No opponent announced.

Byron's been out of action since June 2003, glad to see he's taken the necessary time to get over the Calzaghe fight.

I hope he does well he was a solid fighter.

I don't think the stoppage was bad. What I do think was bad is how Mitchell was robbed against Ottke.

Never seen the Ottke fight! ****in hell. He was robbed? How badly?

[AREALFIGHTER]

thats goes with out saying as well as many other gifts otkke recieved. I hope when his name is up for hall of fame which it no doubt will he will get laughted at.

Mitchell was a damn good fighter.....and that Zag fight was stopped premature but he was probably going to get TKOed anyway. But 3 years? Damn....too long of a layoff.

I never seen the mitchell/ottke fight. But in the interview at the end of the fight, Calzaghe acknowledge that Mitchell was robbed in one of his fights and that Mitchell derserved to be a champion. I came to the assumption he was talking about ottke. Since I have seen the robbery reid/ottke. I hate ottke, I don't understand why record books even list his name. Ottke's not a terrible boxer, he is actually pretty decent but he did not deserve to have the undefeated record. Reid clearly beat him.

[AREALFIGHTER]

well said. He was a main reason why american fighters would not go to germany.

I really have to check out Ottke's fights, I've never seen any of them. I'll try find Reid and Mitchell's then. Thanks.
