I read it's the 10th - Friday. I didn't see that it will be on TV, seems like that should be on FNF @ the very least.

some guy whos 19-4-2 with 7 KO's.. awesome.
Hope Jeff Lacy knocks him out!
He has the heart of a champion, if not much else anymore. Terrible his shoulder had to take a dump on him like that.
I agree, I think he's moved to 175 too.Quote:

He never established a jab or cross, he just loaded up on hooks.
Couldn't have said it better Taeth. Lacy has freakish power(his punch power measured more than everyone on the 2000 Olympic team) and good speed he just doesn't want to use boxing fundamentals. He only wants to go for a one or two punch knockout. He throws all loaded punches. And yes, his heart and soul are gone. I think Calzaghe did that. Lacy realizes that in deepwater he really has no plan B.Quote:

Lacy is going to have trouble with Otis. Its a good match becuase for Lacy because Otis does not hit hard, but either does Lacy. Otis has Yusaf's trainner in his corner. So I expect a win for Otis unless the ref;s favor Lacy like they usally do ALA Mendoza fight he won on ESPN that should of been a loss!
Lacy struggles to look good against anyone these days, but he should win this. I like Lacy, hopefully he can finish out his career with a few wins. He was saying on Fightnews that he might be facing Jones Jr next maybe at a catchweight.
What have you ever done with your life that gives you the right to rubbish Jeff? I bet he has more heart than you will EVER have at any stage in your life.Quote:
