Edison Miranda vs Jeff Lacy

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Ive hardly seen either, but i would lean towards lacy as miranda seems very limited.

Tech,

He seemed MUCH more one-dimensional against Pavlik than he did vs Green. He actually looked like he has some skills in the Green fight

I think Miranda took Pavlik lightly, and was looking past him to Jermain. Also, I believe that 160 isn't his best weight.

All those excuses aside, Lacy is done. Which is too bad. Jeff is a nice kid.

WTF????? miranda doesn't have a solid chin??? lol he took a billion bombs from pavlik he would have gotten up 10 times .he took every punch abraham threw at him. abraham and pavlik are punchers while slapzaghe is a slapper !

Lacy is much stronger than Pavlik, i think Lacy would slip his right hand and counter with a left hook kabbam couple of time of that it would be KO. Miranda is abit slow too

Guys where do you see that Lacy has a solid chin? Lacy was known to not have a solid chin in the amateurs and has been buzzed in the pros by the likes of Omar Sheika and almost knocked out by the welsh man, which coincidentally do not have the punching power Miranda has. Though at the same time we have not seen Miranda at this weight class so it would be difficult to judge how powerful Miranda really is in this division. It would be an interesting match.

well you could train to have stronger chin there is jaw and neck exercise for that and you could see his neck

[Primal Instinx]

yeah but you can't remove the damn nerve or build that much muscle over it to protect it from shutting out the blood flowing through it. That makes you see black hence the reason they call it a black out when you get popped in the button. No matter how big Lacy's neck is, that is not going to stop from a punch tapping his jaw.

Lacy would KO Miranda.

[Gareth Ivanovic]

This would be an interesting fight and one that would no doubt provide some good action. Im pretty sure this fight wouldn't go the distance with both men being more offense oriented. Im just worried about Lacy's shoulder injury thats going to be hard to overcome for him not just physically, but mentally. With that looming over Lacy's head and if they were to fight in the near future I would pick Miranda by KO.

Your points are dumb, Omar hits hard as hell. And Calzaghe landed like 1,000 punches on lacy. You can say calzaghe throws slaps, but if you get hit by that many slaps, you will get ko'd. Plus, Calzaghe might not be a one punch guy but he does hit harder then douche bags give him credit for. Calzaghe hits hard enough to have almost every single person he has ever fought against the ropes.

Miranda would eat Lacy's remains for breakfast.

Omar Hits hard as Hell? When the hell did Omar hit hard as hell...don't know what guy your watching but Omar is just another name for youngsters who are up and coming to see how far they can go. Omar is good competition but not a serious contender these days, just a spring board.

miranda obviously (and im not going to pretend he does) doesnt have very good technical boxing skills (he always looks amatuerish when it comes to his combos and techniques) BUT he's a strong (very strong) puncher...has decent speed with his hands (not spectacular but noteworthy) and he has heart like you would not believe...ie...not the fight with pavlik...no matter how many times he was dropped he wanted more...if the ref allowed him to continue he would have kept fighting even if he got dropped 10 times...no joke.

miranda would swarm him and even take shots just to give great shots...thats how miranda fights...toe to toe like he's on the street fighting or something...very rugged.

i think he would be about a 4:1 favorite against lacy...possibly 3:1.

he's pretty good to brawl...but boxing is his flaw...he needs to mater his combo's and techniques better if he wants to go further in the sport and if he did do that...watch out...i believe he'd become something special.

if lacy isn't psycholigically damaged by the loss to calzaghe, and if he completely recovers from his injury, i think he should beat miranda.

otherwise, miranda can take lacy out by stoppage.
