JOE CALZAGHE v ROBIN REID (Full Fight) | WBO WORLD SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE | THE QUEENSBERRY VAULT

[@simonpieman1653]

Calzaghe is amazing but Reid is massively underrated. Superb bout!!

[@gooner72]

Calzaghe is right up there with the best fighters of the late 90's to early 2,000's, his totally flawless career record tells you how good Joe was. Unfortunately for him, I don't think he got the recognition he deserves. He was a top quality boxer and a proper nice bloke as well.

[@jamesmcgarvey756]

Agreed 👍 Boxing 🥊🥊 Genius.

[@ThePrefabsuperstar]

He lost this fight to Reid though. Not that it matters, Joe went on to be a fantastic boxer, one of the very best.

@greenfields1221 you've totally missed the point I said calzaghe wouldn't rematch Reid which is facts and wouldn't defend against Froch which is facts I never went into careers and common opponents as I'm sure your aware that he beat him so he would beat him obviously wouldn't determine the outcome of any fight unless you're a clueless casual no offence

[@rmc4091]

@greenfields1221 it is what it is it never happened but JC was the type of fighter to stay comfortable the wbo in those days ment very little to the top fighters they all wanted the wba.wbc.ibf belts the wbo champion was never rated like the big 3 and Joe's 1st 18 or so world title fights were all wbo and he stayed most of the time in wales/Britain knowing that none of the top Americans at the times wasn't bothered about the wbo so travelling to Britain to challenge for it wasn't attractive some say he was hiding in Wales if you remember Peter manfreado got a shot at Joe's belt if that was nowadays Peter manfreado would be jake Paul's level but calzaghe fans never mention that so Peter manfreado getting a shot at calzaghes belt was credible? But froch not a credible challenger?

[@rmc4091]

@greenfields1221 I don't mean former world champions on his record,,, I mean he only held the wbo for his 1st 18 or so world title fights and also he only won ring magazine belt at light heavyweight not a wbc wba ibf or even a wbo

[@michaelmcfadden4397]

Robin Reid was the fighter who figured out Cazaghi, I honestly think this is Calzaghi's greatest performance because he beat the one guy who figured him out. No-one else got close to stopping Joe Calzaghi.

[@aucourant9998]

That was a great fight. I think many of Calzaghe's punches do more damage than they look like they're doing; Reid's face was evidence of that. Reid hits hard, but Calzaghe could take whatever was thrown at him.

[@geekverve]

I agree. The announcers kept talking about Calzaghe's punches hitting gloves, but I saw a lot of them getting through. They always pointed out when Reid landed a big one, but always seemed to miss it when Joe got one in. Looking at Reid's face, you can't deny Joe did some damage over the course of the fight.

Joe was the full package and real hall of famer. He suffered a bit through his career with injury, but always come them. As an amature Joe won 3 ABA titles at 3 different weights in successive years. Which had never been acheived before or since. He had amazing hand speed, stamina and boxing brain. Joe Calzaghe should in my opinion get a knighthood! Greatest boxer Britain has ever produced hands down. Oh yeah and he always looked cool too!

[@fonhollohan2908]

Ref was way too lenient on Reid he should've penalized him earlier and continued to do so the more he used dirty tactics. Reid did that because of his frustration due to Joes speed mostly, plus Joe outwitted Reid over all and that caused him to have control of the fight. in spite of all that Reid dug down deep and turned it into a slug fest and picked up the pace and it become a brawl and the fans got what they wanted a great fight.

The best fighter ever to grace a ring is Salvador Sanchez. Had the best engine of anyone, fought at same pace in round 15 than he did in round one, never was shook, granite chin, superb moving forward as he was going backwards, sublime footwork, could bang with both hands, would slip punches at ease, had every shot in the book, had the same compure for every minute of every round, never once flustered, amazing hand speed, awesome jab, no fighter ever has come close to him and bare in mind he was just 21 when he died, boxers are in their prime come age 27. Toney one of best ever who neglected the gym and his weight said sanchez is the best as did Roy Jones, no more needed to be said.

This was actually tactically one of Joe's worst performances. Some seem to think Reid figured out Joe. In reality Reid didn't do anything special here. Joe kept getting drawn in and suckered with that overhand right over and over all night. It was the only good punch Reid was landing. Joe's trademark is being able to adjust during the fight, but here he failed to do that.

[@RickyFrench-i8q]

I love this boxer Joe . He was amazing to watch and a class act ! Yes, I would have wanted to see him beat Reid in a rematch.. REID WAS A DIRTY FIGHTER. He deserved a severe ass whooping by Joe Calzaghe. I hated that Joe gave Robin too much respect during and after the fight. Reid hit Calzaghe with a vicious sneaky punch, a low blow to the groin, many rapid punches to the kidneys and hitting before & after the breaks. Reid should have been penalized on these numerous accounts. Reid knew what he was doing! He didn't deserve a rematch with Joe. I wish Joe would have shown Reid that he was pissed about being dirty and disrespectful. If I was in Joe's shoes, I would have told Reid to consider himself lucky because the time we meet maybe fatal !😮

[@ralphy9215]

I think Calzaghe was shocked just how good Reid was. Some fantastic right hands by Reid. I gave rounds 5 and 6 to Reid, the last round equal and the other nine rounds to Calzaghe. Terrible use of the head by Reid and some low blows that weren't picked up on. Reids face at the end sums it up really he lost.
