Taylor-Lacy: All or nothing !!!

[killersheep]

I've seen the fight and i never said Mendoza couldn't punch, but he is very limited and a gatekeeper. Everytime he has stepped up he has lost except for when he stopped Rubin Williams.

But thats the only good name he has ever stopped, saying Mendoza hits incredibly hard is overrating Mendoza seriously too much. Before he fought Jeff Lacy everyone considered Mendoza a joke of an opponent, and infact not many people had even heard of him.

I don't see why now people are suddenly considering him as a massive puncher, and a good opponent because he hurt Jeff Lacy and lost a controversial decision. I think its more to do with the fact how much of a shot fighter Jeff Lacy is now, he got hit with the uppercut all night long. And had no gameplan or no defense.

lol, I do consider Mendoza a powerful puncher, and a good opponent, would I say Epi is title contender level? no way,
top 10 at 168? not a chance
but you could sure find out in a hurry how your fighter would handle wild power punches.

You just basically agreed with what i said Mendoza is nowhere the elite level, he hasn't got world class punching power, and he is not a title contender. All i think this fight tells us is how far Jeff Lacy has fallen, that he now struggles against someone as limited as Mendoza.

Well you got 2 out of 3 right, Mendoza has power, your denying it doesn't make it less true. In fact, I think that you are the only one that thinks Mendoza doesn't have world class power.
