Jermain or Jeff?
I Picked Jermain as Jeff has looked awful recently.
Taylor UD for me too.
My heart says Jeff, but my head says Taylor:-\
This is going to be two heartbreaking back to back weeks for me:(
I have a gut feeling Lacy is going to stop Taylor. Chazz will get the swamp donkey out of there too.
taylor by ko. lacy has no defense.
So far in 2008, in ALL the fights I've been really interested in or excited about, I've been rooting for the fighters who lost the fight. Katsidis losing to Casamayor and Diaz, Hopkins losing to Calzaghe, Cotto losing to Margarito, Pavlik losing to Hopkins. My three favorite fighters right now are Pac, Pav, and Cotto. Now with Pac about to fight De La Hoya, you can easily see how boxing has depressed me in 2008...Quote:

I was a big Lacy fan but after seeing his last few fights I dont think he is the same fighter he was and I now believe he was overrated. Actually when I used to watch him I noticed how fast combos would freeze him and it eventually caught up to him when he faced world class opposition. I see Taylor stopping him.
Wish this one had happened earlier but Taylor Via TKO but not easily.I think Lacy is on the other side but he does not lack courage and believes in his power.Taylors right hand off a effective jab will catch Lacy flush & often.
Taylor should win, but I will be willing Lacy on. The guy has had shit luck and poor performances ever since that Calzaghe dusting. Its as good a time as any to take on Jermaine though, and Taylor has struggled against mediocre opposition in the past himself.
Could turn into a decent scrap if Lacy can find some semblance of form.
lacy wins by ko cause lacy ma boy
Judging from Lacy's past couple of fights I think Taylor will stop him. Then again seeing as they are friends I could see it going to the cards in an uneventful fight. Cintron should win by UD or maybe even a KO. According to boxrec Richards co-holds a amateur knockout record with Mike Tyson. I think I'll take the Swamp Donkey ;) Adam Richards - Boxrec Boxing Encyclopaedia
im thinking Lacy by stoppage, great weekend for fights!
Lacy via 4th round tackle!!
On a serious note, I'll go with Taylor via decision.
Im not sure Lacy strikes fear into Taylor as say, Pavlik did...
..and that could in reality be Jeff's best chance of winning actually.
Underestimation on Taylor's part.
JT by TKO, Lacy will either get frustrated or hurt or even legitimately KO'd. Taylor has a lot to fight for after Pavlik looked that bad vs Hopkins and Hopkins looked that good vs Pavlik and hell Calzaghe is always a far off option who I think he could hang with
I think Taylor will win the most boring fight in history ;)
JT decision.
Thought I'd give this a bump since it's almost time, and an intriguing contest at that.
I'm still sticking with Taylor, but I'll hedge my bets by saying IF Lacy wins then Ice will open a thread the next day saying that the VERSION of Lacy that beat Taylor would dominate JC, and then he'll demand a rematch.
;D Only having a little fun. Does anyone think the weight may be a factor and prove to be a small equaliser in Lacy's favour?
Tough to say these two are such a question mark and there are so many factors that make this a hard fight to predict for me.. Like I always say Lacy is my favorite fighter and I always hope in my heart he pulls it out, but Taylor on his game(which he hasnt been since he won the middleweight crown) is a damn good boxer and fighter.. Much respect to both guys though, there is alot at stake in this matchupQuote:

Depending how Taylor wants to fight this fight i think he will have it his own way either a boxing clinic for 12 nds or even a possible beat down for 12 rnds.
Then i want to see Taylor v Kessler in 2009.
