if Reid has anything at all left in the tank he goes 12. A prime Robin Reid exposes Froch. 3 or 4 years ago, before the Ottke fight, Reid would've ko'd Froch.
I just watched commando with Arnie and at the begining when they kidnap his kid a gun toting bad guy says "you'll do as we say right?" To which Arnie replies "wrong" I was trying to amuse myself and I really dislike Carl for talking the talk but doing nothing with his talents. But to answer the question for real, I'm unsure. Reid has a good chin, the lacy knockdowns mean nothing to me, Robin lost all will to compete in that fight after the first knockdown. I think Carl would be better suited to fight an up and coming fighter rather than a guy whose boxing career is almost over.
I suspect Froch will tire himself out, allowing Reid to hang on once he weathers the initial onslaught.
I hope Froch wins. I don't like the guy but I have £90 riding on it from an accumulator bet if he wins!
Froch probably stops him on accumulation. Reid had a cast iron chin during his younger days, but he can't take the same kind of shot anymore. I don't think Froch knocks him down 5 times like Lacy, but he probably punishes him, knocks him down once or twice, and the ref comes in to stop it.
Doesn`t this match, fighting a once good, now part time pornstar, contain every mark of a typical Froch fight?! First time he faces someone once half a name - but sadly now turned into a cabdriver who still might trouble him. Hilarious-****ing hilarious. Especially for someone who claim to walk his talk!!!!!
Calzaghe: "Reid is shot!" Calzaghe on Froch: "I certainly think he can punch. But defensively he can be very loose and I think he could be caught out against a top fighter but I think Reid is four or five years past his best" http://sports.setanta.com/en/Sport/News/Other-sports/2007/10/19/Boxing-Calzaghe-on-Froch-Reid/?facets/sport-space/great-britain-locale/boxing/Setanta-Boxing/
If Reid is shot (he's 36 going on 37) then Froch really should stop him. I think he will, and must really otherwise his credibility takes a knock. If Froch is the real deal he'll stop Reid quicker than Lacy did. Froch TKO6 Robin Reid
