Just watched Calzaghe - Reid...

some interesting notes;

McCrory had it a draw

punches thrown
reid 497
calzaghe 618

punches landed
reid 220
calzaghe 214

Punch percentage
reid 44%
calzaghe 34%


the crowd booed the decision big time


that's all!

 

feck off, the fight was in Newcastle, watch the fight again when the decision is announced you can hear a loud booooooooooooooooooooo

fair enough, although i would say, a lot of Calzaghe's punches were landing on the arms and gloves of Reid, where as Reid was landing the harder punches, how Calzaghe kept taking those right hands I will never know

 

What a stupid post atsch

 

How can it be a clear win, if he was outpunched


BTW I am a big Calzaghe supporter

 

touched a nerve have I?

Firstly DLH-FM was in Vegas on a Mexican celebration weeked (IE Oscar was the home fighter, which Reid was not), also the crowd tend to think the aggressor is doing more, which once again doesnt apply as Reid was the counterpuncher.

My point was that your comparison was completely irrelevant.

Secondly, the punch stats show that JC was fairly inaccurate compared to Reid's. Reid's punches were also having more of an affect on Calzaghe than vice versa.

 

I dont have the interviews directly after the fight, but i do remember 5years later Reid complaining on a weekly basis that he got robbed on the beeb

To me it all depended on which you prefer (as the judges scoring suggested) a fast handed flurrier (not sure thats a word) or a harder punching counter puncher

 

Fair cop fellas.

I remember watching it as 15 year old and thinking that Reid won by a point. In hindsight I'd say he lost by a point.

In other words the point deduction being decisive (and deserved too). It pisses me off when people claim it was a clear decision though

 

ouch! that time of the month is it
