Robin Reid on contender

[ross]

Robin will have to prove that he is still better than the Lacy fight, id like to believe it and it is quite possible that through a mixture of poor preparation ring rust and Lacy just being spot on that things just wouldnt work for him that night.

Id like to see Reid, like you say, have a reinasance, do Brinkley in well in front of a major audience, probably a bigger and wider reaching audience than he had as champ, then he will have more of a bargaining tool in getting any fights.

Robin was down to fight Andrade for an IBF eliminator a couple of years ago but got a straight shot instead.

we will win every single fight me thinks :P

Bundridge isn't getting beaten... joke of a fight... just cos it's at newcastle arena and they wanted a local lad on the bill... 9 fights, 2 years out...

should be good..... he should win easy but i am not tooo sure

They are Frank warren fighters and his fighters are contracted to ITV, I think

I didnt really watch the contender and cant remember what channel that was on

yea old contender was on itv 2 if i remember right i cant wait for this and robin reid joining action makes it that bit more exciting

lucky....does anybody know if they are going to show this on US T.V.?

I used to like Robin Reid, gone off him though, he seems to have spent the last three years moaning about one thing or another. Wouldnt be at all surprised to see Brinkley turn him over.

This'll be a good show so long as we actually see the fights in their entirety, this had got the contender brand name slapped all over it and I wouldnt be surprised if all we get is a bunch of carefully edited fights full of sound effects and annoying slow mo's dragging out 5 minutes of action and trying to make every fight look like a war. Please someone - say it isnt the case, Id quite like to watch these fights properly.

I hope it will be a good show, the second seasson was kind of boring, right?... I prefer the first seasson
And I hope it will be some way to take a look the entire fight without edition, that will be a good improvement.

The bouts, all at 8 rounds, will be the basis of a TV show broadcast in the US by ESPN, featuring 6 episodes, beginning on April 10th, 2007. The weights for the matches range from welterweight to light heavyweight.

Well Reids fight is being shown tonight on itv4 at 9

I just looked at when he was anounced as being on the show and he only had 2 weeks to prepare so if he can still do 8 rounds at a decent pace with only 2 weeks notice hopefully he still has enough to give Froch what for

He also weighed in under the 168 limit a few days before then was told it would be at a catch weight of 172 so let himself go up a bit

If he looks rusty thatll be because he hadnt fought in over a year and a half and had very little time to prepare.

Still wanna see him get a warm up fight on the Kahn bill
