Many of you who have been here a long time know that I have to be Lacys best fan, at least on here. I've humbly supported him pre and post Calzaghe.....
Point being, I'm soooo excited he's fighting tonight....but it's strange being it's on ESPN2 and on a Wednesday night at that.....Just not my normal night to be really hyped about a fight being on....:boxing:
I just hope Lacy comes out aggressive...
I hope this doesnt turn out to be two friends sparring each other and not going for the kill.... If that happens, JT will win a outright boring decision.
....I like Lacy but he has no business fighting Taylor. Calslappy ruined and exposed Lacy and he's been a train wreck ever since.
damn wheres the hometown love....lol
Tsypko will be fighting an elimination bout with one of the top 10 IBF fighters next, so he will get hit shot at a title if he gets by this bout. He gets that and he will get Lacy back in the ring.
I remember watching that Tsypko fight, thinking how much damage Calzaghe must have done. It makes me laugh the fact they gave Lacy the win. I was disgusted by that.
Raesaad what you think about the Tsypko fight?
I think that Lacy got beat up and got a hometown decision. He should grant Tsypko a rematch, if not now then down the road sometime.
I was at that fight and couldn't help but get the feeling Lacy might have lost. I'm yet to this day actually watch it again on a tv. He was dominating him in the first 2 rounds I remember that much and then the injury to the shoulder. Nobody knew it was hurt until after the fight of course but the fact that he finished the fight in itself is amazing.....Sure I suppose Tsypko deserves a rematch it was a very close fight with Lacy hurt so I don't see why Lacy couldn't beat him in a rematch tho.....depends how tonight goes down too.

Lacy seems like a cool guy but I think objectively a Taylor win would be better overall for American boxing.
We can't have the guy who got destroyed by Joe Calzaghe beating up on the guy with two wins and a draw against BHOP and Winky Wright. It just doesn't look right.
many would argue it should have been a loss to both and the 2nd B-Hop fight should have never happened too.....Winky clearly won, the B-hop I fight was razor thin I personally think it was a draw.
ya its good to hear you stuck by lacy . . . i`m not a big on him. after thats terrible loss against jc he just didnt seem to recover, then shoulder problems, that terrible manfredo fight, but his fight wed. night fights on espn was a good watct, but he still didnt look that great throughout the whole fight. i hope taylor gets the decisive win, its overall better for boxing to have one of its stars back on top and winning again.
I'm pulling for a Lacy victory
I've always liked him more than Taylor, I dont really have a reason tho
Taylor is cool too, hes fast, athletic and has a good chin.
hes a better overall a fighter

Well tonights a big night.....I'm not very optimistic but I'm here in full support.:boxing:
Us Taylor fans are in pretty much the same boat. I've got definite reservations about this fight... mainly Taylor's ring intelligence, heart, and chin... but can't wait for the opening bell.
Gonna need a few beers before the fight to ease the nerves... because I can already feel 'em.
Yeah Roy gave a valliant effort but Cal was too much for him. I love Dawson as well.....Check out Keith Thurman, he's from Clearwater a right up the street here.....He's going to be the Tampa areas next big start fighter IMO. I have a thread about him in NSB but nobody really gives a shit lol
I'll check Thurman out, thanks.:headbang:
Its good that Lacy has some loyal fans and have stuck by him regardless
of the hard time that dudes had of late..
Most Lacy fans left that cat once Joe beat him faster then you would a thai Hooker with VD...
Good 2 see you have stuck by your boy...
Its going good, other than Roy losing last week. I changed my name to RJJ The Truth in dedication to my favorite boxer of all time. I think his career is pretty much over after last Saturday. He might fight one more time, but thats probably it.
The two young fighters I currently like are Dawson and Andre Ward. I know andre is a long shot, but still have faith in him.
Theres some other prospects coming up I need to check out.
I can't wait for Taylor vs. Lacy tonight. Should be a good match up.:boxing:
