Lacy is the absolute definition of a one-dimensional puncher which is great when your knocking guys out, but then what? If they outgun you, then what.

I had 95-95 tonight and I feel generous about that. Also Lacy looked pretty solid in the first round, but after that there was a noticable decrease in handspeed. Not impressed at all. Sorry JT.
I thought he looked lackluster and lethargic and his punch resistence was off... Lacy is known to have a granite chin and decent stamina.. I also think Mendoza got away with tons of fouls... I mean when has over hand karate chops ever been legal especially to the back of the head... I counted over 25 of them... Not to mention a 3 punch combo to Lacys nuts when he buzzed Epi.Then earlier Mendoza was clearly dropped with the ropes holding him up he ricoched off of Lacy then hit the ground and it was ruled a slip and Mendoza was cleary warned over 6x for holding... Not saying these things would have made Lacy look better but it would have a tall order for anyone to handle..

Lacy's defense wasnt as bad as the past, he was slipping punches and moving his head.. Lacy got caught on the inside because he wasnt working as hard as he usually does... I think he is weight drained and suited for 175 before he figures out a permanent plan.. He has been knocked down to a B fighter these days which seem weird because he only has one loss on his record, but none the less if he continues like this he will get brutally taken out by someone who is a sharper puncher(Jermain Taylor)

2 things are for sure

1) he looked sharper and punched with more conviction in this fight then he did against Manferdo

2)This guy is a warrior and literally willed his way to a victory last nite
