Why fights in the UK are not good for boxing!

If that was Joe or any Brit fighter they would have been pulled out, seriously that was pure arrogance by Lacy's corner, Lacys a warrior he would have fought on forever its their responsibility.

hopefully lacys life goes on, he aint out of hospital yet Of course. Lacy's own corner should of been more compassionate though as he was on a hiding to no-where from round 8 onwards, hopefully he ain't in too bad a way though...

Woah it was Lacy using his head to chin Clazaghe early on and also landing a low blow so Calzaghe had every reason to fight fire with fire

yeah theres no basis for this thread. calzaghe beat jeff lacy...no ref would have saved lacy. i'll repeat that...no ref would have saved jeff lacy, unless he dq'ed calzaghe for pushing lacy down or something.

jeff lacy was by no means americas best prospect. the man in my sig is. (of course columbia born, but he will represent the US) Yeah he represents the US big time with those Colombian flag shorts of his!

I dont think you actually saw the fight or you would have seen Lacy holding on for dear life in the closing rounds. Live with the fact that America's "best" prospect was throughly beaten.

The only time Lacy hit Joe was on the back of his head, seriously fuck off with this.

As I said Calzaghe won impressively, but Calzaghe was Holding and hitting throughout the fight and that is not legal in any way. So Lacy wasn't excessively clinching or hitting low either??? 6 of one, half a dozen of the other... Joe shut out a supposedly better Lacy, now give the kudos to JC and leave it. This pointless bashing to make Lacy look less pathetic is pathetic in itself :rolleyes:

First off I would like to congratulate all the Limeys for a great Calzaghe performance. I predicted that Calzaghe was going to surprise many Americans, but I was disgusted with some of the events that occured. While watching the Hatton/KT, Lacy/Joe Calzaghe fights, I noticed that the officiating in UK is horrible. I will not blame the fighters for doing dirty tactics like Calzaghe(holding Lacy left hand and hitting him) or Hatton (holding and hitting behind the head while holding), I blame the officails. Now I understand why some American fighters do not decide to fight in the UK and visa versa. Did anyone else notice the bad officiating? If so what did you notice? holding and hitting behind the head?????,have you ever seen Lacy fight,only things he do are hitting behind the head

well done u slyly tried to downgrade calzaghe's victory and insult us brits at the same time but owned your own ass as the ref was puerto rican :rolleyes: As I said Calzaghe won impressively, but Calzaghe was Holding and hitting throughout the fight and that is not legal in any way.

but owned your own ass as the ref was puerto rican yep, whoopsy daisy!....

WTF!!! The ref wasn't British and only one of the judges were... Get a grip mun, Lacy lost and life goes on...

I blame the officails. wasnt the referee Puerto Rican. As was one of the Judges and the other two Brit and an American. So whats your point?

I agree but that's what you get when you ship in refs from the US circuit ;)

shut up man. jeff lacy cant box. all he did the hole night is try to land bombs. so thats basically why he got his ass handed to him. he cant box. all he has is ko power. he finnaly ran into someone with defense. simple as that.
