--------
Boxing trainer Teddy Atlas opened up about his turbulent early years growing up in Staten Island. Atlas talked about coming from a well-off background with his father being a doctor but feeling drawn towards a tougher life. He shared a story about a violent confrontation where he ended up getting slashed in the face, leading to 400 stitches. The identity of his assailant was discovered later, with Atlas revealing that plans to confront the man were eventually abandoned.

Teddy fighting back some deep seeded emotions here.
That scar is a big thing in his life, you can tell
I felt the same.. u can tell he still mad about it
Shit I would too..400 stitches is crazy!
Where can we watch the full interview
I think he looks really cool with it, but it must have been a painful, hellish experience. All love to Teddy for keeping it real
This seems like its going to be a good one, love how he was thoughtful and hesitant but end up letting us know
Getting the feeling that theres gonna be a whooole lotta editing 💨 for this interview!
Begs the question of whether the face butchers crew or relatives might take umbridge.
Atlas always calls out robberies in boxing. Calls out corrupt judges who slowly killing the sport over the years
And calls out fights that weren't robberies and crys about them.
And lost his job over it. Respect.
I can't believe the disrespect from Vlad to not even interview teddy atlas in person...I can see why Tyson wants to knock Vlad out
Probably scheduling conflict
So put the interview off until they both match schedules @reginaldroundtree1325
You know he felt disrespected with that slight jab "you're not in it but..."
I'd bet my house that by the time this whole thing comes out, it'll end up being a 5hr interview😂😂
Glad you are asking him about his story!! People need to know 🥊
Teddy tells a powerful story. And is still sharp for his age
He's 67 not 87 lol.
what are you 12 years old? He’s actually thinking before he speaks. That’s what adults do
I watched it. Made perfect sense to me. He was articulate and thoughtful.
Believe it or not over 65 is a senior citizen. And cus Damato died at 71
@@0Shane13 cus died in 1986 at 77 from pneumonia
@@Johnnybratton802 my apologies for the mix up on the age. But cus was about the age Teddy is now when he met Mike and felt like he didn’t have enough time
I remember the 007 back in the day. I’m from Harlem, and a lot of guys carried that 007 which was a folding knife, and not a switchblade. And like Teddy said, you were flick it open, and there was a technique to it in fact, me and my cousin from Brooklyn always practice flicking that 007 open. So what Teddy said it was all about the flick of the wrist. It was a big knife too, and had a rawhide string attached to it. A lot of New Yorkers carried the 007 back in the days. We talking back in the 70s and 80s.
Every neighborhood had a 007 back in the day and it had a little hole at the end with a sued piece of rope attached to it.
Now all New Yorkers carrying a purse
Great interview! I'm looking forward to watching the rest!!
Damn Vlad. This could be EPIC. You get the goats sir. This dude got stories on top of stories
This a deep story, you can tell Teddy is trying to think about what to say, how much to share, and fight back the emotions of a very sad and disturbing time in his life.
No covering himself. More things may have happened. Can't incriminate himself.
this story has been told so many times in the past 20 years the deepness Is long gone!
@@BoxingGenius2024the literally said he never told that part of the story before.
he probably killed that dude tbh
It wasn't a very sad and disturbing moment in his life,
for a civilian ? Sure.
But he was a street kid who grew up in the ghetto, just one of them things, 🤷♂️
Love this guy.. his knowledge of boxing and how it ties into life is second to none.
He’s full of illustrative metaphors and simile in his descriptions of boxing and it’s relation to human life
@@TerryStewart32 well said bro, well said.
He also said something that's been proven to be false. He said Mike Tyson style is suited for fighting stick-and-move boxers like Muhammad Ali. Mike Tyson always had problems with that style, starting with Quick Tillis
@@bigolbabyhueycheck out the documentary AKA Cassius Clay, you'll see what he means when you see a 62 yr old Cus D'Amato(man who taught him and trained Tyson) tap a young Ali a few times in the face as they play sparred.
@@alexislee9829 I seen that documentary. I'm talking about Mike Tyson actual fights with tall boxers who were good at jabbing and moving, he always had trouble with that style
That bothered him to speak about the revenge attempt. At that moment u realize Atlas is anything but soft, and it bothered him to function like an emotionless monster, but it also hurt to call-off the revenge due to him having a heart (w/kids being present).
He was a pro boxer himself but cus wanted him to commit to being a trainer instead. After the Tyson incident, cus sided w teddy and they parted ways. Of course teddy atlas isn’t soft 😂😂😂 he’s a professional that’s been training killers for 5 decades.
That or he didn’t call it off
Oh you think he called it off😂😂😂😂 you're definitely not a street kid.
I'm not sure he called it off. Something happened
He's the one who pulled the heater out on Tyson
If that's how you know about him you must not be a boxing fan or know shit about boxing history
Do we need to be a boxing fan or historian to know about him? God damn real troll gate keeping what we can know and not know.
@@JjjNas-mj8keI don’t 😬😳
He’s a punk, he pull a gun on a kid
@@MyBigPhatPussyTho An 18 yr old kid who tried to grape his minor female relative
Another great get Vlad! Unsung heroes. People who we know but regular media don't talk to.
Now this will be a quality interview I can’t wait for the rest.
Love Teddy, extremely knowledgeable on the sport of boxing and always gives great interviews.
Bro could turn a yes or no question into an entire eight part series each series containing ten volumes, with six, 19 hour long episodes per volume with four, thirty-minute ad breaks in each episode
You shoulda heard his mentor
believe me you got me wrong
I don’t understand what exactly you’re talking about
Wow! All the boxing fans are clicking on this one. He didn't even give this much detail in his book. Great storyteller. He started off a little rough though, lots of pauses. I can't wait to hear the rest.
Whoa what a bang to start a interview!
This is one of the only times I’ve heard Teddy really struggling to put his words together, because of the pain it brings back.
Yo Vlad! Thanks for this boxing content man. Straight up
You wanna join a boxing group on discord?
Teddy a legend
His story’s get more legendary the older he gets
@@DoctorEduardo hahaha exactly… ever single time he opens his mouth them stories/lies grow bigger
@@nickdavis2222 its crazy not enough people have picked up on how full of shit atlas is about everything. theres something wrong with the dude
@@johnsmith0800 you’re 1000 percent right. Something is definitely wrong with dude
Teddy Atlas is one of the brightest minds in boxing. Looking forward to hearing the rest of this interview
I lived in Stapleton Projects for a lot of years back in the 70's. It was tough, but I had the time of my life.
Teddy was running the block!
Wow. Part 1 epic. Teddy doesnt like memory lane of this story.
His book is fuckn amazing! Laughs, tears and emotions in that book
Shout out Teddy Atlas. I had a lot of good memories growing up with this guy.🔥👍🏾
Bro really ended with “we called it off” after all dat nonsense 😂😂😂
Stapleton is a rough area, I know it very well. For those who may not know, it is also where some of the Wu is from. It was as rough an area as any in the 5 boros.
Ghost face hood.. Stapleton no joke for sure.
@@stephendavies-hale6348 Back in the day Tony was around there, there was the RED DOOR and lots of other craziness lol. Definitely not the part of town you wanted to be in if you were unfamiliar. But if you were good there, you had some solid backup.
Teddy Atlas is a legend in the Boxing community.
That’s an honourable man.
Based on what?
U high?
are u kidding
Teddy was hanging in the same projects the Wu tang clan is from 😂
Yeah dude.. he beat Raekwon in arm wrestling.
Strong Island
@@jsj31313jjStrong Island is Long Island not Staten Island..
@orlandobonner6878 Home to Ghostface Killah & Shyheim Da Rugged Child
@@jsj31313jjlmao wrong island
This man’s is a philosopher far beyond regular wisdom
This is why you need to be careful with road rage! I’m particular with who I get angry at when driving…usually stick to women, senior citizens or someone who’s noticeably disabled. So if it kicks off I got a chance!!
Lmao
For sure 2 separate road rage incidents ended in shootings where I’m from and still live within the last couple months and it’s a small city of about 300,000 people in Indiana.. Fort Wayne
😂😂😂
@@Lovemy911 it’s always nice to have acceptance of British humour!!
Don't take on anyone, they could go and get some bad people to come after you.
Nice to see Teddy on Vlad.
His autobiography is awesome
Lmao called him out for not being there right away
Dentist also work on facial cuts in hospital. In bronx lebanon hospital that was common.
Teddy Face Killa 🙏🏼
I love Teddy!! Respect
Got alot of respect for Teddy Atlas.
*a lot
I already know this is going to be a 500 part interview. Its going to last the whole 2024
😂
Looks like you’ll have something to do other than being miserable hating on everything. You’ll have this to look forward too. 💁🏻♂️
Know Dr. Atlas well. I'm from Staten island my whole life and went to see Dr. Atlas a few times and was my mother in laws regular doctor. Very nice doc.
Honestly if something like this ever happened to you you’d understand why this isn’t crazy at all
Wow IDK Teddy was from Grimes Hill!!! I knew about Tyson first.
Love Teddy. Respect 🙏
It’s a cold world. Be safe and stay out of trouble
A lot of folks don't realize why Atlas often takes a long time to get to the point? It's because that things would get taken outta context and misunderstood!, therefore he takes his time and builds a clear picture (nothing wrong w with this).
Hes making sure he doesn’t incriminate himself.. very smart from him
Facts
“It was a tough neighborhood. It had projects, it was Stapleton!” Lol Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nothin’ to F*ck Wit
Wu Tang are a bunch of rappers you goofy
Teddy the boxing god. Forgot more about boxing than most people know about it
He knows how to turn a 3 minute clip into a 10 minute clip
Love teddy!!
Teddy is a legend!
I like teddy.He is a great trainer.Also his story is interesting
I can appreciate Teddy for the most part but my God he takes longer than anyone in the world to get to the freaking point! He acts like every thing he says has to be the most profound jewel of wisdom like bro just spit it out!
You're an A#$, aren't you?
Chill, young brother words take time and he's and old geezer.
It's compelling actually
Billythekid.... You complete BellEnd
@@PNess-bv7jb
A Bellend indeed
Lol the end of this video had me dying
Watch the full interview now as a VladTV UA-cam Member - ua-cam.com/users/vladtvjoin
Teddy got embarrassed Really rushing at a guy after he pulled his knife out he belongs up on the hill With his daddy 7:29 He admits that he had a back up plan oh I’m gonna rush this guy and then order my specialty doctor
Vlad are you doing these remotely? Or was that a Teddy humor? Lol
Why is Vlad not there in the studio?
Damn, he's reliving this event as he's telling it.
The man the legend!!
Teddy Atlas
Like let me choose my words very carefully here lol
This is fire !
Well spoken
Clips from this interview is gonna laat till 2050
Cant wait for his story of him knowing Sammy the Bull back in the day.. i think Sammy used to train in his gym, he spoke on it in a documentary
Great guest
I have a face scar that traumatized me too man i feel this
We had the 007 here in London back in the days I had one
Like others have said. You can tell obviously this story. Was a huge deal in Teddys life. Maybe it brings some anger. That he’s tried putting behind him. At the end of the day though. We’re all men out here in this world. If someone slashes your face like that. I’d imagine apart of you. Would want to pay that back to the guy with the knife. My 6th grade Middle School yeaar. I remember getting a black eye in a fight. The kid had gotten the better of me. For days weeks months after that. I would go back to that moment. And feel rage in my mind. So so much built up anger. I learned a black eye isn’t so bad and, to move on. Obviously a deep cut on your face hits different. If you can understand what I’m saying here.
I understand exactly what you are talking about.Somebody hit me with a baseball bat 3 years ago.I think about revenge EVERY day! It is driving me insane!
I was that kid you a punk
@@user-uj8uq1hf1dGive it up and forgive him,for your own sake.Focusing on revenge will eat you up from the inside.
@@patmiddleton3947 Maybe you're right.This is eating me up from the inside.A lot negative self talk and anger.
@@user-uj8uq1hf1dNot worth revenge. Let God handle it. Put it in his hands 🙏🏼
Part II w/ MJF, AJ Styles, Adam Cole & HBK Please
I would have never guess Teddy’s dad was a doctor and he grew up in a nice area
This was a hard listen
Much respect to atlas. Sometimes situations occur life where you have to deal with it.
Had a 007, wooden handle lock blade. We all had them back then.
Had never heard the story about him finding the dude who slashed him
Stapleton is still rough.
Teddy turned his life around *cuss realy helped him and tyson < little long with his stories! But he is is a class act
vlad the master of re uploads
"I recognized the knife" is crazy 🤦
big fan of this guy
He had Beef with Iron Mike & Macho Camacho...smh
He musta been like wait this is a FaceTime call? Lmao
Can’t wait to hear the part he bashes on Tyson and not calling him great
I’m confused why wasn’t Vlad there? Did he appear via zoom? Weird he wasn’t in studio.
Teddy Atlas is a true gentleman
Thats old skool, we used to call that knife 007 as well
Damn uncle Charlie from the gap band was wild ass hell lol😂😂😂
Vlad is the KING of asking the same repetitive questions over & over! He does it with Sammy & them & now with Teddy bruh these same "man who slashed ur face" questions been asked to this man for 20+ years! same thing you do with Sammy just same questions & answers than Sammy been asked past 20+ years!!!!
God bless him ..CTE is real, i suffer from it, from years of football....have you ever Googled the life expectancy of an NFL lineman?
Have you tried eating edible mushrooms everyday with your food?
Mushrooms are brain food, and can help heal brain issues. Magic mushrooms have been shown to help with CTE, but they get you high, and you might not want that
Try out different edible mushrooms, and every 3 months go to your doctor to see if any changes happen
Doesn’t everyone already know?!? Not a secret anymore. But bad Vlad decision though. Not being there Teddy doesn’t have the interaction and presence so he’s stumbling. Teddys other interviews face to face he’s more present and focused. The lack of interaction got him tripping
CTE can only be diagnosed after death.
TBI might be what you have.
Teddy was chillin with WU tang before the WU he was with their older brothers and stuff.
Teddy is not to be messed with 💯 even spend time on Rikers
His autobiography is a very good read
You guys better not skip the (topic) Foreman fight.
Maybe i'm wrong but it seems this is the first time that Teddy said the name (i mean, publicly) of the dude that stabbed him.
Anyway, Teddy is the best.
He's traumatized and from being stabbed before I can relate.
