Calzaghe vs Robin Reid (vid)

Typical, whole lot of uneffective punches or missed punches that gives him the nod in close rounds.

 

I watched it all recently. I have Calzaghe winning, close, but definite win.

 

edit

 

Calzaghe was dominating till he injured his left hand in the fight in about round four.

Unlike Mayweather against Castillo, Calzaghe was still able to edge through.

Reid was a super talented fighter (as his olympic medal suggests) and his genuine hatred and jealousy toward Calzaghe enabled him for one time only to put it all together, but a one armed Calzaghe still managed to pull through against this beast.

 

Get out of here crackwhore.

 

Close but clear to Calzaghe.

 

Clear win for Reid. I've seen that fight 6 times over the years and Reid is 6-0.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

:rofl:rofl:roflatsch

Thomas Ulrich had an Olympic medal too, in the Atlanta games.

Adamek shows how to beat of those kinds of opponents (KO6, won 4 out of 5 rounds in Germany).

 

I'll call you out for your scorecard then...

Anytime you like, pm me it if it takes you awhile.

Cheers. :good

 

This fight is one of the many reasons I just can't understand guys like Toffeejack who think Calzaghe ever had the skill/ability of a Jones or a Hopkins. I don't recall Jones (prime 93-03) or Hopkins (prime 97-04) ever going life and death with a fighter the calibre of Robin Reid. Jones had trouble with Montell Griffin first time out, but had turned the fight around and was pushing for a stoppage when he was DQ'd. Then Jones KO'd him in 1 in a rematch. He never lost till Tarver after Jones had burned down from hw and shot. Hopkins drew with Mercado in '95 but by all accounts this was largely due to high altitude conditions. Hopkins spanked him in a rematch and never lost again till he was 40. Joe Calzaghe was closer to Robin Reid in terms of skill/ability than he was to peak Roy Jones.

 

Yep.

 

A quite accurate (though obvious) assessment.

 

..........Much as I'm charmed to have the ESB Calzaghe fanclub's answer to party member Joseph Goebbels question how I could score this fight for Reid - it is you, Minister Of Propoganda, that needs to show and prove why the man in his ****ing avatar won this fight. Let's see your card, bucky. Then we'll talk.
