JEFF LACY RIPS SCOTT PEMBERTON
06.11.05 - By Wray Edwards at ringside:
A few months ago Jeff Lacy told ESB, during an interview, that
“There’s too much talk in boxing. You just watch what I do in the
ring, and you’ll know what you need to know.” Thusly admonished, this writer kept it short and sweet thereafter. That, in fact, describes tonight’s fight between Jeff and Scott Pemberton. It was short and sweet. Lacy’s raw power was beyond mere words.
During the press conference after the fight ESB asked Jeff if he fed off of getting tagged. During lunch before the fights, the scribes and photogs were discussing Jeff’s fighting style. Some opined that Lacy really doesn’t get going until the other guy manages to give him a pretty good whack, and that sets him off. Jeff allowed as how he does feed off of the other guy’s tempo and effort as inspiration to rise to the occasion. Common sense would dictate that it is very unwise to hit Jeff, but if you must just try to limit your strikes to what ever you think you can take, plus ten per cent..
Even with his gloves and arms in guard position, Jeff’s power strokes just sent Pemberton’s arms flailing out of position. Lacy’s style and power are generating more and more comparisons to Iron Mike. At each successive venue, more and more people make comments about the similarities. Yes he is bunchy and powerful like Mike. Yes he is brutally strong in the phone booth. The list goes on, but there are
two rather important differences.
Lacy’s career is peaking at a less youthful point than Tyson
experienced. Jeff has come to his championship years having more
available maturity with which to manage the wealth, notoriety and the business of boxing. Though he is often derided, Gary Shaw is due great credit for his professional management of Lacy’s current career. This leaves Jeff free to do what he does best…the art and power of boxing. Those who have been on the business end of Jeff’s brush-strokes quickly find that he is not painting a pretty picture for them.
During the TV interview in the ring Lacy called out that:
“I want Antonio Tarver. If Joe Calzaghe does not step up…
I want Tarver!” No wonder Mr. Shaw was pliable when ESB asked him at the weigh-in if Tarver might be on the agenda after Pemberton. There was much more heated speculation by Mr. Shaw and Jeff at the news conference on that subject. Jeff said he would be glad to cross the pond to take on Joe as it looks like if they ever do fight JC wants to do it surrounded by his homies.
Gary said that Jeff Lacy is the most exciting fighter in the world. That’s hard to argue with owing to his record and most recent Performances. Of course Floyd, Ricardo, Castillo and others might have something to say about that.
Put me in the Lacy fanclub!!!I wish I could see his fights. I have only seen highlights. I can't afford to have both HBO and Showtime.
EVERYONE IS INVITED IN THIS CLUB =]...SPECIALLY THE FANS, (NO HATERS INVITED)...LACY'S STYLE IS AMAZING..HE IS KNOWN FOR HIS LEFT HOOK BUT THIS TIME HE PUT SCOTT DOWN WITH A RIGHT...I WILL PUT HIS FIGHTS IN THE LOUNGE SO U CAN DOWNLOAD THEM, FOR FREE OFCOURSE..I WILL THEM SOON, HIS BIG FIGHTS, AND THE EXCITING ONES!
