Both were shocking. If I had to pick one as more shocking I'd say the Ottke-Reid ref

Wait until you see Danny Williams against the German guy in Spain from Friday!!
It will go down in boxing folklaw trust me.
Robin Reid was one seriously under-rated fighter in his day. He only got knocked down and out by Jeff Lacy when he was totally shot, Lacy would never have put Reid down in his prime and in fact I reckon Reid would have done him.
If Reid was not deducted and faced such a poor bias ref he would have beat Sven A bloke who was unbeaten his whole career I believe?
I say that cause the decision was very close...
Had Reid have won he would have been a two time, three belt winning world champion..
Reid was honestly just outside the 10 ten best 168 fighters ever.
Previous WBC world champion having won by K.O away in Italy against Vincenzo Nardiello and narrowly lost a split decision to Joe Calzaghe.
I maintain that Robin gave Joe a closer fight than Hopkins.
Another guy Calzaghe fought who was a top contender who often goes unoticed or ignored by guys from the US cause many never watched the guy
G
good post fella, robin pushed calzaghe all the way. Ottke was unbeaten(retired that way an all) and robin reid put in a very good performance that night. the redi that froch beat and lacy beat was a shadow of the man who fought in his primeRobin Reid was one seriously under-rated fighter in his day. He only got knocked down and out by Jeff Lacy when he was totally shot, Lacy would never have put Reid down in his prime and in fact I reckon Reid would have done him.

I scored Reid-Calzaghe for Reid. What a shame Calzaghe avoided a rematch like the plague. But he had no problem rematching Mario Veit. What a disgrace.Robin Reid was one seriously under-rated fighter in his day.

Everything seems a disgrace if it is against a European fighter with you, not with your favourites and US fighters though......the bias seems embarrassing
Something tells me if it was Roy Jones with the SD win over Robin Reid you would be all over him. Your hatred is hilarious.Everything seems a disgrace if it is against a European fighter with you, not with your favourites and US fighters though......the bias seems embarrassing
