I think Reid showed up for the Lacy fight just fine. I just don't think he was the better man in the ring, and while it was a rough and fairly competitive fight, once Lacy got on the inside the right hand was working and that spelled the end for Robin.

Froch isn't going to pose that and I agree, if Carl Froch comes in there and he finds himself unable to just bully Robin Reid around then where does he go from there? I think if the Lacy loss and the layoff haven't hurt Reid, then he wins this fight. He's a better fighter then Carl Froch plain and simple imo.
