ITVs boxing coverage - Did it give us a different veiw when Joe fought Jeff?
I've just been thinking, seeing as when ITV show boxing we either get adverts or just 1 fighters corner, did it affect are veiw of Calzaghe versus Lacy? We sore nothing of Lacy's corner, it made it seem like the Lacy camp didn't have a plan B or C and not much of a plan A either. Dan Birmingham was allegadly giving him advice that Lacy was just ignoring, instead plodding forwards and lunging with wild hooks. I doubt the fight would of turned out different if Lacy had listened to his corner but it makes you wonder why ITV think they can put adverts inbetween the rounds which are equally as important as the actual boxing.

You could talk for years but the end result would still be that Jeff Lacy was a sub top smw. I guess thah he still has some nut-huggers but the truth is thath he will never be a force in smw. Just watch the Calzaghe fight - he did more bad than Evains Ashira.

the evans ashira fight wasnt the same though. joe says himself he was finding it hard to motivate himself for fighters like that. he was well up for the lacy fight and it showed

I think I saw his corner in one of the later rounds where he couldn't of followed a game plan if he wanted to. I'm not so much going on about Lacy as Dan Birmingham (lacy's coach) and his strategy
