Jeff Lacy Retiring - Taylor Fight Is Off!

[JT Rock]

Thats all I can say... Truly a sad day for me, my top 2 fighters retireing a month apart..

I rather see Lacy go like this then get brutally defeated and embarassed... I think Floyd Mayweather sr would have been perfect for Jeff a real down to earth guy with defensive prowess and technique

Just plain gutted and crushed

You're the first person I thought of when I seen this. I know that you have been a long time supporter of his, so I knew you wouldn't like seeing this, and I almost didn't post it, because I didn't want to bum you out on the day of the big fight.

Who knows, maybe he's just saying it in the heat of the moment. I just read another article where Winky Wright says that he thinks that Jeff is just frustrated with the business, and he doesn't think that he will retire. I guess we'll see.

Hang in there.

Thanks I'll try to... Jeff just dosent seem like himself even before this fight in the lead up he just has a different way about him hard to explain... I know this sounds even dumber but when I saw that strange beard on him it was odd and un Lacy like...

All I was gonna say too is that even if this fight came off Jermain was still on the tail end of 2 Pavlik losses and seemed a little off his game too, so even though Taylor is the favorite I wasnt convinced he was a favorite by much

Fighters say a lot of things when they're still emotional after a fight. I'd be pretty surprised if he walks away from what should be a nice payday against Taylor.

I hope he retires he may have pay days but he is not the same fighter and would loose at the top level every time he fought there. He was going to lose to Taylor and he probably would fight another 3 fights against lower tier opponents and then lose again to a Pavlik, Arthur Abraham's etc.
