Archive Interview: Robin Reid after the Lacy fight

[GunStar]

I ain't to be honest... the guy's 43 and I've got a feeling that The Blow's power (remember he used to be regarded as a power puncher when he first won the WBO ten years back... what happened to that?) might come back at light heavy. Add to that his speed and what have you... I just honestly don't see Bernard doing much but losing a UD and then bitching about it, I really don't. It's not as if he's gonna KO The Blow, is it?

I'm picking Cal too, the only chance I give Bitchnard is a late TKO.

I don't care if Cal misses 90% of his punches, throwing 1000+ will be enough to outpoint Bernard today, Hopkins did not look too good against Stinky, seriously Tarver is the only fight Hopkins looked good in his last 4 fights. Hopkins is a freak of nature, god damn he will be 43 in less then 2 months.

I give him respect for what he does, but he's always seemed to be someone who made the most of his average gifts, if you know what I mean. He's a good boxer, but he's a human boxer, whereas The Blow has superpowers. That speed plus chin are gifts you can't learn.

.......umm what?

It's sad watching Reid like this. A prime Reid would have kicked Lacy's hide from here to Timbaktoo.

What don't you understand?

[Azteca]

What don't you understand?

So he's not good in your books because he was great and had 'average gifts'.

So, you're mad at his genetics?

Nice.

[Guest]

... that doesn't relate to anything I actually said. Sorry.

[phallus]

****, I cant stand Jim Gray. What a ****ing ****!!!!

Who's that cheeky **** that interrupted Reid?

yeah, reid was a 4 time world champ, that **** should have had some respect. the reaperman isn't what he used to be but i bet he could still **** gray's wife's brains out while saying " i'm not bovvered"

[Fox McCloud]

Dan Birmingham is a bad trainer, if lacy some how did lose to manfredo. I would blame Dan Birmingham.

He might be a bad trainer for Jeff Lacy, but he did a marvelous job with Winky... it might just not be his natural tendency to instruct Jeff in a way that is good for his style.

Dan Birmingham = **** for what he said after the fight... I mean, really, who ****ing cares if Reid says he didn't get hit clean, all that does is make a statement about how powerful Jeff Lacy is. He put him down multiple times without catching him clean, that's a nice label to have attached to your fighter.

I felt bad for Reid in that fight, the referee was being a total unfair **** to him.

[SHB]

Shame the fight wasn't actually in Wales, as Birmingham requested. It might have been an even wider UD, if that's possible.
