Dec. 4
Vegas (Showtime) - 12 rounds, WBC lightweight title: Joel Casamayor (31-2, 19 KOs) vs. Jose Luis Castillo (50-6-1, 45 KOs); 12 rounds, IBF super middleweight title: Jeff Lacy (17-0, 14 KOs) vs. Omar Sheika (26-6, 17 KOs).
These should be some watchable championship fights Saturday after next on Showtime. I'm familiar with Casamayor, Castillo and Sheika, but I don't recall ever seeing Lacy.
Any comments from you boxing fans?
best prospect yes, a win over Syd Vanderpool proves nothing.
I admit I haven't seen much of him yet so i'd be interested to see what happens here, Calzaghe beat Sheika easily in 5 rounds.
And the Vanderpool win wasnt easy. Syd had his moments also
Lacy is very VERY strong and hits like a mother. I think he is easily the best at 168

Lacy is a monster but he is flawed and has very suspect defense. If Sheika isnt washed up and can still take a punch I wouldnt be surprised to see an upset. On the other hand I wouldnt be surprised to see Lacy knock his ass out the ring
