    Was the closest Calzaghe came to a loss and a lot of fans think Reid should have got the nod.
    Who do you think won?

    Me and some mates watched this live on tv. At the time I thought Reid nicked it I will have to watch it back. It was very close and there should have been a rematch.

    Exactly what I thought, Reid couldn’t miss with his right. Pity there wasn’t a rematch.

    Reid.
    Close enough fight but I think I had it to Reid by two rounds at the time.
    Such a shame they didn't do it again.

    Think Reid. I know Joe broke his hand clean in the 3rd or 4th but still.

    Close fight but Reid came on strong in the second half, don't get how the judges got it 116-111 either way. Shame he got stiffed again in Germany. If had beaten Lacy the rematch would have been huge. Liked Robin back in the day he was a class act.
