For the second time that these two have fought.
They fought before in June of 2004 in a bout that was to decide the number one contender to the vacant IBF Super Middleweight title.
The fight was stopped in the second round due to a severe cut that Tsypko received courtesy of an accidental headbutt from Lacy. The bout was ruled a no contest…
Tsypko, formely EBU European champ, can be a very very good boxer when it suits him - even though Brian Magee had an argument for their fight (which Vitali won) and recently Jackson Chanet of France beat him - is he the right sort of candidate to begin in-roads to the top of the division again? who knows but next Saturday we'll find out.
