From BBC Sport

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.

Joe is laughing off fighting Froch, saying he does not need him, he wants big fights.

Yes Joe, going after fighters you should have fought 5 to 6 years ago. Only going after them now, now you have a glimmer of a chance against them.
