The EF Hutton brokerage company conducted a very popular series of ads in the early 1980s. In these ads, someone would mention the name of EF Hutton’s companion, that everyone in sight stops what they did to hear what the company had to say. “When EF Hutton says,” the narrator claims that “people listen”. The same can be said in relation to fighting fans and a valued coach/podcaster Teddy Atlas. When Teddy says, people want to hear what he has to say.

“You can look at this two ways,” Atlas said in a recent interview for Fight Hype, “You can look at the obvious advantage of a larger man who has been very experienced. Who has been a champion for a long time.” Atlas referred to a thunderous great fight for a great fight in September between Canelo Alvarez and Tim Crawford. While some people think that the match is a bigger Canelo who lost, Atlas clearly stated that he wasn’t so sure.

“I look at a smaller man and say he is faster,” said Atlas. “There is a craftsman. He is also experienced. He was also a champion … he may be too quick, too skillful.” And those who feel the thunderous power of Canelo will tell the story?

“It will not come to power,” said Atlas. “If a smaller person wins this fight, the power of a greater man will be denied and he will find a way for his skills to be the most significant in this fight.” Needless to say, the Atlas willingly sees how the fight will fall in a few months. “I can’t wait,” he said. “You can argue for both guys.” Again, however, the eminent trainer would not be surprised if Crawford pulled up nervousness.

“A smaller man can have his day with a larger man,” said Atlas.

Jaime Mungia, a former owner of the title in the average weight, could face the disciplinary action after his b-tribe returned positively to the forbidden substance after his unanimous victory regarding the decision on Bruno.

Munguia saw the victory fell over to the lack of and could meet the suspension from six months to one year.

The Munguia team maintained their innocence in a statement on Tuesday, which confirmed that his test returned positively to the exogenous testosterone metabolites.

“We want to repeat that this result does not change our position: Jaime has not consciously or intentionally consumed any forbidden substance,” said the team in his statement. “We are steadfastly convinced that this result was caused by pollution and we are still taking every possible step to identify the source.

“Jaime remains unwavering in his involvement in pure competition and we will continue to work closely with experts and relevant authorities to achieve full transparency.”

After the initial positive Munguia test (45-2, 35 KO) said that the discovery was a “complete surprise” and formally asked to test his samples B. He suggested that he would be open to go through “retroactive, current or future tests to show that I was always a pure athlete.”

Now that these discoveries are in line with his attempt A, Mungia will expect disciplinary activities of the British boxing council.

“I spent my whole career doing things in the right way – and this is not an exception,” Mungia said in a statement. “I love boxing and I am the first to explain everything because boxing is my life. I can’t wait to return to the ring. We will prove that we never respected this sport, my opponents or introduced fans.”

Mungui’s victory over Surace took place in the rematch of the December fight, which Surace won by knockout.
