.
Mike Tyson has always seemed to be a super honest man to me. He doesn’t talk shit just to promote a fight, he was THAT angry and hyped up. He is honest about himself and his failings and I just think it goes against mikes character to lie. He was being honest, got no doubt
@@DC-bp8sx Agreed! Good point!!
No doubt Mike was sincere! It’s not like he’s getting paid to apologize.
@@mansamusa2012 For sure that!!
Felt the same way. Like he has hated Tyson for so long it was almost impossible for him to accept it as genuine. In my opinion Tyson was 15 when the transgression occurred so Teddy should have let it go years ago. Also Teddy's reaction was so far overboard that I don't believe an apology was warranted.
Your station is growing! Keep it up. You'll be much more influential than you already are in just one short year. Love the content.
Been waiting to hear this! Atlas and Tyson are both people I've really grown to respect
Man this got my eyes watery. I know that there is still alot of energy regarding this topic. Just the other day someone asked Mike on his podcast, I think it was his buddy, "Hey Mike how do you feel about about Teddy" with sort of an awkward tone and I understand why because Teddy seems to be hard on Mike at times, Mike immediately said, "I love Teddy" with a look that could penetrate through many life times. I know he doesn't even want to discuss Teddy in anyway negative what so ever. I agree with the others that they should get together, I think Teddy in the Hotbox would be great. I often tell people around me sometimes in life you get one chance to learn one lesson and there are maybe many things Teddy and Mike have to learn from each other or themselves, and there could be many things we can learn from watching and listening.
bang on the money mate. well done . but trouble is they are both very famous and their lifes played out for all to see.
It was Woodley
people often get multiple chances to learn one lesson.
What, exactly, is "a look that could penetrate through many life times?" How incredibly dumb.
I really hope these 2 can put the past behind them and move forward with eachother.
Teddy just talked me too another video! Yaaaaaawn! I will come back next week!
Mike is impressing me more now than when he was at the peak of his fighting powers. Waaaaay more!! I'm loving this chapter of his story!!!
That was as genuine an apology as you could see. Mikes a changed man and a good man
We need a teddy and mike podcast !!! Get him on teddy!
Never happens, too much unresolved shit between them, maybe in ten years by now...
Mike Tyson hotboxing
Damn you Teddy , I teared up ! Honesty is becoming a very rare thing today . It takes a big man to apologize for his wrongs and a big man to accept it .
I was watching that broadcast monumental moment I cried was so happy to see them come to this point in life where all the old things no longer matter no hate from you none from me lets just live out the act to finality!
Mike Tyson, a genuine man with great heart.
Teddy this is such a powerfull message on many levels.
Most important, no matter what everybody says or thinks about that moment. You trusted you're own feelings, no matter what other people say..
Thanks for making the people remember that important message...
Blessings from the Netherlands
Thats a great story! Thanks fo sharing.
Teddy straight from old school of boxing. Didn't put up with no BS when he was younger. Always great to listen to his wisdom.
Mike Tyson is pretty much open and honest about absolutely everything - good or bad. That's why I think Desiree Washington was talking shit! If Mike had did something wrong in that hotel room he would have said so and told us in his one man show or whatever. He's always honest if he's screwed up!
Washington was an 18-year-old honours student who had never visited the big city. She was invited up to meet her hero. It's very hard to secure a rape conviction -- there must have been substantial corroborating evidence. Odd that Tyson never tried to clear his name if he was innocent, don't you think?
Alistair Hann 🦄
@@memcrew1 But we'll never know will we? America's judge and jury system unfortunately has always been stacked against the darker ones...and it still goes on today,a real shame
He didn’t rape her , Robin tried to destroy him on the Barbara Walters special . Saying he punch without bruising her , the fake miscarriage , they destroyed him psychologically . Even through all that , I know he didn’t hit Robin and he definitely didn’t rape that woman Desiree
Mike is a great example of dealing with the shadow self and represents wholeness, his potential of ripping your head off to hugging an enemy. Mike is not only a great man he is a great teacher.
Facts
I just wish he can see what we see . He doesn’t think he is worth anything. The realization is that he so much more than he thinks. He doesn’t talk good about himself
When he talks about being more afraid of the feeling of knowing you should have protected those you love vs. the fear of the actual moment of danger. I feel the same way, and this is the first time I've heard someone else say it.
As A Fellow New Yorker & A Staten Islander For Teddy Atlas & Mike Tyson Bridging 🌉 The Gap As Men!!! There's Nothing But Respect That You Can Put On They're Names 💯 💯💯💯💯
Bro i even felt that hug. He meant that apology. Im glad and i hope you guys can do something together. Not worth living in pain and anger
It’s good Mike apologised to Teddy 👍🏻
It's best Mike became the man he is today.
It's good. Mike is a good guy, but it's hard to truly forgive for that kinda thing
@Joseph Jove Lol Tyson wasn't your average 16 year old. Dude was a trained killer then
@MM 20 Mike got rough with I believe his daughter a long time ago. Teddy actually held a gun to his head for it.
@Joseph Jove It's easy to speak out your ass when it wasn't your niece and you weren't facing a young genetic masterpiece in front of you.
Best thing in the world when you do something like this and move forward in life. Mike Tyson is back as Iron Mike.💯💯💯
I’ve been at Tysons fan my whole life. At times there I honestly thought it wasn’t gonna make it, not make it in life in general that is I thought he was gonna self-destruct end up as a tragic story a tragic cautionary tale. But to see how he has turned his life around and not only flourished is truly inspirational. Kudo’s to Mike Tyson for showing it’s never too late to grow never too late to turn your life around
What Tyson has earned/received since the boxing stopped is so much more than the money he made boxing. Lasting longer too.
You could see Mike was sincere when he went in to hug Teddy! I bet if they were alone together they would talk for hours!
Or fuck
@@optimisticallycynical.814 dude that's inappropriate, delete your comment.
@@optimisticallycynical.814 LMAO
At this point, IMO if Iron Mike wasn't sincere, he never would have apologized to Teddy.
I always wondered about Teddy and Mike and if they reconcilled. Thanks for giving me closure!~
Thanos was involved 👀
@@each1teach1academy43 lol thanks for the headsup 😋
Teddy
You are the Best
And handled the moment appropriately
I was never a Tyson hater ! I was grateful for all the exciting moments he gave us , and understood how crazy his life must have been to have such fame and wealth at such a early age! So happy he survived, and so thankful he matured into the man he is today !
He realized his career went south when he discarded Teddy and Kevin from his corner. Truth be told, Tyson got lazy with his training.
Kevin yes, this guy a leach
Hard work beats talent when talent refuses to work
Not really. Robin Givens and her psycho mother targeted Mike put him on tranquilisers and stole his money. He never recovered after that. He was already finished before the Buster Douglas defeat. That said, Lennox Lewis was always too big, powerful, and tactically/defensively clever to lose to even a prime (21yo) Tyson, although he'd have a puncher's chance, obs.
Prime Tyson is the 2nd best ever though, and best ever to watch.
Tyson was around people that would tell him "you are the best and can't be beat" then look what happened? Buster Douglas makes the biggest upset to this day!
Rob Thomas they really weren’t whores in the traditional sense bc the women were either fawning over him or were exclusive high class prostitutes that only go with extremely wealthy men but the majority were just beautiful women that wanted to screw him. My cousin was on the fringe of his inner circle for a few years in the late 80s early 90s the stories he told were hard to believe but apparently true, like Wolf of Wall Street times 10. I believe him on it (the Wolf of Wall Street part) bc he doesn’t talk a lot of shit and didn’t tell the story for awhile afterwards.
Well, I never thought I would hear Teddy finally say something half decent about Tyson. Wonders never cease.
great vid coach. you are instrumental in his life. he is instrumental in our lives. you both are great men. thanks for sharing.
I'm so happy to see and hear this.
Teddy you're the man. I love listening to your analysis and respect your outlook on life and the way you deal with people. Dont over complicate things. Be a man and if you feel someone is sincere follow your instincts. Respect to you and Mike.
Tyson used the peek a boo style on Teddy
Peek a boo style in bullet time
Hahhha
Lol
That was a good one lol
This is such an interesting story, not only for the people involved, but for just regular people watching. A human being's ego is a very powerful thing, yet very fragile. it takes a big man to sincerely apologize, but an even bigger man to accept it.
This makes me so incredibly happy, man. I’ve been wanting them to have an honest face to face and have a chance to make amends.
Teddy was not only Mike's best trainer he truly cared for him. Nice to see Mike humble enough to apologise. These two together were once unstoppable.
Teddy was Mikes best trainer? Do you really follow boxing. Try looking up Cus D’amato.
@@leeskiller also Kevin Rooney, but teddy and Kevin where both under the wing of cus as you probably know, don't reckon cus could have physically held the pads lol! But he was the brains. Cus was pretty much never in his corner on fight day though, even in his amateur days.
@@leeskiller Exactly what Gutz said. Cus was outside the ring calling the shots but it was Teddy in the ring holding the pads. Cus didn't like to fly so Teddy was the trainer in his corner during the early days.. Rooney was damn good as well but in the early Cus days Rooney was 2nd to Teddy.
His best trainer??? Then what the hell was Cus...
Been hoping we'd hear this story. Looking forward to taking a break from the sad news to watch more Teddy, Ken and Rob, hear more about these amazing boxers that risk their lives in a dangerous sport and continue to entertain us in many ways.
BEAUTIFUL,
BOXING HAS GIVING ME SO MUCH IN MY LIFE, ITS NOT ALWAYS EASY & WE GO THROUGH VERY HARD TIMES BUT THE REWARDS IN & OUT SAVED ME IM SO IN LOVE WITH BOXING & ALL THAT ARE INVOLVED FROM THE RING LADY TO THE CHAMPIONS EVERYBODY, THANK YOU TEDDY & MIKE I LOVE YOU GUYS💚👊💥💯%RESPECT🏆🏆🏆
Sometimes it takes the right moment for someone to realize it needs to be said no matter how much time has passed..
Emotions sometimes are very Difficult to articulate properly, especially for certain Men. I totally get Teddy Here. I never heard about the Apology. This is awesome.
One thing I wish I had more control over is my emotions. It sucks when you can't be in control of something that's yours, something that belongs to you.
@Curtis Ostriker Thank-you very much, sir. Very much appreciated.
@@badcornflakes6374 Self-Control and Discipline are key. It's a battle. "Know thyself."-Socrates. Discover what areas in Life you're struggling with and why. Introspection, Retrospection, and reflection are key. Also, speak with people who are wise and are masters of such aspects.
Teddy is a national treasure and should be awarded the medal of freedom.
He a POS
HELL YAH
I love listening to Teddy. Can't you just enjoy him without making out he is worthy of a national award. Calm down and chill. Why are we too ready to make saints out of normal people?
Myself, along with many others deal with the past differently. It torments us and its not as easy as just growing a pair. When we know we have done bad, it plagues our minds and we must find the courage within ourselves to forgive, but also tell the soul whom we cause harm to that we are sorry. It doesn't matter what you may have said to us behind our backs after the incident, we deserved it and most of us find closure in facing the past in order to move on to the future.
To people that don't know this experience, its like a mental illness. You tell yourself you deserve no joy until you have suffer enough. The problem is that you dont know the right amount of suffering, thus you take weeks/months/years off your life because you feel like its the right thing to do, or if you believe in a higher power/karma, suffering in those moments will soften the blow later in life. It doesn't, we are all destined to suffer and feeling like you can curve it by thinking you're in control will waste your life.
I truly think Mike was sincere. Terry may have not seen the transformation that he has undergone throughout the years and hell, even Holyfield forgave him after biting his ear off!
In the way Terry talks about this, it sounded like these thoughts were never on his mind, yet Mike suffer so long with this burden. I am glad there is some closure, but i dont see Terry wanting to rebuild that bond again and that is okay. Mike needed this for his sanity, and i am sure that Terry is happy that he is admitting he was wrong.
You guys were and still are Mike's family & he knows this. You guys raised him. God Bless All of You.
TEDDY AND MIKE DO A PODCAST FOR CUS. DO IT FOR POPS 🙏

Well u know , I was watching the news this morning and u know , your sitting down ready to eat breakfast , theyre getting ready to go on air and in them conditions you understand what time it is , in the morning , because the weather man don't come on till a quarter to 10 , so judging by them decisions you understand the time may be 9.45 or even 9.50 who knows !

That was a quick answer in comparison 😂
@@grcvky 🤣👍
Ask Teddy the time and he tells you how to build a watch.
Very classy of you Teddy, God bless you my brother. 🙌🙏
Great stories!
After seeing Tyson on Joe Rogan's podcast I know that he is at least trying and I believe everyone needs closure and peace in their lives.
You would believe in pussy crap like closure. You probably believe men and women are the same too. Take a knee commie. At least your great grandad was a man.

I would pay a lot of money, a sort of a PPV, just to watch Teddy, Kevin Rooney and Tyson together in a room and share some good old stories. I hope they all get along and become friends again, somebody make it happen.
Apart of what makes this podcast so great is Ken's ability to let Teddy be Teddy. Now we know Teddy is going to be Teddy regardless, but many co-hosts far too often interrupt and try to give their input and Ken sits there patiently and allows Teddy the time to tell his stories and give his perspectives. I love it.
