Lacy Bites Back at Calzaghe(I can sense a rematch coming soon¬)

[Fatsofatsoman]

If a rematch was to occur then Lacy needs to once again prove himself, you can't get straight back in after losing that convincingly.

There's other more worthy opponents - i.e. those who haven't been given their shot at Joe. Mundine an example.

The only way he deserves a rematch is if it truly was a very poor performance by him and not Joe being dominant - the only way for him to prove this is get back in with the other contenders and beat them.

Lacy sounds like the kid who loses at paper, scissors, rock "best out of three"

I don't even think that he really wants one... he knows that Joe won't give him one... there is no money, no challenge and no reward.

I don't care how much of an 'Off night' Jeff Lacy had... you just don't have that much of an off night, he can't beat Joe at this stage in his or Joe's career.

[Wacko3205]

Being a fan of both fighters...I can honestly say that I believe that there is no way on this earth that Jeff could ever beat Joe.

I'm quite worries about Lacy,I think JC has gotten into his psyche!! Maybe it will affect him for years to come? I'm not so sure about jumping straight back into the lion's den and yeah,of course he can do better,you can't get any worse but I just don't see him winning and you have to look at it from Calaghe's viewpoint,people already discredit the win,why beat the same guy again? He wants to cement his legcay and I'm sure he'll get a big fight after Bika?

OR it could motivate him. You never know. it could either take his confidence..maybe thats what he needed. Maybe KNOWING that he's not the best and that he's so from it will motivate him more then it ever has. chip on his shoulder

Only time will tell if Joe Calzaghe will give Lacy what all fighters deserve: a chance at redemption against the man who first beat them.

Nice el Gamo, Like Cintron and Margarito

[Memphis]

Lacy, much like anyone else who gets a beatdown is obliged to say he wants a rematch, Golota fancied his chances against Lewis in a return

Calzaghe should be gone before Lacy is ready for any return anyway.

[Pugilistic]

he definetly deserves a rematch. calzaghe shouldn't say no

seems that things are heating up between Joe Calzaghe and Jeff Lacy. Last week a war of words began between the American ex-champion Lacy and the Welsh current 168 lb. kingpin Calzaghe . After Lacy spoke of a return match "after a couple tune-ups" against the man who gave him his first loss.

Calzaghe responded in the British press claiming that he didn't want "be arrested for aggravated assault".

Now Jeff Lacy has responded here at Doghouse Boxing to Calzaghe's words and seems to take them more as cowardice than bravado. "Yes he
beat me easy and all that," said Lacy. "If it was me that beat him so easy I would put it on everything. I would take the easy fight once again. So Joe comes make this easy money! I want to see if you have the heart to take the fight again. When I knock you out this time. I will give you a third fight because anyone could have a bad night in the sport of boxing."

Only time will tell if Joe Calzaghe will give Lacy what all fighters deserve: a chance at redemption against the man who first beat them.

First signs of brain damage !!!!

Revenge and redemption is one hell of a motivator....The burning desire to right a perceived wrong or succedd were you failed...I mean Jeff is no different than any of us, how many times have you screwed something up or lost really bad when you competed in something or missed a promotion or advancement at work cause you had a bad stretch? After you dusted yourself off and collected your thoughts and searched your Soul, didn't you say to yourself " I know I am better than this and I could of done better" and immediatly searched for redemption....

Joe had a Magical nite when he fought Lacy....NO DOUBT, but even the most fierce Lacy hater had to admit that Jeff looked flat and not his self and fought not even a 1/4 of his ability

[jbirdy]

calzaghe should go for kessler after he beats marcus bayer. unify all the titles and retire undefeated. lacy will be a champ again. but he wont beat calzaghe. maybe if joe fights for a bit to long and starts to go on the slide with his speed and work rate. but joe's not stupid.

[LBSCFC]

whats joe to gain by fighting lacy. he outboxed, outpunched, outmanned and outgunned lacy last time beyond question. if it happens again same result. lacy is good enough but against joe if they fought 10 times hed lose everytime

[OumaFan]

I give Lacy credit for going to England and not giving up while he was taking that beating but this is insane. How would Showtime promote it? "Calzaghe-Lacy 2: This time Lacy might win a round."

Lacy doesn't deserve it (although Joe really can't make that point since he's fighting Bika and he rematched Veit), but more importantly it would be a horrible career decision, he needs to build himself back up, the Green fight was a perfect opportunity. I don't think that highly of Green but some people do, and even though I don't think Green's that great it would have been a good tough comeback fight, he probably would have knocked Green out and he would have been right back in the mix.

No disprespect...but I'm a big fan of both guys...& Jeff fought to the best of his abilities. I thought that Jeff did good for the first two rounds...better than most expected that were believers in Joe.

It's easy for him to make excuses while searching for a way back in to the game...my camp was weird, the food was different...whatever...but Calzaghe fought Lacy to the best of his abilities & took him apart...like he has so many others.

The problem is...it's hard for people who know so little about Calzaghe to come to terms with what he did to Lacy...& Joe did what he does best...he boxed his ass off...something that Lacy does not do best.

Joe did to Lacy what Winky did to Tito...there's no big difference there.

[El Gamo]

No offence to anyone but I'm quite surprised that quite a few of you want to see a rematch!
