    Truly will be missed...
    Having grown up listening to his voice whenever a big fight was on, he always called it straight down the line an personified the fight game for me during that age...
    Reg...may you long rest in peace!!?

    shocked and saddened

    like the previous post said I grew up on reg guttridges voice

    he was of the old school

    legend to me as he is one of them guys who has had a influence on my life

    when I look back to old memorys of watching big fights i always accosiate Regs voice to them

    Reg and Jim Watt were a great partnership

    I'm sure that Jim Watt will be very sad about this news

    Rest In Peace to a man who was easily my favorite British boxing broadcaster of all time.

    You Britons were very, very fortunate to have this man as your voice of boxing. He was remarkable.

    Reg Gutteridge and Harry Carpenter were THE voices of boxing, sad news. I'm not usually one for these celebrity death threads but Reg was a true gentleman and will be sorely missed.

    RIP

    "All over....... and that is the biggest upset in the fight game bar none...."

    Reg said that after Holyfield beat Tyson. Still remember it.

    R.I.P Reg.

    Like others I grew up with Reg calling the big fights on ITV. A great broadcaster with a really relaxed old-school journalistic style with a great choice of phrase, 'it's looking like a carnival in a car park' was a favourite describing the ring after the final bell had rung. Reg also turns up with some commentary at the end of a Morrissey track 'Boxers'.

    I hope that ITV do something in tribute to Reg on their next show, and perhaps Setanta will be able to pay tributes on Buncey's this week.

    A proper boxing commentator, who knew his stuff. A man who did just not commentate to get them trips to the States.

    Boxing, as Reg Gutteridge knew and described, died over 20 years ago, and sadly, with Reg's passing another of the few links left to that sport has been cut.....

    Just saw this, made me smile.

    In a converstaion with Sonny Liston..... Liston discussing, with the commentator Reg Gutteridge, the differences between blacks and whites. Black men had fewer hairs on their legs, said Liston. Not true, said Gutteridge. They struck a £10 bet, and Liston rolled up his trousers to reveal just two hairs on his shin. Undaunted, Gutteridge rolled up his trousers to reveal a shiny false leg - the original was blown off during the Second World War.

    Liston thought that hilarious, and paid up.
