Reid completed the fifth round, but pulled out of the fight whilst on his stool during the break. At the start Reid was asking his trainer for one more round, but got talked around by his trainer and withdrew from the bout.

Since then Reid has announced his (second) retirement from the sport of boxing, but has everything to be proud of looking back through his career. He was the British SMW that did get the chance to fight the best, usually in their back gardens, and was always game. He suffered plenty of defeats and setbacks, but would put most fighters through a tough fight to claim the win. However, after his performance tonight it's probably fair to say that he couldn't cut it at a level above the British title at this stage in his career, but probably faced one of the strongest British titlists who still held the belt ever. Froch probably should have moved on a year or two ago, and is now probably at a world level, and was too quick and strong tonight.
Overall...how do you think that he looked?

Was he more on point tonight than he was against Lacy...or did he just peter out down the stretch? The knockdowns didn't seem they were that devastating...or am I wrong?

Get back at ole's Wacko, you sheep humpin sum-beeyitch you!
When Reid fought Lacy, I didn't think that he was really at the races, and that he really felt that he could do what he wanted to. Tonight, Reid was focussed, on his game and really wanted to claim that British title. He was working well and looked to be landing some fairly solid shots on Froch who wasn't really fazed by it. It was basically that Froch just showed how power and accuracy can do more than sheer effort and workrate can do when it comes to boxing, and I was impressed with how he was able to put Reid down three times when he wasn't really on the front foot in the fights.
