Carl Froch - Robin Reid by October

[rossle]

lets not get too ahead of ourselves though, Froch didn't look that good against Magee, and Magee is only a decent fighter. If Reid were to rediscover some old form it's not beyond all possibility that he could pose some problems. If he comes into the fight on the form he showed against Lacy he'll probably be stopped in the same sort of way though.

He did look poor against Lacy but Lacy is a pressure fighter, a come forward brawler, Froch doesnt work at a pace and generaly only throws one shot at a time.

Lacys style didnt really let Robin settle, Robin wasnt an active fighter at the time and was caught with a very blatantly ileagal right hook while the ref was calling stop, that ruined Reids punch resistance for the night because hed taken siome full blooded shots fine before that one punch.

If you were to turn your head sideways and let anyone hit you full pelt on the side of the head, regardless of power, you will go down.

The ref was very biased in this fight, lacy hits Reid while Reid was getting instructions from Alonso, he goes down and not only does the ref score it a knock down but he deducts Reid a point then makes him fight instantly, also making him fight after lacy hits him low, then to top it all the twat ref helps Lacy off the floor, actualy pulling him up, when during Mike Tysons fight against McBride, Mike holds his arm up for the ref to help him and the ref rightly points out that the fighter has to get off the floor under his own steam, both Mike and Llacy were pushed to the floor, no difference.

Anyway, a fired up Reid that is sharp will beat Froch

He did pretty good seeing as he broke his hand in the first round

Yeah broke his hand

He fought a world rated fighter only 4 months later.

I have proper broke my hand before and I couldnt punch the bags with my right for about 5 months, I tried doing it gently but it would just bring me back to square one, so I had to leave it all together until I couldnt feel any pain any more.

EliteDumbass does it again!!!

You ****-ride on this guy too much. Are you a ****-sexual or something? It's okay if you are but don't attack me because I have a different opinion you ****ing **** sucker.

I think Reid can put this boy in his place. You can all go for froch, I'm going for Reid.

reid was a great counterpuncher, froch's style is better for reid than lacy's. froch is a puncher, but a load up, throw one shot at a time time type puncher - perfect for reid to counter with his own big shots. i hope reid still has enough left to beat froch, as u've probably already guessed by now, i'm a reid fan

Froch will win via ud,i could see him goin into lazy mode and coasting to victory.Reid is at least 7 years past his prime if not more.
Im not expecting this to be anything like the lacy fight,Lacy piles on the pressure whereas Froch is more patient and picks his punches more.
Comfortable points win for the Cobra

Exactly, Reid will have more space and time to work and ive just checked Reids reach wich is an odd 76" to say hes only 5,9", not sure what Frochs is but I do remember that Reids was a fair bit longer than Magees who was 6,0" and Hopkins at 6,2" has only a 75" reach, Froch is easy to outjab and with a reach like that, Reid should keep popping it in his face.

as long as Reid is given some warm up action then i give him a very good chance.

Dont forget, Froch has had 5 years and not been tested, he may well have plataued at his age in a comfort zone of has beens and smaller fighters.

Yes I know Robin is a has been but he is still class and by far the best fighter Froch will have faced, as long as he gets some rounds inbetween

[OliverNo1]

Froch is hit easily, but does seem to be able to take a shot when he is inevitably caught. I would take him to KO Reid within 6 rounds.

[Peder]

Damn.. He claims to be number 1 smw, but yet he has never faced any high ranked fighter, not even close. Reid is Ranked 39 @boxrec right now, he was great when he was younger, but now this ranking is spot on.

We have been mentioning Reid in past presence for a few years haven’t we?

If he wants a real title, he should go for it 100%, and not take a silly mandatory.

If this fight is made, and Bute defeats Bika, Froch is #4 smw at best IMO.. (when I don't count Lacy, Mundine and Beyer btw, who both proved more than him, even if they lost some)
