check this schedule mate, i have seen it shown elsewhere too but cant find it

wow thanks for the news ross

I think its a good thing for the show, himself and boxing in general

Reid is very charismatic and you cant help but like him when you hear him talk about boxing

He may be even more talkative now its geared more for the entire family than just the boxing fan

I still think he has something to offer and these fights should be easy (should)

His last fight was a foul filled affair where the first knock down came while Reid had his head turned arguing with the ref, the ref called stop and Reid did, Lacy the cheating little bastaard didnt, cowardly

does anyone know what channel this will be on ??

They are Frank warren fighters and his fighters are contracted to ITV, I think

I didnt really watch the contender and cant remember what channel that was on

yea old contender was on itv 2 if i remember right i cant wait for this and robin reid joining action makes it that bit more exciting

the first series of the contender was on itv aswell but i think it was about 11 on a sat night so fuck that. and reid does make it a lot more exciting. he was a good solid fighter in his day but faught very lazy against sugar boy malinger when he lost his title and his unbeaten record (if i remember corectly).

If Reid can't get Brinkley out of there inside the distance then he should definitely retire.

Possibly the biggest bum in all of boxing is Joey Spina.

And Brinkley got KO'd by him!

Plus he was schooled by Anthony Bonsante

we will win every single fight me thinks :P

Reid shouldnt be on the show he is well past his best!

this is stupid, Reid is a former champion who's past his best not a contender. He's twice the fighter anyone else on the programme is, he's already proven at the highest level (once agan I must point out that on my scorecard he beat both Joe Calzaghe AND Sven Ottke) but he's not gonna get that Calzaghe rematch and he's not exactly gonna improve much at 36 years old, so I don't see the point.

He was a great boxer back in the day though, without a doubt the most underrated of the british super middleweights, well, maybe Herol Graham, but you get the point.

Well if Calzaghe is just going to fight Contender fighters, Reid is just beating him to his coveted opponents.
