Only last 6 fights counts.

Anthony Small UD 8 Walter Wright

Freddy Curiel KO 8 Ross Minter

Alfonso Gomez WINS 7TH ROUND TKO!!!

Alfredo Gomez just wan in the seventh and yeah, I love Reid as a fighter, hopefully he puts on a good show, gets another warm up and either gets Froch, Calzaghe or Kessler, all three are genuine possibilitys as opponents.

If Reid can rediscover soem old form, hed still give Joe trouble, with Frochs slow pace Reid has a chance there and Kessler hasnt really fought a technicly good boxer yet

To be honest I dont see him beating any of those three but he has talked about one more big fight before calling it a day and I would like to see him in with Calzaghe again. As I say I see him losing any of those big fights but I reckon there would be more interest in seeing him in with Joe again as they've already got that rivalry there - a slight glimpse back to the days of Eubank and Benn, its definately something Calzaghe needs and would be a good way for Reid to go out.

Well the results have gone pretty much excatly to form so far.

Reid beating Brinkley is about as big a certainty in boxing as you could ever get. Honestly if I had a mortgage I'd put it all on him to win and be more worried about Jesus Christ returning for judegment day tomorrow than I would of Brinkley actually pulling this one off.

Just stick all you have on Reid to win and go to bed. You can sleep easily knowing that unless an asteroid hits the earth during the night or the sun suddenly disappears you will wake up tomorrow and be able to collect your winnings

Are you getting coverage of this live in the states Mick? We got to wait weeks for this BS, on some random digital channel with no advertising whatsoever.

Well, im willing to give Reid the benifit of the doubt, even after Lacy.

I didnt know what to expect against Magee because I followed his career and was dissapointed in his performances against Malinga and Branco and against Magee but against magee, even when he was dissinterested he showed more power than Froch, he dropped Brian 4 times.

He has the tools to beat any of those 3, a good chin (hopefully Lacy was a blip, he did go down for the first time in his career but it was an ilegal shot while he was talking to the ref and then his punch resistance was quite obviously gone for the fight!) and a decent punch, he just has to prove himself tonight and so on

You got it right Mick. Wright's gu was a last minute sub and apparently they just don't think much of Reid. It was agreed upon by both sides that just the last 6 fights count.
