LACY Vs REID IS ON (August 6)

[BrooklynBomber]

Look, America is the Mecca of boxing world so no wonder some fans dont recognise european fighter. Now I know that boxing is dying in US and growing in Europe(at a high pace I have to admit) but still the old US of A is the place where all big fights are. Maybe in a future this will be different but we will see.

true but boxing should be about who is the best not who can sell the most

reid UD, will be a great lesson for him though

Yeah, he can apply those lessons learned versus Calzaghe after he earns a late stoppage versus Reid.

dont get me wrong i like america im going to florida for a 2 week vacation and my best friend who i visit is american
but you guys need to get over your selves
just because your not american doesnt mean ur not good
look at sturm whipping dlh
also you guys get on your high horse when fighers from countrys other than american dont go abroad to fight yet all your guys sit on ur big MECCA of boxing and do the same thing

by the way the british invented boxing
so i think you should at least show some gratitude to us for giving you the sport of boxing of which you then turned into a nasty back stabbing business

oh by the way we forgive you for destorying boxing as a sport

ONLY JOKING hahaha

Lacy-Reid Negotiations Break Down - Lacy Looking for New Opponent

ST. PETERSBURG, FL (April 14, 2005) -- The negotiations between IBF super middleweight champion Jeff Lacy and IBF No. 3 contender Robin Reid have broken down. Lacy had hoped to defend his title against Reid, Saturday, August 6, in a Showtime-televised world title homecoming in Tampa, FL..

"The only thing I can conclude is that Reid does not really want the fight," said promoter Gary Shaw. "We have been negotiating in good faith with Reid's representative, Jess Harding, something I cannot say about the Reid camp. The negotiations are over and Jeff has asked me to move on and find another high caliber contender to challenge Jeff for his title in conjunction with the IBF. We are hopeful to be making that announcement shortly."
