Kessler ready for Lacy
http://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/anden_s...icle368117.ece
Translation(sorry for bad spelling),damm web-Translated
Mikkel Kessler has to go over Atlanten possibly in order to box his next fight in the efforts in coming closer at a new title match in one of the big boxing organisations(WBA,WBC,WBO,IBF).
That is what Ekstra Bladet will write on Tuesday, where the name Jeff Lacy is stated more times.
The American fighter defeated the night before Sunday the punchbag Peter Manfredo, and promoter Mogens Palle do not conceal that Lacy is a good messenger.
Kessler himself is of course also lucid on the task. -
Of course there is my goal to become a world champion again
But if HBO has good fights, so I can come in the World-picture again, it are fine with myself, says the former world champion to the newspaper
Poor poor Lacy,this fight will finished him for good

Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
Kessler is damn good, Lacy had better bring his A game.
If he does it could be a highly entertaining fight as they both have Iron chins massive hearts and potential to KO each other.

I don't see it that way at all, Kessler is going to give Lacy a one sided beating.

Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
Yeah Kessler will beat Lacy badly. I would rather see Kessler/Miranda next year, but both would be fine with me ;D

Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
Complete mismatch. Kessler will kill him.
-
Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
Kessler is ready for Lacy yes i agree but Jeff is in no way ready for Kessler.

Kessler has looked superior, but i'm not writing off Jeff.
I don't think he'll take a Kessler fight yet, he's rebuilding and needs a LOT more time first.

Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
It's funny we ALL would say Kessler would beat up on Jeff now,but before the Calzaghe fight,we ALL except for the most HARDCORE of Kessler fans thought that Jeff would batter Kessler and Kessler was nothing but an over rated fighter from Europe!
How wrong we were,including myself. At this stage,Kess would beat on Jeff,but I wouldn't totally rule out Lcy,IF and its a big if,he can get his form,pre Joe fight,back.

Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
I love how the translation calls him "the punchbag Manfredo." LMAO.

I never thought Lacy would beat up Kessler, i see Lacy fights before Calzaghe fight, and i see him struggle with mediocre fighters like Omar Sheika and Syd Vanderpool, i never thought Lacy was much. But after his last couple of fights my estimation of him has gone even more down, i gave him benefit of the doubt against Vitali Tsypko, because of the injury but there was no excuse for his poor performance against an average fighter like Manfredo. opponent's like Manfredo if your world class your supposed to blow away comfortably, sorry but i did give Lacy a chance to impress and he failed there was no excuse for his performance against Manfredo, Kessler will give Lacy a beating.

They speak about Kessler going to the US (which is a bit of news), and when asked about Lacy Kessler confirms that it he wouldnt mind taking the fight, if HBO put it together. Which obviously means that yes, Kessler is ready for Lacy. But so is probably just about any other smw who saw Lacy's fight against Manfredo.

Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
Kessler will murder lacy if that Manfredo fight is anything to go buy.

I hope they put Manfraudo in with Kessler to so he can beat that bum silly. I can't wait for Miranda and Andrade to put their hands on Petey as well, and get him gone for f#cks sake. Manafraido is a joke ;D

Well, I felt I was picking on Cintron too much, so I decided to share equally with another deserving p.o.s. Someone who just sits there and stares at the clock on a big night under the lights against Lacy deserves his due attention. So sorry :'(

Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
It was a dull fight in general, but Lacy is also guilty of not giving it his all.

Very true, though I'll give him a slight break due to that massive surgery he had and alot of ring rust. But to be honest I don't think much of either :-\ Of course I should be sympathetic to Petey Pie, as he had strep throat before the fight :'(....... ;D Just messing with you Donny Boy ;)

Lacy did give it his all. Thats all he has left. Joe beat the fight out of him. ;D

Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
This will be nothing more then a showcase for Kessler....I was really hoping Jeff would show us something on Saturday but he looked bad....I can't really say why...Shoulder?...His heart did not really seem into it at times.....Kessler is not a smart move for him...the payday itself will not be big enough to make up for the end of his career....
IMO his camp should take some more small fights in hopes of Jeff pulling it together before going for broke

HaHa doesn't bother me.
I myself gave Lacy the benefit of the doubt because of the surgery, but i truely feel Manfredo should be prosecuted for not taking advantage of Lacy's ring rust!

Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
Lacy's mobility/footwork is shocking now. He seems to stagger and shamble through fights after a couple of rounds.
I saw the fight where he did his shoulder and he looked quite good for a round or so, but he didn't even manage that against Manfredo. There's no way he's world class at the minute.
If he fights Kessler he'll get another one-sided beating, except Kessler might have the power to KO him. Not a good option for Lacy.

Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
Lacy needs to build his punch rate and confidence back up against bums first if he fought Kessler now he would'nt see round 7.
-
Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
shit i bet he is after seeing lacy on saturday. If that lacy shows up to fight kessler, he might beat him worse than joe did.
-
Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
Jeff is a very good fighter a good kid , IMO Jeff needs a few matches to work on things , before taking on this challenge, coming off a debilitating injury and surgery take your time mate !
Jeff will need all cylinders firing in order to beat this Kessler fellow. I believe he has what it takes mentally and physically to accomplish such a task in due time. At the moment the punches are coming off a bit slow , telegraphed .

Peter deserves it. And for the record. I think Kessler makes a fool out of Lacy.

Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
Lacy has a punchers chance and that's all he has.

Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
Why the hell would Kessler want to fight Lacy after that travesty? Why not look for someone else to beat up that's worth something?
-
Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
Kessler/lacy would be just like kessler/andrade except lacy wouldn't be able to take those bombs from kessler, he would be dropped and down with in 4
-
Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
Aren't they already sacrificing Lacy to Tarver, or is that not happening now that Lacy's so obviously done? It would be nice if that boring-ass Manfredo fight at least led to a quicker Tarver-Dawson matchup.

but this fight against Lacy will be a great possibility for Kessler to been well-known in US,from now on,Kessler will be avoided like the plague by other top dog in SMW(Bute/Inkin/froch) or he can fight a guy like Berrio, who can no longer make big money fights. Kessler can offer Berrio a decent purse and he will take the fight.
Then Kessler needs to kick his ass so he can get rated by the ABC's and they will force someone to fight him

That's not a very smart move.....what about Bute? There are only so many good fighters at 168 and America has none of them right now.

Fucking hell i hate people like you.
:sadclick:
Seriously, boxing doesn't need people like you... "beat that bum" Manfredo is no bum, he is someone who puts his health on the line everytime he steps into that ring. sure in years to come very few will remeber him, but he tried, what more can he do? if every non-world class fighter retired after they failed to win a title boxing would have fuck all people left in it.
I love a teare up, as much as the next guy, but just wanting to watch someone beat someone silly in the ring? your not a boxing fan, your a fan of violence.

Fair enough Rob. Plenty on here you can SC for saying alot worse than I did. But here's a CC for you, at least you told me why you SC'd me, and I respect that.
Oh, and for the record Mr. Lewis, I hardly call what Manfredo did the other night "putting his health on the line". Maybe his career, but not his health :) LMAO

Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
I could be arsed to read through it all... Everyone knows I'm like 1 of 2 hardcore Lacy fans left, the other being AMAT. Bottom line, Lacy was obviously ring rusted and a little apprehensive about letting the left fly consistently. If Lacy was to fight Kessler in 6 months he would get his azz beat down... if he had 3 fights where he looked like he was making signigant progress, then I would say it would make for a good fight.

Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
i think kessler will destroy lacy he is in a different league than him
-
Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
cant see kessler having much trouble with lacy.still think lacy.s heart was broken after calzage fight and after watching his fight in vegas not convinced by him,
-
Re: Kessler ready for Lacy
Well, Lacy is sure as hell not ready for Kessler. Everyone knows it, including Jeff. He needs to get back to basics and get a few keep busy fights in and get his shit together. If he were to fight even Tarver next without any more tune up or nothin, I'd have to pick Tarver to most likely stop him, or least beat him up pretty bad.

Swaying me a bit there.I think i'll reserve my lacy comments till his next fight.
