Thread: Robin Reid on contender

Beat Calzaghe? I wish I could have seen that fight.

Ok Reid isnt exactly an up and coming prospect but apart from small non of them are.

Reid being in this show is only good

At least Brinkley actually made his way past the first round and wasn't just voted back in after his loss

back at ya. Seems like any Calzaghe post I make I get several several sad clicks. Well that is fine, I like Calzaghe but I don't see his resume through rose colored glasses like half of the other posters.

Any one know where Robin is training for this fight, it said that Hughes wasnt going to be in his corner for the fight so im not sure if hes even training him either.

I really hope hes not dumb enough to act like Williams and try and train himself, how the hell can you spot imperfections on yourself like bad technique ?

I also hope hes done alot of sparring because he will be as russty as f*ck otherwise

As silly as it seems Reid could finish up winning the thing. Its only a sprint and robins a fast starter.

I thought they were only having the one fight each, there would be quite a weigth difference in some bouts otherwise

Reid is scheduled to fight at 172lbs

Robin Reid is the guy with the eyebrows, right?

Yes, he does have cartoonish eyebrows.

Id love to see him have something left, he is very entertaining

Great link, thanks!
I never seen a Robin fight, seems to be very very good.

Reid is very good. I was a Jeff Lacy fan at the time of their fight and after how he'd acquitted himself I was interested in seeing more of him. He's very good, but his style was tailor-made for Lacy.

Robin was rusty in the fight with Lacy and took a little while to get in his stride, just when he was getting in his stride Lacy landed an extremely blatant and ileagal shot that started his down fall.

I dont think Jeff would have dropped him from a shot that Robin saw coming, he had never been dropped in a fight or sparring and has fought some decent punchers

Thats an interesting link.

I know Carl respects Robin Reid, as he has done things the hard way, going away for fights overseas etc.

But there were doubts about how much he'd bring into a fight - but if he has a renaissance in The Contender, then it can only make this fight have more of a chance of happening.

Would it be a Warren or Hennessy promotion??

Or would Carl turn down the money to concentrate on an eliminator, then a world title. Before a calzaghe fight himself.
