http://news.boxrec.com/news/2012/robin-reid-box-wbf-title-malta-tony-dodson-undercard http://boxrec.com/show_display.php?show_id=647900 Gare only lost narrowly to Oosthuizen last year, so this is a tough fight for Reid, not sure why he's still going and fighting 12 rounders at his age. Tony Dodson also fighting a 12 rounder for some trinket, Paul Edwards and Joe Selkirk are also on the card. Strange one :think
I think it's a winnable fight for Reid even at this late stage of his career. Not sure what it gets him in the grand scheme of things apart from a couple of paydays defending his new bauble...
Gare is a good 12 round fighter. Lost 15 (against decent opposition) but never been stopped. He only has an 11% KO rate but I can't see Reid lasting 12 rounds at this stage. I think, despite Gare's KO rate, that Robin gets stopped in this one. Probably rounds 6-8 and probably from exhaustion rather than anything Gare does.
Havent seen Gare but would probably agree with the bit I highlighted, I think Reid is past his best now!
Hope Reid wins, he deserves some more paydays after an impressive career that didn't bring the money he should have got. Me too, all this talk of robberies these days, this one takes some beating.
Reid was one of the most underrated British fighters of his generation. He gave Calzaghe hell, clearly beat Ottke and gave us some great fights. To be fair, he keeps himself in great shape and still looks fantastic for his age I say Best of luck to him.
good luck to him. but he has to be rejuvenated. he has been...not shot but on the steady decline since just walking straight into lacy. then there was that really scrappy win over brinkley. then froch just bombing him out. he is finished as a full time competitor. but thats not an insult. he might still have enough in the tank to go 12. and possibly box out cagey him, reids experience at supermiddle is probably the most vast in the division who is still active
Why? He blatantly hit the poor Sven right in the face! Where would the world go to if we are going to allow crap like that?!? :bart
