I'm proud to say I always said Lacy was shit. If people would look past his muscles to watch the action they would have known that too. People can't see past the "talent" to see the fighter.

This was no major upset though even to the bookees. Lacy was a very slight favorite.

I won big on Holyfield over Tyson, that was my biggest win for years. Tyson was another guy people could never see for what he really was, Pacquiao too. When folks start to realize greatness comes from the mind not from athleticism it will become hard to fleece them.
