    Froch gets sparked out by anyone with some decent power and accuracy.

    Not impressed with Froch after watching that one.

    Good fight and Froch looked good after seven months out. He is ready for the likes of Inkin, Lacy, Pascal ad Brahmer. He will never be a Calzaghe but he is damm good.

    Reid looked shot but showed glimpses plus every Froch punch hurt, bad.

    Froch as usual jabbed well and banged hard while Reid did not have the slick movement or never say die attitude he used to have.

    Froch's chin looked good still but his knee did show signs of damage still. I woud have been intersting to see how it would have held up if the fight had gone the full distance.

    The division is wide open or will be soon so Froch could definetly become a world champion.

    Reid was a faded impression of the shadow he once was of himself. Despite having nothing to offer he landed all too easily on Froch. Ha ha! Froch is now claiming he deliberately took those punches from Reid! He says he is very pleased with himself, but it's obvious he isn't.

    Reid got pulled out due a shoulder Injury.

    Froch will be exposed. Reid was competitive and won 2 rounds of the 5.

    Froch isn't going to offer Calzaghe any kind of threat..

    Froch will be exposed soon.

    Reid won 2 of those rounds and one of Froch's knock downs was not legit and was a back of the head shot followed with a shove. Froch's knock downs were coming due to the shoves.

    ****ing joke how he can even target Calzaghe.

    If that was a prime Reid no matter how mediocre he was at his best, he would of beaten Froch.

    Reid was **** and did not look like getting anywhere near even sharing a round.

    Froch's punches were landing on Reids covered up arms and his slow wirey style leaves him open to any right handers and being outboxed.
