Who's pulling for Lacy to take out Omar Sheika this weekend? Lacy's maybe my favourite young fighter at this point...he outclassed Syd Vanderpool after some early trouble and really seems like he could go far.
I say Lacy TKO 5 in this one.
I love Lacy and think he will have a pretty successful career at 168, 175, and cruiser. He has the power that we all know about but he still has plenty of time to learn the other ins and outs of the game. I think Lacy needs another year or two before he could beat Calzaghe or Green.
I havent seen a lot of Lacy's fights. I saw a little of his last one and I thought he looked really good. If anyone has Lacy fights for DL, let me know.
Lacy-Vanderpool was on the torrents site a while back and I'm still kicking myself for not getting it. Maybe it'll show up again if he wins hits one big and gets more well-known.
Sheika will try & box Lacy, like he did Butler.
But, Lacy is a better fighter than Butler. So, while I expect Sheika will last the distance in a disappointing fight, Lacy will win a comfortable decision.

I think Lacy will eventually takeover the super middleweight division and even the light heavyweight division. I think it's better for him that there are not too many movers in his division. Right now I'd take a tough guy like Danny Green and a good skilled fast guy like Calzahge over Lacy. Danny Green is an in your face type fighter but right now I think Lacy should stay away from him. Sheika is just a guy who can make Lacy look great while not risking too much in my opinion. He is just an opponent to keep Lacy's name out there.
Omar Sheika is not going to handle Lacy's power. I think Lacy gets a little overrated for his win against Vanderpool. I mean the guy stood there and traded with him and everyone knows that's the best way to get knocked out by Lacy. Lacy has just temporarily erased his problem with movers from people's minds in my opinion. Maybe he will rule the 168 division someday but not now. As much as I don't really care for Calzaghe I think he beats Lacy.
I saw an interview with Vanderpool after the fact on a boxing show up here in Canada and he seemed like a bit of an idiot. He was trying to claim that he was fighting well while avoiding the fact that he lost the fight. And yes, he basically admitted that he stood in there with Lacy when he shouldn't have. I think Lacy needs a bit of work right now but I see him rising fast.
