CC bro.....here's the hip 100! Lacy is not that good a fighter, he just devastated some of the fighters that were well rated in the SMW division before they stumbled across his left hook, and huge shots, which he undoubtedly has. If his rotator cuff or whatever it is hadbeen in full working order, then I'm sure he would have stopped Tsypko.

However, in the drubbing he received against Calzaghe, was the key to how to beat him, and from now on, every fighter that gets a shot against him will be following that blueprint of swift stinging shots, and most of all, avoiding the Lacy bombs. Anyhow, as for Froch v Lacy, I imagine that Froch's workrate isn't up there with Calzaghe, but his movement and elusiveness is very good. If he can avoid getting trapped in the corners by Lacy, and work the side to side movement like Calzaghe, then I imagine another easy points win. Tsypko showed Lacy up as one-dimensional, with only big shots in Lacy's repertoire IMO, and I don't see that Lacy's star can do anything but wane now.

Personally, I don't reckon Lacy would be a good enough fight for Froch, whose star is certainly waxing in the SMW sky, and needs to be fighting contenders for the divisions crown, not the former contender/champs.
