Froch brushes off Reid challenge


Reid had few answers to Froch's power and precision

Carl Froch easily defended his British super-middleweight title by stopping former WBC champion Robin Reid after five rounds in Nottingham.

Froch, 30, took control from the start and Reid twice took a standing count before failing to come out of his corner at the start of the sixth round.

"It was a good fight for me and a great peformance by myself," Froch said.

"I have had seven months off after a big knee operation so I eased into it but I will go home a happy man."

Froch's victory means he is number one challenger for Joe Calzaghe's WBC belt.
