reid was a good fighter..and his career wasnt going to be long..however it couldn't have been extended further had his corner pulled him out early against tito...tito beat whatever prime he had out of him....i had the unfortunate pleasure of actually watching his last fight aganst sam hill....very sad to watch...i hope boxing people reach out and help dude out.

Damn. I still remember that Reid-Trinidad fight. It was like watching an updated version of Duran-Moore. Very sad. Dude is already genetically predisposed and coupled with the blows he took in that fight.....damn, mental illness is no joke. At least it didn't sound like he was broke to top it all off.
