I read this whilst reading Steve Bunce's column in this month's Boxing Monthly but can't remember any details. Anyone else remember?

Likewise. He looked like he didn't want to be there. He did better than Johnny Nelson though, even if he was stopped...E wrote:Reeson really disappointed me vs De Leon

Yeah I expected him to win and Mccrory to lose, but in reality it was theother way round.........Flump wrote:Likewise. He looked like he didn't want to be there. He did better than Johnny Nelson though, even if he was stopped...E wrote:Reeson really disappointed me vs De Leon

bit harsh to send him to prison for that. johnny nelson should be on death row if disappointing vs de leon was a crime!E wrote:Reeson really disappointed me vs De Leon

Reeson in prison!!! 
That's news to me does anyone here have anymore information on this?
I have the Reeson vs DeLeon fight on tape but haven't watched it for about 18 months or so. I remember watching the fight on TV and that I thought Reeson had a chance of winning if he really went for it. DeLeon was a good fighters and a clevere counterpuncher but was very, erratic a real hot and cold performer. I also remember that for that fight DeLeon really struggled to make the weight. But as others have said when fight time came Reeson just seemed to 'switch off'.
I often think with hindsight that Reeson lost his passion for the game when his original manager/trainer? was killed a while before the DeLeon fight.
On a side note Carlos DeLeons son turned professional recently and apparently is one to watch.
