Re visit to Ottke v Reid

[JohnnyKickAss]

Yeah...I remember watching this live on tv...I don't remember so much of the fight,but I was disgusted...Ottke and Beyer are the main reasons( BTW both promoted by Sauerland),why Germany got such a bad reputation...

totally agree with that mate

this fight was on the same night as the Hatton - Tackie fight... i drove from the Manchester M.E.N like a madman to get back for that one on TV as i had a big bet on Reid winning... i was well pissed off with that ref he still reminds me of the guy from chitty chitty bang bang thou

i also lost money on the hatton fight as i picked him to lose via KO

not the best of nights for my picks

[Phil]

I always tell people about this and feel im exaggeration, but then I see it
again and it's just awful
what a fat piece of sh1t. warning him for punching wtf

[CFH]

I had never seen that before and I am a bit stunned. Did Reid file a complaint with the sanctioning bodies or anything? Was this a big deal at the time?

The lesson here is never trust a man who sports 1860's style facial hair.

Also, I know I've said this 1000 times, but I love hearing British commentators call a fight. I don't really know why.

I think there was some sort of complaint but nothing came of it, I also forgot to mention in that round Reid dropped Ottke but the ref reacted as if nothing happened, Ottke rode his luck alot in his career but this was the biggest joke of them all.

Ottke was shite, and protected in Germany, but still think Calzaghe should have gone there and battered him. Surprised Mundine was beating him on points but maybe that was after he knocked out by the feather fisted Ottke.

[HattonTheHammer]

Only ever watch this fight once, cant stomach to watch it again

reid runs complete rings around ottke all night, gets told by what can only be described as how you imagine as a child all german men to look like of a ref, that he should stop hitting ottke so hard and from round 5 onwards pretty much being penalised every time he attempts to land a punch or duck out of the way of a sven ottke counter.

Ive never EVER to this day come across anything like it even in east european countrys theres never quite been as blatant a con job as this particular fight which you do have to see the funny side of on many occasions.

Reid was fuucked over in this, he didnt get awarded the knockdown which was a joke!

Reid was fukked over. By himself when he pretty much decided to pout during the actual fight

I was in Leipzig the day Eric Lucas got stolen by Beyer and Sauerland... me and my friend Ben were extraordinarily bitter about it.

Strange thing is after this fight i really thought Reid had the beating of Lacy.... i guess i really was going throu a bad patch on my predictions

[ross]

I thought hed beat Lacy too.

Watch the first knockdown of the fight, the first of Robns career, Lacy hits him while Reid is turned away and talking to the ref, the ref called stop about 3 times, Reid turns to him, Lacy looks at the ref then turns to Reid and sees him talking to the ref then Lacy smashes a right hook on the side of his head.

Lacy should have been disqualified for it and just to prove how bias refs are against Reid, the dopey ref actually gives Lacy a hand up when he goes down and to prove a ref shouldnt do that, it was either just before or just after but during Tysons bout with Mc Bride, Tyson sits on his ass and doesnt have the energy to pull himself up, so puts his hand out to the ref for a hand up but the ref says he cant help him.

Lacy was a priick for that.

[Hulk]

This instance as well as that stupid bastard who referee'd the Rocky Juarez vs. Zahir Raheem fight years ago, is one of the worst refereeing I've seen before.

On a side note, I seem to remember reading on here that Robin Reid was doing porn?
lol
