So I just watched Calzaghe-Lacy and........

[DannyV297]

Why didn't Lacey go after him. He let Joe do whatever he wanted. It's been a while since Ive seen this.

Brutal beat down Danny.

Lacy lost that fight during the ringwalk ;-) I was there that night and it was 2am start with about 17,000 v drunk Brits ... Lacy looked like a little boy when he walked into the Arena

[p4pking]

I've just watched it for the eighth time in dim lighting, sound muted and scored 115-113 for Calzaghe. Lacy didn't get credit for his style and Calzaghe just slapped excepting for the odd miracle punch. Lacy didn't get knocked out from those either. Marquez knocked out Pacquiao after Manny had been in with him for 3 times as long as Lacy against Calzaghe, and neither of those guys are American. Lacy was American. Steroids.

115-113 really ? thats got to be 1 of the most 1 sided fights ever

I just watched some highlights after seeing this thread - Lacy did land a few decent punches early, but Calzaghe walked right through them.

This shows how little you know about boxing.

I don't know ANYBODY, personal friend, or worldwide renowned pundit that could even give Lacy one round, yet you gave him 5.


Chris Eubank said, his punches are kind of like slaps, but every single one of them hurt.

I remember that I couldn't believe that Jeff lost this fight. I still don't know why he didn't attack, even when he knew that he had to knock Calzaghe out, nothing came from his end. I thought those cuts were from punches too, not from head clashes, like lacy was claiming. Lacy was never the same.

[Dia bando]

It's CALLED A Master full display of boxing, by Calzaghe he was many levels above Lacy,
Jeff was a monster puncher, and would eat Joe alive by the media, but it was not to be
he had his head boxed off, he took a bad beating and it Fucked him up simple.
Lacy was given the mantel of the second coming of Tyson, Lacy's corner were a Fucking
disgrace, for letting they fighter taking a career ending hiding and it did.!

Calzaghe was brilliant that night - absolutely on fire with his skill level

Because every time he moved to attack Calzaghe shifted and hit him with 3 , 4 or 5 punches.

Lacy is the perfect example of media hype gone wrong. It's so important to take the right steps as a young fighter but Lacy was pushed too fast. U dont go from fighting the Sheikas and the pembertons of the division to stepping up to a world class talent like Calzaghe.. His handlers obviously had alot of faith in him and at the same time they didnt think much of Calzaghe but boy did they miscalculate..

Exactly - Lacy wasnt pushed too fast in terms of what he was meant to be able to handle and in fairness Calzaghe had beaten an ageing Eubank and got knocked down by Mitchell and someone else - admittingly getting up to win - but them and mario veit with close decisions vs brewer and reid - hell I would probably have made the same error and thought it would at the very least be a touch and go either way fight

[smashup]

Lacy was totally overwhelmed by the whole thing. He got a proper pub atmosphere reception and was well out of his comfort zone ... soon as JC landed a few he knew he as well out of his league and Calzaghe was on one ;-).

JC battered him silly all night long.
