Takes a very strong character to come back from the type of beating that Joe gave him and the fight i saw on saturday was a disgrace imo.
Lacy knew he'd lost that and i had him down by 2 rounds at the end just like these lot did

Tsypko was robbed plain and simple and the judging stank out the venue (All at the mates of Smash house agreed too).
Lacy is now out for roughly 12 months which means he'll be knocking on 31 on his return and well,well down the rankings with fighters such as Froch inevitably leap frogging him in that period.
I honestly think it is a huge ask for him to claw his way back from this injury.
And when Tsypko had him wobbling in the 8th round the Lacy that got bashed by Joe appeared to be back with us as he flinched and scrambled his way out of trouble before the bell went.
As above,when you recieve a beating like he did a piece of you stays in that ring and once the fighter is beat out of you,you can never get it back!! (Tyson/Lewis)-(Barrera/Naseem) to name a few!
I feel sorry for Lacy because he is what we need more of in the fight game at present and is exciting to watch but this latest set back could be more a mental thing than physical and i just can't see him winning titles again at world level.
I hope im wrong but he really is up against a world of sh*t.
