No not Tito Vs Jones but Tarver Vs Lacy? I see Tarver KO Lacy in the mid rounds, Lacy has looked horrible as of late and is simply trash, this fight should end his career as a big fight boxer.

Another good match-up for 2008! Tarver will clean Lacy up!!!
This may be the end of Lacy. Hopefully he gets a decent payday before he is turned into a journeyman.
I'm assuming this will be at light heavy and Im confused as to why Lacy has taken this, I wasn't aware he was having trouble making 168. If the weight suits him though this could be an interesting match up. Both suffered crushing defeats and both have hit the comeback trail rather slowly. Last chance saloon here I guess - one of them has a future in the big time, a must win fight for both of them and could be just whats needed to scare a bit of life into them.

Tarver isn't the biggest draw out there, but he's still a pretty big one. This will be Lacy's last fight that will be considered even remotely "big," and this will be the biggest payday he'll have for the rest of his career.
Tarver by KO in 11
Tarver will win a boring UD this fight did slightly interest me last year but not now. Both men have looked garbage in there last fights. And both men have been badly exposed after getting a lot of hype, no interest in this one at all.
I don't know man have you seen Tarver lately he's F****** awful.Quote:

But Tarver is 40 years old! Not only that he's a former homeless crack head too!
I think in this fight the referee will likely wave the fight off around the 7 th round and call a No Decision on the grounds that the crowd is unable to continue :cwm33:
YES!!!!!!!!!.......This fight should sell 5 maybe 6 tickets :D
I see Tarver by lopsided points win in a dreadful fight. Lacy is done.
The real fight will be who can keep there eyes open until the end of the fight.
Seems to me like Lacys cashing out here. I mean he just doesn't look like someone who wants to be in the ring.
What is he doing moving up to LHW?
What for?
I just think this is a all or nothing fight for him.
I'm gonna say Tarver by UD.
This could be bigger than expected in the Tampa area.Tarver is from Tampa and Lacy trains out of St.Pete's gym.THis could be big in St.Pete's times forum.Should definetly sell at least 25 tickets not five or six. ;)
I get the feeling that if Tarver fought literally in his mum's back yard with all his family there he'd still get booed and jeered on the way to the ring :-\Quote:

But boy, he sure looks tough, right? So let hype him up and pretend he was ever a decent fighter. Man these divisions must be weak!

Depends if Jeff has shaken off the rust from his last fight imo. If he has,then the fight would be competetive although,you're right,I'd still go for Tarver. I didn't think this fight had been confirmed though,because Lacy said he would never do business with Gary Shaw involved,ever.Quote:

Give the guy a break, he got his azz kicked by Calzaghe, tore his shoulder really bad and looked Rusty against Manfredo and put Manfredo on his azz which is something no one has ever done and he did it with his RIGHT hand... Who ever says inactivity dosent hinder performance is a little off
Tarver is old and was nothing more than bullshit to begin with and impeccable timing to get Jones jr on the slide
But how can you say with any real confidence that Lacy was just rusty against Manfredo, and that it wasn't irreperable damage done to him from his cuff injury, the loss to Calzaghe, his mindstate etc. I mean he has yet to beat a top fighter, let's not forget that... And timing or not, Lacy would have never EVER had a hope in hell against the Jones Jr that fought Tarver.Quote:

hahahaha ! both are shit and by beating each other they are not proving anything. Its going to be very boring, a low hit rate fight. If Tarver can catch lacy it may get intresting, but I can see a bore fest on the cards here. I think Tarver will beat Lacy but not in any form of style. I think Tarver needs to go after woods or Dawson, both of them will stop him though.
He's already quite short for a super middleweight. Is he even going to be able to get close to Tarver? I think at 5'9 he's too short for a light heavy.
