Mendoza has deteriorated very much, and seems to slide more with each fight. He showed his lack of boxing skill more than usual against Lacy, whom I believe he just beat. He should have put Lacy awy 3-4 times at least. Lacy should have been counted over in the second when he was knocked into the ropes, which held him up, also twice later on for the same reasons.
When Mendoza swept like a whirlwind through Tokunbo Olajide a few years ago he looked like a world beater, since Olajide was a top fighter, and he swept him away like a pile of dried leaves. Of course he'd been taken by surprise and his foot gave way, causing a KD, and, as it proved, a broken ankle, stoppig the fight, so we don't know exactly how the fight would have gone if it had progressed to the later rounds. Olajide then was unbeaten, and was winning every fight very impressively.
I see a report today that Lacy has retired. He won't say why, except to hint at "dark doings" in the boxing world. Has he just discovered this NOW...for goodness sake...!!
In truth, Lacy SHOULD retire, since he seems to have become a punching bag. He takes FAR to much punishment, and is a pretty slow speaker and thinker by now. Maybe he always was, I never noticed.......Comment
