Did the Calzaghe fight ruin Jeff Lacy?

[JT Rock]

Absolutley, when that fight finished so did Lacy.
He lost ever bit of mental strength and fortitude that he had built.

He was actually a gutsy fighter, he kept coming after Calzaghe, he never stopped trying, but the loss was a complete and uter domination.

I disagree completely about Lacy losing all his mental strenght and fortidude.


Apart from his physical strength pretty much all Lacy has is his heart and will to win.

I have to say, I'm a big Jeff Lacy fan, in my mind no boxer gives his all more than Jeff Lacy.

To get beat for every minute of every round like he did against Joe Calzaghe but to keep fighting to the very end, to fight with a torn rotator cuff from the second round against Tyspko and pull out a win and to come back from being rocked several times against Mendoza to dig deep and make sure he won the final round and therefore the fight shows the heart and mental strength of a true champion imo.

Lacy is limited technically, and his power was overratted but for heart, determination, dedication to the sport and sheer iron will Lacy is possibly America's best fighter imo.

I already Repped you, and this post hits it right on the head 10000% not to mention Lacy dosent complain AT ALL!!!!

Mendoza karate chopped Lacy at least 20X to the back of the head

Mendoza after being rocked and stumbling landed a 3 punch combo to Lacys crouch, Jeff didnt complain

The only time I saw Lacy complain is when he tagged Mendoza and he flew backwards into the ropes and richoched off of Jeff and hit the floor.. The ref called it a slip when the ropes were the only thing holding up Mendoza
