Well I tell you what, Mendoza is 6' 1" and we know he is definately a one-trick power pony. I say that if Lacy doesn't impress tonight, and by that I mean a he has to do something that hurts Mendoza, he has no chance at 175. Mendoza has power, but his chin has been his downfall.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
When he destroyed Robin Reid I must admit I thought that we had a new superstar in boxing but if ever a defeat destroyed a fighter it was that one Lacy suffered against Calzaghe. I mean did anyone see the performance that Reid put up against Calzaghe? He lost a close SD (RIGHTLY SO) and then got destroyed off Lacy. Must have just been an extraordiary night for Lacy because i'd still fancy Reids chances with Manfredo and Lacy really did struggle with that bum.
Sorry guys I'm gonna have to wait for some time to dish out anymore rep. I'll have to give ya'll IOU's

OK, now I join the Toney fans from last week in hoping for not just a win but an improved product in the ring. Like Toney's sparring video, this video provides some encouragement as he seems to have some handspeed back. Needs that speed back, and he needs to stop lumbering and fast on his feet again. I'll be wearing my fanhood in my signature, I just really hope for a good performance, all I can really for at this stage. This is pretty much make or break and who knows, if he's electrifying then maybe I don't have to worry so much about his fight with Jermain Taylor which I don't foresee as going well.
Hope for the best, I do think that the Manfredo fight was a fluke. In the 2 rounds before he tore his rotator cuff against Typsko he looked really good so I'm hoping for a repeat of that performance. I don't think he'll lose but a loss at this point would be just not looking good.

I'm nervous, I don't like this one bit.
Reid was all but finished by the time he fought Lacy.
The worst outcome here would be an unconvincing Lacy victory as it'll lead to an uninspiring matchup with Taylor. Id he wins well then the same fight might be intriguing, otherwise the fans are better off if he loses.
Lacy's been talking good, but sparring and fighting aere different, and he has a lot of mental and physical scars to contend with.
A lot of people were still taking Reid to win including Calzaghe himself. That was a destruction, my favorite Lacy fight and I think he was at his peak there. Was amazed at how well he covered ground in that one and used the jab to cut off the ring and get inside, that's something we haven't seen him do since.
Good little video. Very much looking forward to tonight.
What time does the Lacy fight start ET please? Hopefully I can find a stream on TVU or similar.
I watched ESPN FNF for the first time ever last week on TVU. Can't believe I never thought of looking for it online before.![]()
Well I'm central time in Texas so ET should be an hour ahead. Am I retarded?
