David Reid now suffering from depression and is a recluse

Sad to hear, good luck him.

 

That's terrible.

 

That sucks. But thats life i guess.

 

He should open his eyes,there's more to life outside boxing.

 

If that's supposed to be a pun then you're f.ucked up.

 

I've been wondering what became of him....another sad story of life after boxing for some.

Al Mitchell a man among men.

Excellent post (as usual from OP).

 

Man, I dont know why but I always had a soft spot for this dude. Seeing him get beat pretty bad by a part time boxer, full time cop on espn had me depressed for a few days. I hope things end up well for him

 

He has brain damage you dumb ****.

 

I met him at the Wisconsin Golden Gloves tournament. My brother took me to him to talk to him and he was a nice guy. This was 2 years ago by the way. He was totally great when he met me, he shook my hand and asked me if I was enjoying myself at the fights.

It was a hard pill to swallow for me however, his voice was badly slurred and you can tell that the sport took a very very huge part out of his body. Thats what happens when evil promoters tell a young boxer that they have to cash out against an ATG power puncher in Felix Trinidad. A damn shame.

 

Ive been there before.

 

i think gatti had something similar.

 

what happened to him to cause this deperession?

 

Your story suggests his reclusiveness isn't has bad as what's told here.

It's a shame he got pushed so fast. Good luck to him.

 

Poor guy, can't help but feel for him.
