It was my first fight I got to watch live. The atmosphere and everything was really cool and Im glad I went, took a bunch of pictures and all but Lacey's performance was a huge disappointment.
Roy Jones was there tonight watching it ring side and Lacey called him out after the fight so Im sure it will be made.
Being 100% honest, Lacey was lucky to get the decision over Otis. I didnt keep track of rounds, but there were no knockdowns and I would maybe have given it to Otis or a draw. Lacey really struggled with him, he was getting hit way too much, never hurt but he also couldnt get his punches off just like every fight of his we've seen lately. Omar held a lot and Lacey didnt seem interested in pushing him off to create distance and try to setup anything or try to outbox this guy.
This isnt the same Lacey pre-calzaghe. Lacey used to be able to connect his power shots and KO guys easy. Its not just the left shoulder cause his right hand isnt worth **** anymore either. To use Roach's phrase, he cant pull the trigger anymore.
If Otis can land so easy on him, Jones could land on him at will. Also Jones is mostly bothered by pressure, but being that Lacey cant punch anymore, he has nothing to bother Roy with. Roy would stop him if they fight now, it would be sad and I wouldnt want to see it. Lacey should retire.
And now that I think about it, I think Taylor carried him in their fight since they were Olympic buddies and all that, Taylor just gave him the fight as a favor to get him money and his name back in the mix.
