    Ike's power jab + Reid's damaged eye lid= Referee stops contest most likely rd 8-10.

    Vargas did win that fight. He did look good until the late rounds Quartey hurt him very badly. I dont think people realize how close Quartey was to pulling that one out.

    I think Reid should win this. Early in the tito fight, his speed was freakish. It kind of reminded me of RJJ's speed. I had Reid really far ahead in the Trinidad fight, and barely had Trinidad winning by the end. I think the Reid from before the Trinidad fight gets the better of most of the exchanges. Only thing im not sure of, is how Reid's eye holds up againsy Quartey's persistent jab. Reid blinded is far more frantic and less effective - i dont see that version winning the fight.
