    I'd go for Kenny. Afraid to say it because I was a fan of Reid back in the day, arguably gave Calzaghe his toughest night to date. I'm going on Saturday and kind of looking forward to seeing Reid in action, more for nostalgic reasons really.
     
  4. is this a joke ??

    ried has no chance , he will get smoked , fcuk knows how he got a shot in the first place

    Yeah Reid is completely shot. It'd be embarassing for Anderson if he weren't to win.

    Anderson will win, but if it was back in the day when Reid was in his prime Reid would win,
    i think it will be a good fight for a few rounds

    I actually thought the OP was trolling. I don't know exactly where Kenny is with his career at the moment, but to be fighting Reid he must be starting from scratch again...

    Reid will have trained half heartedly for this fight he will be competitive for the first few rounds using his experience after that he will run out of steamand lose in the middle rounds probley take a knee once or twice and retire at the end of a round so he doesn't get badly hurt and picks up his cheque which we all know is why he's taken the fight in the first place

    Carl Thompson had a unique ability to absorb punishment and come back with punches that would flatten heavyweights. He would always have a punchers chance against any fighter.

    Robin Reid is not that kind of fighter. He doesn't have devastating power, the skills aren't there any more, and the punch resistance disappeared when he fought Jeff Lacy. To be honest he was past his best when he fought Sven Ottke.


    I can see no point in Kenny Anderson fighting Robin Reid, if Kenny wins, so what? If Reid wins then Kenny is finished, if Reid gives Kenny any kind of argument then his reputation will be damaged.

    Pointless fight in my opinion.

    Anderson hasn't exactly had a reign of terror since the Groves spanking to justify a shot either

    Ried has looked allot better since PF. I think it will be a decent fight but Anderson stops him after 7.
