I don't think Lacy and Pavlik have a similar style.

Me either.

[Kobe Bryant]

I don't think so. His stamina is poor which in effect turns him into a sloppy fighter. I've seen Taylor fade in fights but not to the level that Lacy has.

Neither of them really have heart anymore.

This is a crossroad for both of them in their career.

Taylor's still with his amateur coach?

How does Taylor not have heart anymore?

This is Lacy's last chance - he'll be up for it in a major way. I suspect he's going to give his all here and him catching Taylor with one punch is not out of the question.

Taylor, on the other hand, has a lot of questions surrounding him. He ballooned in weight some time back and no one really knows how much the Pavlik fights took out of him. Not to mention his amazing capacity to UNDERwhelm when he's expected to win easy. This fight is very intriguing.

He can but I doubt he will.

I agree with this statement. In my mind Taylor is the much more talented fighter. If Taylor uses his jab and learns how to move to his right and or left instead of going straight back to the ropes he should win this fight easily. Lacy's best punch is his left hook. So if Taylor keeps his right hand higher and moves away from Lacy's left hook he sohuld be able to keep jeff from landing that big shot. Taylor can punch too although Lacy has never been knocked out I think taylor knows what is at stake here and will be up for the fight. Can lacy beat him? Anyhting is possible in boxing anything but, probably not.

If Taylor fights to his ability, he'll win relatively comfortably. in my mind its there for jermain to lose, unless of course he gets caught cold by a Left Hook.

Wasn't Lacy hurt by a jab from Mendoza in his last fight?

Anyways, Taylor's jab will offset everything Lacy does, Lacy comes straight forward with suspect defense, Taylor's jab should pick him apart and once he gets that jab going, his combinations should start to flow, Lacy's chin hasn't been that good lately so I'm going with Taylor by knockout.

You're right though, Taylor should move to his left after he jabs to get away from Lacy's hook, moving to the left could also blind Lacy to some of his shots, he should also avoid going to the ropes like he did in the second Pavlik fight so that Lacy doesn't get a square target, that's about all he needs to look out for in this fight.
