Just watched Calzaghe v Reid for the first time, for some reason when it actually happened, i couldnt get near a tv with sky, I did listen on the radio though.
Reid was out for 14 months after losing to Malinga, it showed in the first few rounds but slowly he got in to it, in the 5th he hurts Calzaghe and Joe starts backing off, after that robin blocked a good 80% of Joes shots and ive never seen anyone land as many clean right hands on Joe as Robin did, one nice shot span Joes head around but it landed on his cheek, if it had been his chin, ive no doubt Joe would have tasted the canvas.
Froch has alot to live up to, this fight deserved a rematch and if Reid would have got a staright rematch he probably would have won, the career inactivity bvefore hand ruined his early rounds, he could have been sharp from the first bell
