The first knockdown against Lacy for Reid came while the ref was shouting stop. The ref shouts stop 3 times and Reid is looking and talking to the ref, Lacy looks at the ref, then back to Reid and winds up a huge right hook and cracks it on the side of Reids face while Reod is still being told to stop by the ref! He then goes down on a knee in a delayed reaction amd the ref warns Reid for using his head but says fuck all to Lacy for hotting during a break.

Lacy also goes on his ass and the ref helps him up! That fight was a joke. Reid wasnt looking great but was getting in to ot until that shit cheap shot. Up until then some big punchers had bounced their best shots off Reids chin and not moved him. It was a joke.

Horrible officiating in that fight, Reid did not get a fair shake. But, you could see he was losing it, he was off and just did not look comfortable in there or sharp at all. Wasn't his night and he's done jack shit since then.

He was one tough SOB though and I will always remember him getting dropped and just everything going wrong for him and at the very worst of it when he's knocked down for the second or third time he just calmly kneels there and winks at his corner then gets back up for more.

THAT is a fighter.

The last knockdown, he was allmost decapitated!

His corner didnt want to see him go on. That first knockdown though started it and it was a foul that should have got Lacy at worst a point and Reid time to recover or any unbiassed ref would have disqualified the cross eyed twat!

If Reid had a warm up fight before that he would have done miles better. When he fought Froch, he had fought Jesse Brinkley about a year before in the usa v uk contender show and then had a fight scheduled with a comebacking glenn cattley but cattley bottled it so Reid was again inactive before the Froch fight. Not that I think hed have won but at
least a few more rounds in him.

[THE PHILOSOPHER]

Lacy pre calzaghe was a fookin animal.... everyone was saying lacy is gunna take joes' head off following the reid fight!



Here he is taking syd vanderpool (who beat glenn johnson and lost on points to bhop) apart:



Calzaghe ruined him. Broke him as a man and a boxer. Calzaghe was spellbinding that night, he took an undefeated up n coming rival champions soul....totally and completely! My favourite ever single performance by any modern day fighter!

Froch fought some early fights on the BBC and fought Pascal and Taylor on ITV.

If Froch had been with FW for the majority of his career, instead of Hennessy, he'd have a shit record, although unbeaten, and hardcore fans would hate him but he'd probably be much more famous.

Go to 5.20 and watch how Lacy cheated the dirty little prick. Even the american commentators think the ref is a cunt! Keep listening for a while after they are amazed that Alonso calls it a knockdown and doesnt do anything to Lacy!
