Joe Calzaghe: "I'll fight him in-close, punch for punch if that's what it takes."

[DiegoFuego]

Mah****er ain't going punch for punch with Lacy. That's suicide. Calzaghe's gonna stick and move and land some big ones, but Lacy is eventually gonna catch him. I've never even seen Lacy rattled from a punch.

"im gonna throw a punch and even if i miss, i'll act like i broke my hand and get the fight stopped. that'll show him!" -joe cal***gy

If Joe does what he is saying, then we will be in to a very short fight.

Close, punch per punch? We will be lucky if the fight last more than 5 rounds.

al weil wasnt rocky's trainer, he was his manager.

Charlie Goldman was Rocky's trainer, did an absolutely brilliant job to mould him from very raw material.

Same here, Lacy just gladly walks through like 5 punches to land one of his. If he can take Calzaghe's power like that, skill won't even matter. Eventually he'll land.

Lacy is sloppy, there's no denying that. But he's also learning. Reminds me of Jermain Taylor because they have a long ways to go, but physically/athletically they're ready for anyone.

That's the wrong strategy for Calzaghe at this point in his career but I don't think he will really used that strategy come fight night.
