Yeah, but while Taylor may not have hit him as many times or bloodied him as much, he hit Lacy's head so goddamn hard he's got the guy thinking he won the fight.
Lacey must think he won because of that damn knockdown, before the decision he kept talking about it. Friend or not Taylor should have just TKO'd him in the third instead of tying him up, being the nice guy he is.
I did see him raise his hands in victory when the winner was announced and he did look dissapointed.
I had a feeling something was gonna be said.. no way he won that fight though.
slightly off topic but what do you think is next for lacy now? He obviously thinks he is still up there with the best at SMW from this interview. Personally, I would like to see a matchup with Mundine. Would be quite the clash in styles but neither are huggers so could be quite an entertaining fight.
Well heres my thoughts and I'm a huge Lacy fan. He lost plain and simple. Yes it was defintely a knockdown but counted or not it wouldn't have changed the outcome. Taylor did hold but I wouldn't call it exsessively......Being aggressive and eating clean shots all night unfortunately doesn't win you a fight Mr. Lacy. Lacy vs Miranda anyone? similar skill level non stop action fight....I'd love to see it. Both have proven they are good fighters, contenders but not Championship material.....Lets see it.

Damn good post. I agree that Lacy vs. Miranda would be the best possible match for both fighters. Lacy clearly lost but it looked to me to be his most spirited effort since Calzaghe. He lost, but deserves credit for the effort.

Lacy's not a hugger?
He's survived his last two fights by hanging onto his opponents.

Yeah Lacy defintely has one of the biggest Hearts in all of boxing.....unfortunately that doesn't always win fights. Nobody can ever knock his effort though.
