.. is the most outragious fight I have ever seen. Every time Robin threw a punch, the ref gave him a warning. The ref warned him for throwing legal punches:: Rounds 1-7 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvTX6gW331M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oluSkGWye68 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXmSPbWJ2_4
Brits are chokin losers anyway, if you back them with a bet and figure to win a 100 bucks if they can pot a single easy ball in four attempts, you might as well burn your money. Snooker fags. :kick:
Well the Ottke vs Michaelczewski fight is on. Now the topic is actual again. This is a way to discuss hometown decisions in boxing.
Poor Reid. The same shit happened to him against Jeff Lacy :: That is the worst American biased officiating I have ever seen.
Karmas a bitch. Reid didn't do enough to win the night Joe Calzaghe broke his left hand in Newcastle, and he plain punked out vs Lacy.
this fight has haunted my life... i tried rewatching it, but can't bear it. as soon as the malevolent tillermann starts warning reid for landing body shots, 90 seconds into the first round, i had to stop. i will never forgive germany or belgium for this. i thought i had dealt with the trauma, but the wounds are still there. i love german literature and philosophy, and i like belgian desserts, but this was just too too much...
Fair enough, but... ...OC, did you think Reid lost legitimately to Ottke? C'mon man- you can't slate Cortez in PBF-Hatton and NOT fucking DETEST Tillerman in Ottke-Reid. Reid was docked points for throwing punches at the champ!!!
:: No. The main gripe is that every time Reid tried to throw a punch Ottke, he was warned by the insane referee and stopped from doing so. After some time, the referee starting taking points of Reid. On one occasion, I think he was docked a point for jabbing Ottke in the face... :shit:
I've heard about this fight but this is the first time I've actually seen it. Just in the 6th round alone Reid knocks down Ottke, it's not called a KD and a minute later Reid has a point deducted for having Ottke jump into him in a clinch. :doh:
Yes Nobleart, now you see what a fucking disgrace the gerries really are. No wonder nobody wants to fight there. This is one of the worst examples though, for sure.
Almost as bad as England 66. That must be the only significant english sports achievement since World War II. :tease:
reid won that fight hands down. reid also had another decent win after that against an unbeaten magee. lacy's win over reid was solid, thus, making calzaghe's resume more impressive! ::
agreed. the biggest detractors of british commentary are the british fans - check the amir khan threads. commentators are hot air - but refs and judges make boxing. this fight was corrupt. anything else, teenybopper?
