Former world champion Verno Phillips scored a 12th round TKO over Adelphi, MD's Teddy Reid tonight at the Foxwoods in Ledyard, CT. The time was 2:40 of the round. Reid had his moments, but his lack of defense once again proved to be his undoing.
Reid's record falls to 23-8-2, 17 KO's but he doesn't have a win in his last four bouts (0-3-1) and every time he has slated to take a step up in his career, he has failed. Quite frankly, I don't know where he can go from here. The draw to J.C. Candelo (a boxer Phillips defeated easily) and losses to boxers like Golden Johnson, Ben Tackie, Rodney Jones, Kermit Cintron and now Verno Phillips in his career shows Reid has a tough time advancing to the next level. Reid is a fun boxer to watch, but I don't think he can be a legitimate contender anymore.

Teddy needs to retire yesterday!!!
Just last week I was talking to him and his eyes were dangling from side to side. One eye was looking at me while the other was looking toward the ceiling. He speech is sluring and he has spit running down the side of his mouth while standing there gazing at the speed bag. I wish him all the luck in the world, but someone needs to be honest with this man before he receives more un-needed damage. Please Teddy, find another line of work. Your friend Ramesy would glady let you help him with his lawn service. I hear he does pretty well too. He did donate to you an entire boxing get-up. Give him a chance and he will help you. Goog Luck Teddy, Lots of Love...
