Nick Diaz vs. Jeff Lacy BOXING

[greynotsoold]

It is curious to me that Diaz is considered to have good boxing/striking skills. I'm not somebody that has followed his career, but in the video I've seen, his skills are embarassing. He pokes, he slaps, he flails. He is, at best, a novice amateur, when it come to punching.
Now, Lacy is shot and has been for a long time. Before he was shot, when he was at his peak, he was at best, a mediocre fighter. Not much at all.
If there is even a hint that Diaz might be a money-maker in boxing, Lacy will lose, and he'll make good money too. He will certainly not be trying to win, and he'll take the payday, as he has to realize that his days of being in the hunt ended long ago. In a legitimate fight, he would probably have to KO Diaz in spite of himself.
Neither can fight-box- a lick and it is a shame that boxing has come to this.

I would never choose to hang out with Diaz, but I do enjoy watching the guy fight. That being said I have little to no interest in these circus type fights. If Diaz wins then Lacy is just a washed up can and if he loses then Diaz is just an MMA fighter that had no business in a boxing ring to start out. The guy needs to get out of Strike Force and return to the UFC. There is a long list of top WWs there for him to fight and earn the paychecks he wants.

[No Contest]

I can easily picture Diaz getting a DQ, he may stay on the ground attempting up kicks when he's knocked down.
