Just trying to get you all's picks on who will emerge victorious in this fight. I personally think that whomever wins this fight will go on to unify the Super Middleweight Crown. That guy Joe Calzaghe is a joke to me, and I am putting my money on Jeff Lacy to beat Reid, and go on to face Calzaghe, Kessler and Beyer to unify the titles. That kid Lacy is a young lion roarin' to go!!
hmm
My uncle is reffing this fight. It's gonna be sweet. I'll be taping it from my friend's house. Lacy will win, but it's HOW he wins that will determine if he'll beat Calzaghe or not.
Lacys has never had a real fight, if they fought tomorrow the one he'd beat is beyer. Lacy has talent, when he gets more experience and stops loading up the shots he'll have a chance against them all.
True, Lacy does "load up" for the bomb quite frequently, and God forbid if he lands one. But I think Reid may have had his day some time ago. I think that the stakes are just too high, and the lights are just too bright for Reid, and he won't be able to pull it off. If I had to make a prediction, Lacy by TKO in the 4th.
International Boxing Organization...That's the title that Reid has. Don't ask me about the organization, because I had never heard of it until they announced this fight.
The IBO is pretty much worthless now, its only real claim to fame was when Lennox Lewis held the heavyweight version.
If i'm honest its probably a better belt than the rest of them, the mandatorys are normally fair and i've never seen any real problems with them. Shame no one gives a fuck about it.
So how do you guys think Lacy will fare if he seeks to unify the title against Calzaghe, Kessler and Beyer, whom none of them has had a "real" fight in ages! I think by the end of next year, Lacy should have at least the IBF, IBO, WBC, and WBA belts. What do you think??

how come I never seen a reid fght?
He's never been a draw in America, he from Britain and has fought Calzaghe and Ottke as well as a number of other name fighters over in Europe.
Can't see Lacy, even with his power, knocking Reid out. Reid's best asset know is his chin. I would say Lacy will win but don'r rule Reid out.....I have noticed that Lacy is not the brightest fighter....He seems on most occasions to be one dimensional and lacking a game plan. I don't know weather thats him or his trainer/corner thats at fault but he may find that Reid takes him deep and he runs out of ideas...Reid is no slouch.

IBO? WTF is up with that.
I think he beats the washed up old Calzaghe after he beats the washed up old Reid, and the alphabet title holders at 168 are awful and have been since Calzaghe became world champion.
Super-Middle has sucked badly since Benn, Eubank and Jones departed.
Follow up queston...

Lacy no problem, Reid is so washed up now, a shadow of the guy who edged Henry Wharton!!
The Reid of eight or nine years ago beats Lacy easily, but time has moved on.
