    I know it was years ago but i remember thinking that the ref seemed to punish Reid for everthing,while Joe never seemed to get told off once.I honestly thought at the time that Reid should have got the desicion in that fight or at the very least a rematch straight away.Just wondered what other people thought of it.
     
  2. Are you sure you don't mean Reid v Ottke?

    Haven't watched it since the night it happened. I remember thinking though that Reid should have got the decision.

    The Reid Ottke match was an utter disgrace of officiating. Mind you it wasn't the only one of them old sven was involved in. Bloody corrupt stuff.
