    In the first stages of the Reid fight the referee was corrupt beyond belief, but after that Reid did little and Ottke took the fight.

    i don't think the points read were that bad. it was mainly that round that when reid dropped ottke but it was given a foul and 10-8 reid became 10-8 ottke.

    Overall I agree.

    The first fight Beyer was lucky that Green was so dumb. If Green wouldn´t have headbutted him, he would have stopped Beyer on cuts. But the headbutt was the way out for Sauerland, the excuse they needed. Dumb move. And it wasn´t even something illegal or crooked but all according to the rules. I had Beyer winning handily the second time around 8 rounds to 4 but Reid had him down in the last so it was closer on my cards. I liked Beyer though. Him and Rocky were the blue collar, underdog fighters still left after boxing got mainstream in Germany.


    Well, his reputation should be, his standing and ranking shouldn´t. I hate that guy, he gave German boxing a black eye that will never ever vanish - and he is an arrogant ******* - what you get from interviews and stuff.

    Brewer beat him, the Reid fight is the most corrupt ref I've ever come across

    The first Brewer bout could have gon either way-it wasn't a robbery.
    Ref in his pocket?RANDY NEUMAN worked a bunch of his bouts.

    Its the Reid fight that really messed up his legacy-it was a disgrace and its a shame because at the top of his game he was a pretty smart well schooled boxer who used alot of tricks.

    Yeah I always felt green was unlucky not to pick up a portion of the crown

    To me, Ottke is a fraud and always will be.

    This is a very shallow view though but each to his own. :thumbsup
