To sum up the Ottke V Reid fight, take a look at the faces of both fighters at the end of the fight. Reid looked ok, Ottke looked like someone had smashed his face into a wall!

Reid is promoted by Jess Harding, surely? If he was promoted by FW, why is he on the BBC, and why would Harding be stumping up £6.5K and flying to Caracas (alright, so that bit's not too bad ) to appeal on his behalf?

Yeah and surely when Audley Harrison gete crashed FWs press conference he would have brought Robin Reid being WBF champ up. As Warren has slagged Audley for fighting for the WBF belt.

Reid is promoted by Jess Harding.

Victimized by yet another out of date BoxRec fighter record. ;)

But which British promoter handled Reid wasn't crucial to my point.

So when (if ever) was Reid with FW?

Rob Reid was promoted by FW from the start of his pro career - through his WBC title defences, through the Calzaghe defeat. FW and Robin Reid parted company shortly after his defeat by Branco for the WBU title.

Yeah Reid i remember was annoyed in the days before the Calzaghe fight when Warren was running around building up Calzaghe to anyone who cared to listen and Reid said something along the lines of "I'm your fighter too you know!"
