By Dan Ambrose: ESPN commentator Teddy Atlas went into one of his legendary rants last Friday night at the referee job by Vic Drakulich in last week’s fight between Top Rank promoted Brandon Rios and Diego Chaves.
Atlas thinks that Drakulich lost control over the fight early and then blew it by disqualifying Chaves in the 9th round without telling anyone why he was disqualifying him. Atlas thinks that is was odd that Chaves was disqualified at a time when he was leading in the fight going into the 9th. Atlas points out that Rios is a Top Rank fighter, and that the show was a Top Rank promoted event. Atlas doubts that Rios would have been disqualified by Drakulich.
