Does Roy have a chance against Lacy ?

[Peterp]

Im tempted to buy the PPV but i couldn't handle seeing Roy get dominated by someone like Lacy

Does Roy have a chance ?

[RoyJonesJrp4pno1]

Have you see Lacy's recent fights? Roy should be able to dominate Lacy in the middle of the ring.

it should be an interesting fight... but this could mirror the tito/roy fight... but lacy definitely has a puncher's chance to end it all

[street bully]

Roy should win easily.

RE: Does Roy have a chance against Lacey?

Roy should definitely dominate Lacey, but my concern is Roy's training and work rate. The last time Roy has really trained for a fight is when he fought against Tarver the second time when he hired Mikey Shilestein (spelling?)...it was unfortunate that he got caught early. Ever since that fight it seems like Roy just does enough to get ready for the "type" of opponents that he has been facing. In addition, I don't think his corner is good for him at this point. They seem to cater to Roy's ego and don't really push him to the point that he needs to get to at this age. At 40, a fighter has to ride that line of over-training before a fight or he has to stay in shape year round and then fine tune in training camp. Roy still has amazing reflexes at 40 but his work rate is a lot less. One would think that he would reinvent himself in training and fighting style to exploit those still great natural abilities. Calzaghe made Roy look old and I felt that he could have easily won that fight with better training.

Lacey is garbage but if Roy looks old by buying time on the ropes it could open a window of opportunity for Lacey that shouldn't even be there. So, with that said, I'm excited for the Roy and I hope we see glimse of a new Roy. I hope that Roy wins impressively which hopefully will possibly lead to a great retirement finale. I don't want to see that guy get hurt and I know that he wants to go out on top and with a good last fight memory.

I pick Roy, but with some concerns...

[_original_]

Roy is so washed up at this point, I wouldn't be susprised to see him get KO'd....and Lacey isn't washed up, he was just never that good to begin with...but he does pack a good punch and seeing as Roy likes to get on the ropes from time to time, he might start swinging for the fences

I was thinking this is gonna be a good fight if Roy's legs get old on him. If so, Jeff might be able to starch poor Roy. Roy better keep his distance.

May thought exactly, Lacy hasn't been the same since Calzaghe.
