Yeah it was shown. He hardly iced him, just got him going and followed up with a load of lumbering shots. Bit of an early stoppage but Reid was definitely in trouble.

Got stopped on his feet but didn't protest

Reid's eyes were gone, he should have his licenced removed. A chinny fighter, with no basics and now no speed.

No, John has the basics.

When I first saw Big John on TV, I really thought he could do something if he started living the life and got in shape. He could have probably made cruiserweight and rocked the boat on the British scene. When he first started he seemed to have good potential with a decent foundation. Obviously never world title potential, but certainly could have done very nicely in domestic realms.
Shame he didn't want it enough.

Lol, that fight was humorous to watch, a slow stiff bodybuilder not being able to throw properly Vs who ate all the pies.

Heres the fight...
In my opinion - there have been lots of good heavyweights who don't look like Schwartzenegger - Tim Witherspoon was flabby but he could fight - Mark Gastineau was a body beautiful and couldn't.
My favourite fat heavyweight was Alvin Manley - he was quick with fast hands but he looked obese!

Deary me, that was dreadful. Reid looked a mess.

Anyone else think it could be Audley v McDermott on either the Khan bill or the re-scheduled Arthur bill?

Yeah I do, not sure what bill it will be on, but I see this fight happening.

Made cruiser? Try 160! The guys fat as fornicate. I never understood how the SKY teamed raved about him so much when he couldnt even get his big ass in shape.
