I hate Magee for some reason. Can't really understand it but I hate him and want to see him KTFO.

im not a huge fan I dont hate him but I have no soft spot for him at all.

I just dont warm to his style nor personality

oh yeah and someone tell him that matrix thing is rubbish.

Think it stems from when he pulled out that fight for no apparent reason a year or so ago.

He also is overhyped but arent a lot of fighters.

Magee's problem is the fact that he doesn't really have much of a personality. That's why he has the whole matrix gimmick. I bet he didn't come up with it, i've never seen anyone look so uncomfortable during a ring entrance.
Anyway, if he fights Reid it'll be the last we see of him for a while, because Reid's just going to bomb him out of there early.

Agreed GM, as much was said lasty time love that "he is making an effort" and then went on to bore everyone to death in the ring

harsh but wasnt a great performance and should Reid win then it woudl raise his profile for another world title tilt.

Should Reid win he'd have a world title already...

I thought I was alone in not liking Magee. He looks pudgy to me, not at all like

Certainly he was distinctly unimpressive against that one-dimensional guy last time out. But the guy does have wins over an admittedly old Cherifi, Thysse, Jiminez and Makembi. Now these aren't great names but they're OK. But he strikes me as the epitome of a fighter with some ability who's been managed way above where he should be at this stage in his career through clever matchmaking.

Reid to win, points

sorry shoudl be clear from now until forever when I say world title I mean WBC / IBF / WBA and at a stretch WBO.
