i don't know why people see calzaghe as the man in the division.....you have to look at current form and age.....and this makes me think that THE ONLY MAN in the division is KESSLER.....and after Kessler could be LACY.....this is the truth and just because KESSLER is not a BRIT or a YANK, doesn't mean that he is to be ignored.

Well Joe Calzaghe has the best resume in the division by a country mile (Eubank, Brewer, Sheika, Reid, Woodhall, Mitchell). But those days are a thing of the past, he's on the slide now.

If that's an impressive list then it's worthless piece of ****.

This is one of the saddest things I've ever read on here.

First off, you call Lacy's hit after the break cowardly? How about the numerous holds, intentional headbutts, elbows, and low blows that initiated that hit.

Second, This was only Lacy's 20th pro fight.

Third, you're pointing out things we already know. Lacy has always been hittable. The thing is that he's not hurtable. He walks through people's best offerings. He's a guy who's happy to take 3 of your best shots to hit you with one of his.

Reid fought a shameful fight last night, and you know it. Reid has never been stopped before by anyone, and Lacy not only stopped him, but DESTROYED him in the process.

Nice try, but you failed miserably.

JuyJuy......no offense, but you are very moronic.

wtf? wasnt it before some were saying that Calz. would beat up Lacy and now that he destroyed (ruiz) all of sudden Calz. is washed up.

I couldn't believe an old, washed up Reid lasted so long in Lacy's backyard. I think this confirms that Lacy is over-rated. This was just Reid's third fight since 2003, he's been very inactive, he's old, very washed up, and he hasn't shown his best form since 1996 and the first half of 1997. Reid did very well with Lacy, much better than I expected, although the biased Showtime commentators would of gave off a perception that Lacy was winning before the fight had even started no doubt.

A washed-up, rusty Reid suprisingly won the first two rounds with cleaner punches and better defence than this Lacy guy, Reid was a shadow of his former self last night but watch the fight with the sound off and you'll notice that Reid was landing his jab well and annoying Lacy by avoiding most of Lacy's wide and wild shots. And this was a version of Reid who looked lethargic and uninspired with no snap in his work, yet he was still doing better than Lacy! Reid was the sharper puncher, and he didn't look anywhere near as sharp as he did nine years ago. The referee was extremely biased towards Lacy, as was everybody else in that arena ofcourse, screaming their approval when Lacy threw his wild shots, and probably the Showtime commentators would of been doing the same. Lacy was fighting very dirty due to being frustrated at losing to Reid, in the third round Lacy was landing low blows and landing his forearm to Reid's neck but the referee did nothing. The third round should of been scored even purely because Lacy looked so sloppy that you couldn't really give the round to him, aggressive yes but so sloppy. Reid had to fight not just the referee and Lacy, but everybody in that arena too, and the old man was doing much better than expected.
By the time round four came around, Reid was still in control by countering Lacy with his jab and landing cleanly. The frustrated Lacy had to rely on hitting during clinches and he wasn't even warned once! It's very difficult to give round four to Lacy because he missed so many punches, but I guess in America they score fights on aggression and Lacy gets round four on the scorecards because of his aggression alone and because of his help from the referee.
In round five, the washed up Reid was robbed in Lacy's backyard because after a headbutt from Reid the referee shouted to stop but Lacy landing a cowardly right hand after Reid dropped his hands and looked at the referee, the referee didn't even take a point away from Lacy let alone disqualify him, the referee had clearly shouted for the action to stop but Lacy caught Reid with a cheating cheap shot. Reid was unlucky that Lacy caught him again which knocked him down just before the bell sounded for the end of the round, and the extremely washed up Reid's dreams of an upset against the prime American in America were over.
Reid had been doing well boxing on the inside offensively, but in round six he realised that he had to fight both Lacy and the referee on the inside and so he started fighting from the outside instead, Reid also knew that he had to knock out Lacy to stand any chance of getting a draw. So the old man was probably waiting for the wild, unimpressive Lacy to burn himself out before getting him out of there in the latter rounds. Lacy continued to land low blows, with the referee doing nothing about it, and caught Reid again following a low blow which sent Reid to his knees.
In round seven it became clear that Reid was being robbed similarly to when he was being robbed in Germany against Sven Ottke because after Lacy disgracefully landed an elbow the referee took a point away from Reid for holding?! Then Lacy quickly caught an unexpected Reid again, Reid went down but quickly rose again and then the fight was called off. WTF?



A prime Lacy beats an old, washed up, rusty and messed up Calzaghe because Calzaghe is not the same fighter he used to be in his prime, Calzaghe has no end of problems outside the ring and in his last few fights he has looked absolutely awful compared to how awesome he used to look. Calzaghe was dropped by very poor journeyman Salem and looked awful in scapring that win, against Veit in his last fight Calzaghe was caught with far too many right hands that stunned him. The Reid that fought Lacy beats the Calzaghe of today. The Lacy that fought Reid beats the Calzaghe of today. The Reid of 1996 and the first half of 1997 beats Lacy every single day of the week, and twice on a Sunday. The Calzaghe of back in the day beats any version of Reid and Lacy on the same night, Calzaghe in his prime (a long time ago) definately dominates this Lacy guy. If Lacy fails to beat an old, washed up, rusty and messed up Calzaghe then just imagine what Calzaghe would of done to him in his prime!

I would expect that from a Brit. Dude you have ZERO credibility. Very pathetic.

All I know is Lacy impressed the hell out of me. I've never seen Reid take a beating like that.

Same here! Lacy was on FIRE last night and put on one hell of an exciting show! Too bad all fights dont go just like that. Even when Reid resorted to the dirty tatics Jeff kept his cool and spanked that ass. Good showing and good for Jeff!
