Trinidad vs David Reid


David Reid at that time was one of, if not, my favorite fighter. He had the speed, ability, and skills, but fought Trinidad in only his 15th or 17th pro fight.

They moved him up WAY too quick. After Trinidad, Reid got a gift decision against a bum, and then got KO'ed by a bum I believe.

It was Reid's 15th fight. King cashed him out QUICK because he was looking shaky against guys like Mullings.

[FOREVER]

It was Reid's 15th fight. King cashed him out QUICK because he was looking shaky against guys like Mullings.

But Mullings was the champ at the time, and david Reid beat him fairly easy.

Also, if you go back and watch the fight, Reid was beating Trinidad up until, I believe the 7th round when he got caught by a left hook towards the end of the round.

After that, Reid's legs wouldnt hold him up.

He actually won 5 or 6 rounds on each of the judges scorecards.

Another fighter that I loved at one time, but managed to get KO'd early in his career and do nothing was Olympian Dante Craig. I remember watching his pro debut, after that I was a fan.

Then in his 3rd fight he got KO'd and never did anything after that.
