    'The climax of Ottke's career of highway robbery came at the end of 2003, when he faced British slugger and former WBC titlest Robin Reid. By the middle of the fight, Reid had been told he was behind on all cards, despite thoroughly outboxing Ottke, and realized he would need a knockout to win. He went out to get it, and sent Ottke crashing to the canvas, only to watch the referee wave the knockdown off as a slip. Then Ottke began fouling Reid in an effort to break up his offense, and the referee incredibly deducted points from Reid, the man receiving the fouls!'

    Ottke was a ****ing joke. His "career" is an embarrassment to the sport.

    Watching it just now for the first time. Through 5 rounds I've got Reid winning them all and he's being told in his corner that he's 3 behind! :huh

    It's not rocket science, Reid's workrate dropped off because he was being warned for hitting Ottke. If he would have continued to "win" the fight he may have been disqualified. Reid should have left the Ring. Have a look at the scorecards. The rounds I had Reid losing due to the reasons you mentioned, he actually won some of those. The first four rounds where Reid in my opinion (if I remember correctly) won 3 of them clearly he was down on.

    If you take this into account, Reid could not win the fight, because he "lost" the first fours rounds, any knockdown he could get may have been awarded a slip, throw in a deduction for hitting Ottke. With the fight in the bag, Reid started to "win" rounds that I had him losing. Watch the fight in detail!
