Ok, smash, if im totaly honest I knew it was a big ask for this version of Robin to do a number on anyone
His fight against Magee, his power wan him the fight although it was still impressive he could land that right as much as he did against the awkward and negative Magee, then against serdjane he moaned like mad to the ref when it was only a 6 rounder, then the Lacy fight
I thought the Brinkley fight held out some hope for him because he didnt whine to the ref and was getting as much rough treatment as he was giving out.
I watched Reid since he beat the title from Nardiello and was won over by his personality, a quick wit and didnt take any stick, he could also take a good shot and come firing back but he never made the most out of his career, he seemed to lose interest the minute he wan the title in italy, just turning up and going throught the motions, I remember watching him against Branco and being frustrated with his performance.
He never seemed the type to want a legacy more a big bank acount but he did have the right tools and on his day could have given anyone a good scrap as he proved against Calzaghe.
I was typing all I was in the hope that maybe he read through some forums and noticed them, he might have got disheartened with all the negative ones and I was hoping to remind him of his pros versus Frochs cons, I know that sounds pathetic
At the end of the fight I still have the same opinion on Froch as I did before, he is easy to outmanouvre, out jab and catch with the right, especially that right Reid threw. He did hurt Froch but ducked straight down to avoid a counter where Froch held him, if it had been a younger Reid there would have been a follow up or 2 and I have no doubts after seeing Froch stunned on the ropes that he wouldnt have had the wherewhithall to deal with it and end up on his arse.
This fight has shown nothing different in Froch and if he does fight Kessler I cant see him lasting to the final bell, that guard would be pierced all night
