Reid wanted to carry on...

Another question - just throwing this in the air - what would have happened if the first (illegal) KD didn't take place? Did that have an effect? I'm not saying it did, I'm asking the question...

No not really! Lacy was hurting Reid every time he hit him, Reid was holding alot in the fight. It was a mismatch.

I think the upper cut that put Reid down at the end of the last round was strong enough to make Reid drop his hands. I don't think it's what made him hit the canvas though. I think he had enough wits about him to realize that the punch left him unprotected, and he took a knee so he didn't get his head taken off.

On one hand you can say that he's got a great chin for having that kind of awareness. On the other hand, he dropped to a knee because he was about to have his head taken off.

Yeah, cos Gatti - and I DO like Gatti - was embarrassing against Mayweather. You could see in his eyes that guy KNEW he was going to lose, and fought in a way to receive minimal damage... maybe on an unconscious level.

Reid believed he could win this one and went for it. Okay, it was a disaster, but Gatti wasn't the ultimate warrior that night... he just made it look like he was. Took his lumps, got the Hell out.
