Dhafir Smith upsets Jeff Lacy

[El Kabong]

He never recovered from the calzaghe fight. I met lacy once, he's a nice guy.

I agree, he never got over the beat down he took and then the injuries got to him.

JC ruin this guy, sad.

I don't think this fight was even televised, but Lacy has been ruined for a long time.

Since Calzaghe he's been completely shot, even his wins since then have been questionable at best (save the much smaller Manfredo Jr.) He's had that torn rotator cuff, that still effects his performance since his fight with Tsypko and that hasn't helped either. This isn't an all of a sudden thing though, this is over four years now that fans have been losing the faith in him.

Calzaghe clearly took something out of him, but that shoulder injury took much of the rest. And Lacy wasn't the bees knees to begin with, he was a bit of a hype job. Had good power, but was limited as a boxer. It is a rather shocking loss, but I don't really buy into his surgery totally fixing him and who really knows where his head is at these days.

You would have to think that this is the end of Lacy as a fighter.
