Im more intrigued than excited by this fight, I know alot of younger posters here like Froch because of his arrogant attitude and reckless style, they also feel that Robin Reid will be treated like some fragile rag doll because of the Lacy fight, in fact the predictions from the same posters are running along the same lines.

I can see a russty Froch being btaken the distance by a world experienced fighter, Reid will not be a walkover, he has pride and wont want to lose face to Froch, his previous losses have all been to fighters who have been world champions, 2 were contraversial 2 were because he fought like he didnt want to be there and only Reid knows what happened in the Lacy fight but the first knockdown in that fight and the first of his career came from an ilegal punch, a full blooded right hook to the side of Robs jaw while he was facing the ref away from Lacy, recieving instructions, like I said Reid had never been down before so was obviously hurt and just couldnt get back in to it, although it went 3 more rounds after the first knockdown.

Carl doesnt pressure like Lacy did and Reid will not be like a startled rabbit like all Frchs stoppage victims who had no clue how to fight, Rob knows all the tricks, Froch aint dealt with em yet and im still sceptical about how much Carl has been able to train or how hard hes been pushing himself because of the knee surgery and the quality of his sparring if any.

Im pretty sure all Carl and Rob McCrackens hyping of Reid is just to hype the fight rather than they actualy see him as a threat, they like the less informed here see the Lacy fight and are banking on Carls power, well if Carl aint been putting the work in or prepared for a hard battle then he is going to fall flat on his face
