He could have won this fight on the inside,on the outside,yet as soon as he was knocked down,he was scared to fight. It was woeful viewing. Lacy STILL has no jab and still loops/arcs/clubs his right hand.
For sure that fight sucked. Lacy just isn't there, though he pressed the "action". Manfredo is junk, period. He looked like he wanted to go home after the knockdown, hell before the knockdown. I suppose he'll say he just got over strep throat and he wasn't himself I hope I never see that garbage fighter again. Both need to do something else, though the surgery for Lacy is at least a good excuse for Jeff.
I think I can cut Jeff some slack due to the injury but still,the flaws which were apparent beforehand were still there,such as poor technique on some punches and a totl lack of jab to set up power punches.Let's talk hypothetically,what if that is as good as his shoulder is going to be and as much as he can use the left? That's the best we are going to see out of him!

Honestly,Manfredo looked like he didn't even want to be there. He stared more at the clock than his opponent. He started off well but went downhill from there,considering he was getting a chcne to shine on one of the big PPV undercards of the year,it was truly abysmal.
