yep our commontators are always biased no denying that, in pretty much every sport too (when its a brit v a non brit).In favor? That's putting it mildly. Reid was leading with his head all the time and was slapping in unclean punches. The commentator doesn't mention those dirty tactics at all. No question that he has a predjudice against the Germans even before the fight has started.
Have u seen the German version? Do the commontators mention it at all? what do they say?Comment

I saw it BITD, but cannot remember. I looked on youtube for a german version when I made the above posts actually, but to no avail.
I remember Reg Gutteridge. He was never like the ones in this broadcast. They are really horrible. I twould be nice if people took the sound off if it's the first time they see the fight, and I'm 100% certain that they'll get an entirely different experience of the fight.Comment

But reid knew the score when he decided to fight in Germany and how corrupt things are out there. I think Reid expected to see Hitler in the front row.
But Reid didnt dare knock out Ottke. He was scared of a prison sentence if he did or at least disqualification for being to agresive.Comment
