I just would like to point out a few things. I AM an open Calzaghe Hater. I can�t stand him, or his fans. This was a good fight

Round 1 � I gave this round to Reid, he was a bit more aggressive. Ref warns Reid already
Round 2 � Calz clearly hits Reid behind the head and receives absolutely no warning
Round 3 � Calz hits Reid behind the head again and still, no warning. Arrogant show boating.
Round 4 � I didn�t write anything down for this round. Gave it to Calz.
Round 5 � Reid continuously nails Calz with rights and breaks him down, good body shots as well
Round 6 � Calzaghe has no answer for Reids right hands and right hooks.. Any time he throws his right he lands. Calz makes no adjustments
Round 7 � Nothing happened here. I scored it 10-10 even.. Just like the commentators had it
Round 8 � Excessive clinching. Reid gets a lil bit dirty.. Gets a point deduction.
Round 9 � Good round for Reid. The right can�t miss again. Joe keeps holding Reid�s waist.
Round 10 � Another good round for Reid. The rights are cleanly landing. Anything Joe throws is a flurry that Reid blocks with his gloves.
Round 11 � Both guys landed bombs. Reids looked harder, but Joe landed one of them. I gave JC the edge in this round. GOOD round! Could've gone either way..
Round 12 � I thought this was a good round. Joe landed a bit more.. Gave him the round

Final card
115-113 for Calzaghe..

Final assessment � The rounds Reid won, he won big and clearly (clean punching, accuracy).. The rounds Joe won, were because he was just simply more active (volume punching)..

Rough fight, it could�ve been a draw or even one point ahead or Reid. The point deduction was crucial and many of the rounds could've been 10-10 (even) rounds..

Special Thanks to xplosivo for hooking me up with the fight. Thanks bro..

Explosivo

for the millionth time.

It was a close fight. I have to give it a look see again, to youtube I go!

Was a close fight, love the War of the Worlds music intro's lol. I think the scoring was spot on. Calzaghe had long had food poisoning amongst some other health issue I think, poss hands, and he apologised post fight for his low performance. Based on that, to get a clear win allbeit not great, against a solid opponent in Reid, was pretty good going really. If he was 100%, and performed 100%, he'd have won by 5+ rounds.

I can't stand that owned **** tho..

It was a good fight, Reid was a prime fighter and it definately looked like his shots were much harder than Joes.. Punch 4 punch ill give it to Reid. He won his rounds more decisively. every1 should check it out

**Silencers** · 06-01-2008, 09:43 PM

I had it 115-112 Calzaghe. 7-5 with 1 point deducted from Reid.

In his prime Calzaghe eeks out a victory over Robin Reid, yet he would beat Hopkins prime-for-prime. Right...

I FINALLY saw the Robin Reid vs Joe Calzaghe FIGHT!
