Reg Gutteridge RIP

[jimglen]

R.I.P Mr. Gutteridge it was both entertaining and a pleasure to meet you.

I followed Reg as a speaker at the Scottish Ex-Boxers meeting in Glasgow a few years ago, he was hallarious and it'd take a good man to beat him.

Thanks for the insight Reg, God Bless.

I cant believe that someone would post something about Jo Brand shitting in a sink when all of us proper boxing fans are discussing the life and times of a great boxing man.
May I just say that Reg was indeed a fine man. It was he and Harry Gibbs alongside the late Walter Bartleman who persuaded me to apply for a professional referees licence. At the time I was a blue blooded amateur referee with no interest in Professional boxing. However, due to the politics that was prevelant within the ABA at the time , I applied. All through my early career that trio were of immense help and supportto me. Reg wasn`t afraid to criticise me, but he always did it to my face. I learned a lot from him. He could be a sarcastic bastard too. Many years later, he sent me a fax inviting me to the Boxing Writers dinner. He said that the entrance to be used for the Savoy function was the River entrance. "Ask any good cabbie, he`ll know where it is"
I will miss him. God Bless you Reg.

a sad loss RIP and thanks for the memories

Sorry about that, probably not appropriate in a tribute to Reg.

Just read this weeks BN , Bob Mee has written an excellent piece on Reg.

I echo the sentiments and tributes to a true voice of boxing.

His tone and cadence in describing the action whilst using a less is more approach made him a legend in his own right -a lesson other commentators should heed. There again the guy was steeped in the game from an early age and had the empathetic intelligence befitting his wider more deep and substantial experience of life.


RIP

Reg was great
I still have some tapes with him commentating.


Reg is a legend.
A made guy.
Reg and Jim Watt ... Perfect combination.
I'll miss him big time.


Reg Gutteridge ... Pure Class.

RIP REG

Big time respect from North America



Reg was the establishment and set the class trend.
