  • Robin Reid was he robbed twice of world titles

    Robin Reid former WBC Super Middleweight Champion.. Robin Reid won his title in Italy from Italian holder Vincenzo Nardiello then lost it 12 mo9nths later to Sugarboy`Malinga - Reid then fought for the title against Joe Calzaghe and 4yrs later against Sven Ottke. Both times many fight fans believe Robin Reid was "ROBBED"... what are your thoughts?

    The ref definitely won the Ottke fight; but Reid would have won in unbiased circumstances. The Calzaghe fight was close, but Reid landed the harder, more eye-catching blows and hurt Calzaghe more than vice versa.

    If Reid was the champ defending (rather than being the challenger) I think he'd have held on to his title with that effort.

      I don't think he was 'robbed' on either occasion but he could certainly have received both decisions, both were close fights.
