Plain and simple, no one could handle his power, paralyzing. Total package, conditioning, technique, power and a great chin. Annihilated everyone without elbows, knees and kicks to the leg. The best
Marcus Reed was reportedly the original choice for Don Wilson's third appearance in Japan on May 21, 1983. But for unknown reason(s), he was replaced by Maurice Smith.
Seems like his final fight should have been against a worthier opponent. No discredit to the Ice Man though. Would have been interesting to see him go up against a world class Tie boxer like Rufus did.
I understand the sentiment, but I think the quality of the match can't be pinned on Theriault. Marcus Reed wasn't considered another Roufus or Kaman, but at this time, he had a good reputation as a strong up-and-comer. The way the fight played out is more of a matter of Marcus dropping the ball than of Jean-Yves specifically choosing an easy opponent.
Jean-Yves was the most dangerous man I've ever seen in my life!
Man! I wish I could have trained under him.
True Legend!
I do train under him come to ottawa
we from Quebec were watching every one of his fights.
this stuff was huge here.
Great video

Interesting! I had no idea he'd been competing for that long. Do you know who else he fought?
@@mouseboxersclassickickboxing Unortunately, I do not know anything else about him.
Marcus was trying to slow Jean Yves down with that leg kick and willing to take the warning.
Great old school fight between 2 great fighters. Yves is great, and anyone that can handle Marcus Reed like that has my respect.
