WNF Thread Lacy vs. Mendoza

[killersheep]

Damn talk about hitting the nail on the head......who'd you say is gonna win the cotto/margarito fight again lol ?!! (starting the car heading to place a big bet in vegas...).

lol. I certainly don't feel as confident on Cotto/Margarito. Right now I'm gonna say this: Margarito is gonna start strong taking most of the early rounds, Cotto gets up off the canvas and switches to boxer mode and finishes string but It's too late in the fight and it looks like Margarito should still walk away with a close decision, but Cotto wins a UD with one scorecard being ridiculously favoring Cotto. 175 new threads are started on Saddoboxing dedicated to the topic, many by new members.

That's my guess not that confident though probably have a whole new opinion in an hour.

If Margarito starts by taking the early rounds there is no stopping him. IMO.

We'll have to see, I do think Cotto is a champ that can turn it around. I have a hard time imagining Margarito starting with a "feeling out" round, which may work as a disadvatage in the championship rounds.

I think Lacy peaked 2 years ago... I take nothing away from Mendoza though... Fun fight to watch even though Jeff is teatering on the edge of a cliff...


Funny thing is that Jeff shows flashes of VERY good skill... He has a decent Jab... he moves well... He has power in both hands... But he is just so technically flawed. It is as if the Calzaghe fight and all since then have taught him nothing.

I was rooting for him and can't wait to see him in action again as Mendoza has a good chin and most would have crumbled under many of Jeff's blows.

I just don't see him getting any better at 31. I could be wrong and hope I am for his sake... But I thik he's on a legit downslide...

I'm always late posting!

Anyway, I found it funny that Jeff "Left Tackle" Lacy admitted to tackling Mendoza to buy time. Why didn't he use all of that experience to finish Mendosa, and where was that experience when he was eating like 50 uppercuts?

I just don't see Lacy going anywhere but down.

Great fight, Lacy looked far from impressive again though.
