    Green would have stopped him sadly

      I never really saw much in Lacy to begin with. To me he was just a Mike Tyson clone. Big strong guy with muscles, knocking out a bunch of relative unknowns with few exceptions. Building up a fanbase that he didn't deserve with skills he never had.

        That's not true. Watch his fight with Sid Vanderpool. Compare it with tonight. He looked like a shell of his former self. He claims that he hurt his left arm in the 3rd round, so he wasn't able to use his best weapon. I don't think he's done. What do you expect after that long lay-off. He even said before the fight that this was the best time to face him. Give him another fight before the harsh critism. You guys give up too early. Remind me of Bulls fans.

          I'm not giving up on him, I never supported him to begin with, there's a difference.


          That said I respect any many who laces up the gloves and trades leather for a living. I'm simply not a fan of his.

            Lacy is not shot. He is damaged a bit, but to say he is shot is far fetched. He is limited. He does not utilize the totality of his skills either.

              unranked tsypko could have KO'd him if he kept throwing the straight left instead of those right hooks. lacy didnt look tired late, he looked like a beat up, shot fighter

                  Absolutely right..........

                  I just got home from the fights.........I was very disappointed in Lacy but would not say he is shot by any means.He uses his jab very nicely early and then forgets he has one and becomes a plodding, looking for one shot and now tired fighter.He was rusty no doubt and started fast and lost his steam.I don't know what to say.....He is my favorite fighter but did not look good and was lucky to get the W I had it a draw.

                      Actually some guy hit a guy down on the floor and as he was being escorted out he got into it with another guy like 2 rows in front of me and got jacked up by a pretty small white guy..........It was pretty funny because it was a pretty large black dude and he threw a punch and this skinny white guy clocked his ass and he fell into the cops hands........It was a pretty large disturbance.
