LACY Vs REID IS ON (August 6)

dont get me wrong i like america im going to florida for a 2 week vacation and my best friend who i visit is american but you guys need to get over your selves just because your not american doesnt mean ur not good look at sturm whipping dlh also you guys get on your high horse when fighers from countrys other than american dont go abroad to fight yet all your guys sit on ur big MECCA of boxing and do the same thing by the way the british invented boxing so i think you should at least show some gratitude to us for giving you the sport of boxing of which you then turned into a nasty back stabbing business oh by the way we forgive you for destorying boxing as a sport ONLY JOKING hahaha

reid UD, will be a great lesson for him thoughYeah, he can apply those lessons learned versus Calzaghe after he earns a late stoppage versus Reid.

so just because a fighter hasnt faught in america that means hes crap :confused: I've had that shit since joining BS, its just proves that the "American ego" myth really does exist in certain people

And what if I fight in Staples center, LA :( Anyways I predict Lacy will beat Reid by ud. Calzaghe though would be a much tougher challenge. I think that Joe is way to experience for now but in a year or two my man Lacy will be ready. Especially with his level of competition and staying busy. I think Lacy would give Calzaghe a good fight now, Calzaghe likes to fight macho and forgets about his defence. IMO Calzaghe would win but anythings possible. Reid allowed Ottke to rob him, i dont think he has the same pride as someone like Calzaghe/Lacy. I know the Reid vs Ottke ref was terrible(the worst i've ever seen) but Calzaghe/Lacy would rather get disqualified than let a ref stop them from throwing legal punches. Lacy will get a UD against Reid.

One common thread in those guys you mentioned, all of them were European protected fighters. I could care less about Ottke or Calzaghe or any of those other 168 lbers. Unless you fight in Vegas or NY or NJ, you aren't anything. Ottke is a over protected asshole but your so wrong about the others, i think its become a habit for US fighters to duck UK super middle's. I'm glad Lacy's a fighter with some balls because the divison was getting boring.

Reid will get beat, IMO Reid is the better fighter but he hasnt got the mental determination to win. Lacy should break him down and win by UD. I get the feeling that Brian Hughes fighters have a lot of ability but not much heart. I cant remember the last time i watched one dig deep, go to war and win.

Unless you fight in Vegas or NY or NJ, you aren't anything. that a bit harsh, a lot of great boxers have not fought there, also calzaghe has beaten former world champions, and top 10 rated fighters so he still deserves a bit of respect, just as reid does

Can't see Lacy hurting Reid, Reid has one of the best chins in boxing. One of the best, yes. I don't see Lacy being able to stop him either. He might outwork him, but only if he doesn't spend himself early vainly trying to get the KO. Ried is a fair smart fella, and I expect him to come on fairly strong after 4 or so, when Lacy has expended a good amount of his energy swinging for the fences. If there's a KO in this fight, I feel like it'll be Lacy getting stopped, not Ried. If Lacy is smart, he'll take his time and just win rounds, saving energy for the home stretch where he'll need it the most. I don't think there's any other way for him to beat Ried.

you never seen reid so how do u no anythin about how good he is . he virtually beat calzaghe , ottke and ko'd undefeated magee One common thread in those guys you mentioned, all of them were European protected fighters. I could care less about Ottke or Calzaghe or any of those other 168 lbers. Unless you fight in Vegas or NY or NJ, you aren't anything.

^^^Unless one is adopted This is a great matchup Lacy the agressive banger in there with the well schooled Olympic big time amateur hero. If reid can counterpunch and Jab as good as reuben Williams but stay off the ropes he will win a UD.

^^^Unless one is adopted

is Robin Reid related to David Reid?

both good fighters it should be noted that reid was literally robbed against sven ottke in his 2nd last fight is it? and he beat magee in his last fight so hes not too bad at all... if he comes in with a good mental strength and in top shape it should be a good contest but i think at this stage lacy might just be a bit too strong for him... also if this fight takes place i guess lacy calzaghe could only be december or early next year at the earliest?

This is one of those threads in which you obviously have the English guys who are saying Reid, even though he has never fought in America and is 34. And then you have the 2000 US Olympian who has excellent KO power and is much younger and puts relentless pressure on his opposition. My pick is Jeff Lacy by late KO or unanimous decision.

lacy savage knockout in 2, this will be his best performance Can't see Lacy hurting Reid, Reid has one of the best chins in boxing.

reid UD, will be a great lesson for him though

this will be a good fight, robin reid is a good fighter, this will give good indication of how good lacy is, and if he puts on a good show calzaghe might not fancy his chances against him
