VIDEO: Teddy Atlas loses his mind firing up Timothy Bradley

In August, WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley Jr. added decorated trainer Teddy Atlas to his camp, and in the pair's first fight together Saturday night, the world discovered why.

In between the seventh and eighth rounds of Bradley's title defense versus Brandon Rios, Atlas fired up the champion with a pep talk that included enough heat to sound off a smoke detector.

Atlas evidently knew what he was talking about, because Bradley scored a technical knockout on Rios in the ninth round to retain his belt.
