Id like to say that i also didnt see Lacy as that impressive. I say that in judging his skill; where was his skill. He seems to have a Mike Tysonish style with out the skill. The old mike would jab, bob and weave his way in. Lacy threw alot of bombs, but most didnt connect solidly. Ive seen about three Lacy fights, and have had the same opinion on each. I fully understand that it was Reid holding on for dear life, but give me a break; Lacy should of stepped back and boxed for a while until Reid made a big mistake and then make him pay. The fight was sloppy and awkward and 100% unskilled by both fighters. In that division, Lacy will get by with his limited skill, its when he moves up that his overwhelming power will have less effect and then what. Someone is going to learn to stick the jab in his face the whole fight and give Lacy a really hard time.
In summary, will be unified in THAT division, but when he moves up; Lacy doesnt have alot of skill, just some power in THAT division.
he showed sum skillz, but occcasionally you'll catch him doing sum weird ass shit like once or twice i saw him jumping at Reid with his jab. it looked funny. he also kinda loops his right hand a lil bit but im not sure cuz he prolly did that to hit reid cuz reid was putting his head down.
The thing that makes Lacy dangerous is that his holes aren't really exploitable to the extent that some are suggesting. People keep saying once he faces a skilled boxer he will be in trouble. I don't think he will. Nothing stops this kid from getting inside. Reid was on the outside jabbing at times, and actually was landing some nice jabs, but he couldn't keep Lacy off him. Most fighters need to slip inside the jab, but Lacy seems to walk right through them without even flinching. Not to mention his jabs were rocking Reid.
Like I said in a different post, he's a guy who's happy to take 3 of your best shots on the way in just to hit you with one of his. Those guys are always dangerous. And right now, there isn't a boxer at that weight who's slick enough to avoid Lacy for 12 rounds, because this kid just gets better as the fights go deeper.
Lacy might have some holes in his game but his tremendous power and concrete chin make up for most of his shortcomings. He is still young and I'm sure he will improve as time goes by.
That welshbrainwash is a queer so he will get the smack like what these Bitch slappers supposedly good chin suckers got. Be careful fag, your boyfriend is next in line.
JuJuy or Cockzaghe, it wouldn't make a difference. One is idiot and one is a bum. And you you are a dumb ass.

That bitch slapping cocksucker Calzaghe will kiss the canvas. JujUy has already made his excuses, others Brit idiots have to start saying their prayers.Must be 12 attempts now and he hasnt got Juyjuys name right once!! :D

To me Lacy is a lot like Jose Louis Castillo. He is a skilled sluggger. There are no Maywheathers or Coralles's in his weight class. It will be interesting to see how Calzaghe does.
I dont understand what fight you all were watching; he looked like Mike Tyson coming off a his 3 and a half year layoff!!!! Reid was a bum from the get-go, holding for dear life the entire time.. all im saying is not alot of punches connected solidly, and when he goes up against a real fighter, who actually isnt scared to fight, a fighter that takes him into the later rounds, well see how many of those exhasting bombs he has left... A boxer would have torn him apart last night.
He didn't have to worry though, that's just it. Had he been fighting a better opponent who tried to box him, he would have held his hands back and bit and tried to work harder... He didn't need to last night. Last night he was just letting his hands go because he knew Reid didn't stand a chance.

Like I said before Reid has been fighting bitch slapping suckers in England. It's no surprise he got the beat the living shit out of him when he fought a real boxer.
Jeff is so surrounded by hype, etc. that alot of peeps hate him for that reason only (which is unfair as hell) For those people alone, nothing he does will ever be good enough. I like him alot and was impressed with his win...I think he brings alot of class to the sport as well.
I agree, it's just hard to beleive that, after that impressive KO, that this is the worst, i've heard people talk about him, I my be a lil bias because i am from Tampa, but i thought Lacy put on a great show last night. He KO'd a man that 43 others where unable to even hurt.
The post fight interview was extremely entertaining. Reid making excuses, Lacy's trainer telling him to go watch the fight. Reid saying he was knocked down by getting punched in the back of the head, then showing the KD where Reid was dropped by an uppercut in the chin. That was classic shit right there.
Haha yeah it was so funny how Reid thought he was only knockdown by the overhand rights to the back of the head. He was but how he didn't say shit about the uppercuts ROCKING HIS HEAD it just hilarious. Lacy's trainer was like no you got hit with flush shots watch the tape.

Damn, Lacy is the 1st guy to ever floor and KO reid, ever one of his fights has been very impressive, and normally ends in a KO, he has a very solid chin, and a great heart, i guess you just can't please some of you people on this site, i figured that you guys must be really great fighters yourselves since u grade so tough
