Does anyone believe Robin Reid beat Joe Calzaghe

[flyest1]

Just want to see people's thoughts on that fight. I do believe a case can be made that Reid won.

No, Robin Reid also said he lost.

It was a draw.

[The Hammer]

Calzaghe clearly won, 116-112.

The two American judges scored it for Calzaghe.

The home English judge who scored it for Reid, Paul Thomas, is probably the worst in boxing. He's the same judge who scored Chambers-Dimitrenko a draw!

No, Robin Reid also said he lost.

No he didn't? He said he won and would win a rematch.

No, Robin said in the post-fight interview that he lost.

Spud: Joe Calzaghe. Many people feel you won the first fight against Calzaghe. Do you want to fight him again, and has there been any serious offers to fight Joe since the first fight?

RR: I have to say to the first part yep I feel I won the first fight as well. I have studied a tape of it and I seriously believe I won that fight by at least 2 rounds and that includes the point deduction for the low blow. Each time I watch the tape, I think I won even more!!! The Referee always seemed to be on my case, don't get me wrong I think myself and Joe in that fight were as bad as each other, but it just seemed the Referee was always blaming me.

Everyone thinks I got paid an absolute fortune for that fight, bearing in mind I was the WBC holder, I really thought I would receive about 100k, it wasn't as if I was going into that fight as unknown! I made 3 successful defences of the WBC Title. I got paid 75k and it was only last year I received the last of the purse due to a dispute!

We thought bearing in mind how close the first fight was we would get paid a decent amount for a second fight, especially when so many people thought I won the first one. I was told I would get paid what I was worth, I was told it would be an offer I could not refuse, in the end all I was offered was 90k, that was only 15k more than the first time around.

No one could tell me that people would not have been interested in a second fight, all I wanted was to be paid for what I was worth! To be honest I thought I was going to be offered 150k and as I say I was offered 90k, that is why the second fight never came. It was shortly after that I signed for Jess Harding.

NO but Reid was a good underrated fighter
