When has Joe looked "average and normal" to you, Starr? Do you believe that his impressive performance against Lacy was an aberration or a fluke?
No, I think it happened exactly as it should have.

Watching Lacy against Sheika, Wiggins and Williams and even Vanderpool didn't tell you what was going to happen? He made Wiggins look like a master class boxing world beater before he finally bailed himself out with power.

It was very apparent to me a long time ago that Lacy started depending on his power more and less on listening to his trainer. He didnt listen to his corner in the Richard Grant fight. He wouldn't listen to Freddie Roach against Wiggins, he didn't listen to Birmingham against Vanderpool Williams or Sheika. And he didn't listen to Birmingham against Calzaghe.

Given Jeff's style and his unwillingness to listen to his corner and depending solely on his power instead of a gameplan, Calzaghe did exactly what he was supposed to do.
