David Haye v Jean Marc-Mormeck RBR - World Crusierweight Titles

[Violent Demise]

Ok, so the previews have just started here on sky, and both of the guys are talking the talk, with Froch throwing his usual bigmouth statements out there, and Reid saying all the right things too. Ringwalks are just around the corner.

Tell them to hurry up

ANYONE ELSE RATGHER EXITED
Gonna be a tear up this one

[superheavyrhun]

Robin Reid comes in to a chorus of boos, and Phil Collins' "Coming in the Air tonight". A reference to his rumoured appearances as a porn star perhaps. He looks ripped, focussed and fired up, and I definitely don't think that he thinks he's there for an easy paypacket.

Carl Froch's entrance is so dramatic, letting the atmosphere build for a minute as "We Will Rock You" builds up. Then a portcullis raises before him, to see him standing in black hood and cape, and the crowd explodes in welcome. Sounds like an amazing atmosphere in there.

As he comes into the ring, Froch walks straight into Reid and theypush against each other for a minute, before the ref pushes them to their respective corners. I'm starting to fancy those 100-1 shots on a Reid KO. Next up, round 1.

C'mon FROCHY

[No Contest]

Froch will win if he keeps his range on the outside and stays active. He should be able to dictate the action there and throw those rangy bombs of his. im thinking round7-9 ko for Froch.

Reid will spoil and be messy and rely purely on the hook!
I gave up with Reid years ago. Great physic, not great skills!

Wow love the sound of Futch's entrance music. Sounds massive!

They both get a "reception" when they're announced, just that Reid's is a chorus of boos and Froch is a deafening roar. Froch says a quick word to Reid as they touch gloves.

Round 1:

Reid immediately looks to leap in past Froch's long punches, getting into a clinch, then a left hook as he comes out of there. Froch being fairly cagey wih long jabs not landing, then Reid charging in quickly again, almost running in. Good hard jab from Reid, then a body shot within the clinch. He's tying Froch up, and throwing annoyning little digs. Reid gets in again. Froch popping out the jab, but Reid wont let himself get caugh. Another bit of a wrestle, and Reid puts in to the body. Froch with a short hook in the clinch. Junior Witter looking a little bored at ringside. Froch with a nice left hook.

I think Reid did the better work in that one, spoiling a lot on the inside.
10-9

Froch will stop him inside 5
