Just checked out the site I always use for this - bet365.com - and the odds on Reid are currently a reasonable 7-2.
Bearing in mind this has been the year of the upset and Reid is no mug, I don't think that's a bad bet at all. The danger signals that the Lacy camp are sending out were all too clear when they looked past this one as a way to get to Calzaghe. But then stories of them trying to bait Reid with novelty t-shirts and screwing up his hotel so he hasn't even got anywhere to train does seem to suggest some concern. At the very least, they've given him an excuse if he loses.
