Are you kidding me? His opponent is in front of Ottke, Ottke fires a barrage of 12 punches and NOT A SINGLE punch hits the opponent? You don't know what you're talking about, the punches didn't hit the opponents shoulder or arm, they hit mid air, nothing else. Go watch Ottke's fights before you participate in the discussion. The Mundine KO was one of the biggest lucky punches in boxing history. I had Mundine winning on the score cards up until the KO.
One of the most annoying and overrated (mostly the dumb ****s who are actually fans of his) boxers over the past few years. I wish Calzaghe could have beaten the living daylights out of him.
I´m pretty sure I saw more of his fights than you but I won´t argue with you. I won´t waste my time on ignorance. That´s what I love about the gen, all those well educated, tempered and mannered people there ... breathtaking.
Ottke was alright. His feather fists of fury made Anthony Mundine sleep like a log for a good 10 minutes(after Mundne said Ottke hit like a girl at the presser). That was one of the most poetic moments in not only boxing, but in sports history. Reid was one of the biggest robberies of all-time, and Calzaghe would've slapped his big head all over the ring, but Ottke was pretty decent, for someone with no power especially.
Ottke chose to never set on his punches, Mundine experienced first hand what happens when Ottke decides its time to KO his prey. All praise to the ATG Steven Ottke :smoke
As i dispise Ottke for all his,sorry, a lot of his dubious wins, it tars the brush with boxing contests that happen in Europe generally,including Britain esp where there`s 12th rd decisions involved.Thanks to that bum Ottke,he`s put a massive contribution to doing that.
He was a decent fighter, not a greta fighter though, he was borderline A grade fighter who got a few gifts.
That's bull, none of those were robberies apart from the first Brewer fight. That Brewer fight and the Reid fight were the only robberies in Ottke's career. None of the others can come close to being considered.
I respectfully disagree. Some people do go over the top talking about robberies but in my opinion Ottke lost at least 4 fights. There were several others that were close.
