I have to learn from this. Reid's trainer, Al Mitchell, said the plan was working through the first six rounds, as Reid would jab and follow it with a right hand. But he said Reid got lax, and that cost him agaainst as strong a puncher and as superb a boxer as Trinidad is. Reid was leading on all three scorecards after six rounds. Despite the second-half meltdown, Mitchell said Reid isn't far away from stardom.
Young athletes have a tendency to go away from the program.
You have to remember, this is Dave's 15th fight. By the time he gets to his 20th fight, he's going to be a hell of a fighter. He went down, he got up. He went down, he got up. He's already a hell of a fighter.
