I don't have a problem with people claiming robbery, in an ideal word Reid would have got the nod. Reid was his own worst enemy that night, he won the early rounds at a canter but then allowed Ottke to come back into it. Everyone could see what was happening, the corner were going berserk with him for sitting back and watching it slip away but he either couldnt or wouldnt respond. I think he'd made his mind up to play the hard done by in Germany card long before the final bell which is sad. __________________
I want to say Darius Michalcalwski the LHW who RJJ apparently "ducked" back in the day but I'm not certain.
Too Bad Reid clearly won nearly every round. The ref and the judges were so amazingly biased that I think they should have their titles removed.
The referee (Roger Tilleman of Belgium) is the judge who scored Froch-Kessler 117-111 for Kessler. He always favors the local fighter and makes no mystery of it.
I dont know what all the fuss is about, Ottke beat him fair and square and clearly deserved the decision. But you are right, the ref made a bad job bc Reid shouldve been disqualified for the repeated headbutts. The english commentary is a total disgrace...You british folks are so butthurt bc we germans kick your asses in every sport that there is, it blurrs your perception. So, do I have to post some picks of WC 2010 or will you Tommys stfu and appreciate the excellence of one of our biggest heroes, the great "Phantom" Sven Ottke? No wonder Calzaghe avoided him like the pest, that Ottke-dude is sweet like sugar baby and he wouldve koed Calslappy into a dark oblivion :hey
I have no idea what you are talking about. Ottke didn't even win a single round as far as I saw it. Reid never once initiated a head butt. Ottke is a disgrace to the sport. My family is from Germany but I can tell you I don't judge with my heart, I actually analyze the situation and decide who the winner is based on who was better, not based on who I like more.
