LACY Vs REID IS ON (August 6)

[hitterwitter]

Jeff Lacy will defend his IBF title against Robin Reid on August 6th.

Lacy's toughest test so far, I think Lacy is taking a big risk fighting Reid if he loses the Calzaghe fight definetley won't happen.

I think Reid UD.

this will be a good fight, robin reid is a good fighter, this will give good indication of how good lacy is, and if he puts on a good show calzaghe might not fancy his chances against him

[AintGottaClue]

reid UD, will be a great lesson for him though

[dansweeney]

lacy savage knockout in 2, this will be his best performance

Can't see Lacy hurting Reid, Reid has one of the best chins in boxing.

This is one of those threads in which you obviously have the English guys who are saying Reid, even though he has never fought in America and is 34. And then you have the 2000 US Olympian who has excellent KO power and is much younger and puts relentless pressure on his opposition. My pick is Jeff Lacy by late KO or unanimous decision.

both good fighters

it should be noted that reid was literally robbed against sven ottke in his 2nd last fight is it? and he beat magee in his last fight so hes not too bad at all...

if he comes in with a good mental strength and in top shape it should be a good contest but i think at this stage lacy might just be a bit too strong for him...

also if this fight takes place i guess lacy calzaghe could only be december or early next year at the earliest?

[The Troll]

is Robin Reid related to David Reid?

This is a great matchup Lacy the agressive ****er in there with the well schooled Olympic big time amateur hero. If reid can counterpunch and Jab as good as reuben Williams but stay off the ropes he will win a UD.
