    Not sure but my brother in law lives in England and we watched the fight there when we were visiting

    A few minutes later: According to ESPN Boxing it was shown in the states on Showtime, but I don't know that it was.

    Scored it a draw. Reid landed the harder, cleaner punches in a lot of rounds and I weighed them more heavily than Calzaghe's shoe-shining arm punching.

    I've scored this fight to either man before now. Absolutely not a robbery. Very close fight between two top 5 SMW opposition.

    its an either way fight, no one should have any trouble scoring it for either man.

    In fact a draw is the best score you could give it.

    its not a defining fight for joe, its a very poor win - its basically the first time he stepped up to someone world class, and he was matched equally, unable to prove he was better.

    Ref was clearly on the Frank Warran pay roll. Had to get in that point deduction or else Joey Boy would have lost the fight.

    a fight that is a possible or even probable loss, can never be a defining fight.

    but it is the first time joe stepped up to world level before he fought kessler, so in that sense, yeh.
