I don't know, he didn't look to good to me after the first two rounds, he was constantly overextending his punches and coming in off-balance. Furthermore, he wasn't pulling his punches back after he threw. Tsypko could have taken that fight if he would have capitalized on that by throwing more.

based on that fight, Lacy would lose to the following without question:

Carl Froch
Mikkel Kessler
Allen Green
Lucian Bute

Lacy is now a gatekeeper fighter rather than a contender. Was it an off-night? Maybe, but I would be inclined to say no because he really wasn't able to adjust at all. I like Lacy, he's a class guy and has a lot of heart, but after the Calazghe fight, I don't think he'll ever be the same. Lacy should be fighting Manfredo Jr. that would be a competitive fight IMO.
good point but at this stage Im still prepared to give lacy the benefit of the doubt. it might have just been ringrust too that made him struggle
