Roy Jones Jr vs Jeff Lacy

[pacman79]

a think lacy will outwork jones and lacy has got some good power and we all no jones cant take good shots but a wouldnt be surprised if jones won by a wide points win just got the feeling lacy with land a big bomb on jones and finish him

I can see Jones using a tight Winky Wright style defence like he did at the start of the Trinidad fight.
He knows he has a to protect his chin and has adjusted his style.
He is too ring smart to get caught by lacy.
It will be a clinic with Jones toying with Lacy and winning a wide decision.
Styles make fights and Lacy is made for Jones.

Jones is not that far gone that lacy can ko him. Way too slow and im not sure his power is still there. I think tko win for jones.

[BIG H]

I think Lacy would steal a points win in the dullest fight in history

[AdamGB]

I think as long as Jones isn't stupid and doesn't try to fight off the ropes too much he wins it... Lacy is too much of a puncher for Jones at this point but I've never rated his boxing ability.

[blegit]

Yeah, like one post said Lacy has never been the same since Calzaghe. Lacy never had any boxing skills but his ferociousness is gone. He used to fight determined and with that power he has always wreaked havoc. But that determination and ferociousness is gone...but the power is still there. So if not for a bomb to land then RJJ should win this one handily. Both fighters do need to quit though.

[ono]

Jones will put on a clinic imo.

Lacy's only hope is Jones lays on the ropes too much and takes stupid shots. He got caught by a few from Sheika which he didn't need to take.

Not sure on Lacy's power...never been that sure on it tbh. Over-rated! Going into the Calzaghe fight i think he only had 1 legitimate actual KO where the fighter was down for the count. Think it was a bit of a myth developed based on his nickname, physique and KO record (including tko's).

He has some power but maybe only just above average at best. Roy should be able to take him for either a comfortable points win or a late tko.

Would be good to watch. I love wathcing Roy, and i have a lot of respect for Lacy - great heart.

i'd be just as interested in who butterbean was fighting on the undercard of this meaningless fight. Click both for what it matters.

I to think Jones will fight like Winky, hands high but the problem he does get hit in this posture also. Calzaghe,Trinidad,Tarver all snapped his head way back while his hands were on the bookshelf.

I can see Lacy winning this but also I can see Jones winning. Jones of old would have had fun with Lacy but this is an OLD Roy Jones. Lacy has nothing but pressure and we do see what happens to Jones when pressured. For me it depends on what Jones shows up. If he moves even a little bit he will make Lacy miss,but when was the last time we seen Jones on the bicycle after about the fourth round. I can't pick this one yet a little too far away.

[Kirkland Laing]

Easy Jones win.

[GAME]

We can compare their fights with Joe. Jones had him down and was never on the deck and thats when he was past his best . Prime Lacy never got near Joe and was on the canvas

Jones wins on points.

[pacman79]

Jones is just too quick for Lacy
Jones by wide ud

[OumaFan]

I guess Jones on points in the least anticipated fight since Jones-Calzaghe, Jones-Trinidad, Jones-Badi Ajamu and so on.
