    This was prolly the closest fight of Joes career, How did u score it? i think Joe pulled it out in the last 2 rounds to nick the win, Why was there so much bad blood before the fight and why does Calzaghe in his book reserve his harshest words for Reid.

    Calzaghe won that fight in the first rounds, which was fortunate as his hand went.

    Very close but the result didn't seem in doubt as Calzaghe dominated the early rounds and Reid was deducted a point. An unsurmountable lead.

    Reid was a very good fighter in his day, was sad to see him in the ring against Lacy and Froch

    2 rounds to Calzaghe having factored in the point deduction. Definitely the closes fight of his career. He did well considering how fcucked his hands were after the opening rounds.

    i had robin reid winning by 2 rounds. reid caught calzaghe with some cracking right hands calzaghe claims he broke his hand in this fight but if you watch the fight he is throwing shots from both hands right up until the end of the fight. i personally couldnt even tell. robin reid pushed joe all the way and joe never gave reid the rematch he and the fans deserved to see. instead of taking on tocker pundwill, evans ashira, kabary saleem, and trying to fight brian magee who had been handed his first loss by robin reid why didnt joe just give him a rematch? instead he never did and after reid fought sven ottke he was past it.

    That's the ticket. Had Joe been able to use both hands properly maybe it wouldn't have been so close.
