Round 1: Calzaghe 10-9
Jeff's nose is bleeding at this point. Joe seems OK, needs to keep hands up when he's getting hit... he isnt Naz.
Round 2: Calzaghe 10-9
Nice uppercuts from Joe... again the downfall is his hands... keep them up you Welsh bastid.
Round 3: Calzaghe 10-9
Hit and not getting hit, its as simple as that. But honestly guys, you heard it here first, if Joe goes down you know why. He is being really cocky and his hands are down when he throws his flurries... his evasion is nice. Not much from Jeff at this point, but early days still.
Round 4: Calzaghe 10-9
Punch volume is doing it for Joe. Absolutely brilliant performance by him. I still waiting for Joe, but when he gets in, he is still dangerous, im not underestimating him. Lacy is cut bad, and was wobbled at the end of the 3rd.
Round 5: Calzaghe 10-9
The uppercuts are the treat... Lacy is freezing, although some are saying Joe may gas out after 6, I disagree actually guys, this is the second coming of Hatton I feel. :o
Round 6: Calzaghe 10-9
When Lacy goes to throw, Calzaghe simply isnt there, then when Jeff turns to look he has like 5-6 shots coming in...
Round 7: Calzaghe 10-9
Joe was wobbled at the end of the 7th, and seems to be moaning to the ref 3-4 times a round now... Cumulation is killing him.
Round 8: Calzaghe 10-9
Jeff is taking a beating. The work rate has dropped by this point, but Joe still dominates.
Round 9: Calzaghe 10-9
Round 10: Calzaghe 10-9
Cuts across the whole of Jeff's face.
Round 11: Calzaghe 9-9
Jeff didnt do enough for the 10.
Round 12: Calzaghe 10-8
Knockdown here. Lacy completely gone.
Calzaghe wins every round, with 1 KD. Game set and match. Goodnight ladies.
I feel you Exige for being amped for a fighter from your area winning a fight like that. In my humble opinion, it takes two to make a FOY that's all I was trying to say. Be proud of your fighter, he put on one hell of a clinic on tonight! (I'll man up by the way and put this in, I had Lacy winning by TKO in the late rounds.) Congrats to Calzaghe and his fans.
Fight of the year? BOTH fighters have to actually have to make a FOY, and Lacy was totally dominated. Domination of the year? Totally.
I think it had the excitement of fight of the year, this side of the pond anyway... I just couldnt stop watching that shit... :eek:
This fight epitomizes why I like boxing...
Sportsmanship outside of the sport, true physical and mental tests inside the sport, great excitement value... free to watch...
Fight of the year material for shizzle.
My card:
Calzaghe- 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 9(Deduction) 10
Lacy- 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 8
Overall, a killing. Lacy had no plan B and coming forward like that just played into Joe's hands; just hitting him with superfast combos and I can't believe Lacy's corner never chucked in the towel.
Lacy did take his beating like a man. And he will be back. But give credit where credit is do, Calzaghe put on a boxing schooling tonight. Props to Joe ror not running either when he knew he had the match in the bag. He traded until the last bell.
I thought that Calzaghe would win this by a close UD, but the result of the fight is outrageous. Lacy's foot work is terrible, i have alot of respect for him though, he is the one that made this fight happen.
Right on the money there... Jeff made the fight happen, and I sympathise with joe more when he says he is injured or when he says he has been ducked in the past... this is where the believing comes in...
Recognise Joe Calzaghe everyone, he took the world out with uppercuts. And listen to him now, "he is a true warrior" -- talking about Jeff... the whole package... :rolleyes:
Agreed .
The only thing that I'm mad about is that Calzaghe hasn't performed like this in the past. If he had stepped up and looked like this in previous fights I'd have more respect for the guy, but it's good to see he didn't take Lacy lightly. I'm also mad I didn't put money on Calzaghe like I planned to on Pinnacle a month ago.

Let the Lacy bashing start. Honestly if you automatically call the guy a bum for losing to an undefeated fighter with 18 title defenses then you just dont make sense. Lacy took his beating like a man. Hes young and strong and will be back. Please dont call the guy a bum for losing though damn. Its how a fighter comes back from a loss.
Updated the original. Enjoy... Jeff Lacy was taken to school tonight, and I think its time for some people to recognise Joe Calzaghe..
P4P material? I think so.
P4p material? Yes. High up? No.
