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.
