View Full Version : Reid-Lacy: What A Disaster! (Includes fight result)
!! Anorak 08-06-2005, 11:20 PM My God, what an awful fight! As the SKY commentary team asked: did a brilliant Lacy make Reid look old, or did an old Reid make Lacy look brilliant?
I don't know. I was certainly pretty impressed with Lacy, though Reid is clearly at the end of his 12+ year fight career. He came up against a younger, fresher, hungrier fighter just four years off his debut and got KD'd so many times I lost count.
Reid just couldn't get his timing going, and the most I could give it was 69-59 to Lacy before it was stopped... and that's being generous to Robin.
I don't know what's worse, though: The fact that I lost 11 million in points, and £40 in real money, or the fact that I've now (presumably) got to read a string of racist comments due to Reid's performance.
Bear in mind Reid is just ONE MAN, not a nation, then his performance against Lacy saw a jaded 34-year-old resort to so many rule infringements he might as well have had "disqualify me now, please" tattooed on his forehead. The guy's a scouser, he got in trouble and he put the nut in. Lacy wasn't totally innocent, but the ref was reasonably fair under the circumstances. When I saw that hit behind the head (Reid's an experienced professional and Olympic medal winner - what WAS he thinking?!!!?) I immediately thought of Godzhand and what he'd say.
Yeah... that's the same Godzhand that I now owe 10 million to. Cheers Robin! :)

Even if Lacy wasn't my favorite, i say that a brilliant Lacy made Reid look old.
I'll admit, at the beginning at the staredown, Reid looked seriously tough and like he'd trained very hard for this fight. I had butterflyes all day. Lacy again showed incredible skills and in reality, out-boxed Reid tonight.
Now do i think Reid had a ridiculous amount of issues he was dealing with in and out of the ring? Absolutely. But you cannot let a bad referee take away from a magnificant performance by Jeff 'Left Hook' Lacy.

Manny P's "Talk ****e" record - undefeated!
!! Anorak 08-06-2005, 11:41 PM The worst thing is, Reid look like he had a vague chance from the outside, but he kept stopping any attempt to get his boxing going and just got drawn into a brawl.
Fair credit to Lacy, though - he got so close Reid couldn't land anything but little clipping shots. His trainer's an ******* though.

and you can donate about 100,000 of it to me, for good measure.

.::EnRiQuE::. 08-06-2005, 11:57 PM the first KD was dumb cuz the ref was breaking them up and Lacy hit him

I must admit, I can't believe the ref had the nuts to take a point off Reid AFTER that had happened. Okay, he was about to take one off for a butt... but then the guy's KDed him after a break. And THEN he gives him a count as well!!
Maybe then he should have took them both to the centre of the ring and talked to them?
