He has a surprisingly thin nose bridge for a boxer. That tells me that he hasn't been hit there very often. When you see a boxer whose had as many fights as Joe has, with a nose like that, you have to have some respect for his defense.

170 fights, amateur and pro, and he dominated ALL of them other than Reid (fighting one-handed), Salem (where his head was elsewhere due to personal problems) and Veit earlier this year (due to personal problems and inactivity), and he looked a shadow of his former self in his last fight even before the hand break which suggests he is definately on the slide.

hes never had a big win, his biggest win was over your boyfriend eubank
he ended his career, so now your nuthugging him as well as nuthugging eubank

Well, I was a big fan of Joe in the early 1990's when he was winning ABA titles with unbelievable ease.

When we saw Eubank at the weigh-in, we knew he stood no chance, he admitted himself before the fight that his only chance was to get Joe out of there early because he was so dehydrated.

Why is there such intense hatred for this guy?

Anyway, I'm excited about the fight and from what I know it will be a good matchup and the toughest fight of Lacy's career. Lacy does not impress me with his handspeed or knockout punch at all. He's a strong, tough guy who will continue to have success in the sport but I can see him getting outboxed and decisioned. I can't envision him coming from behind with a one punch knockout. He's a grinder. He beats the fight out of you, and then knocks you out.

But how will he react when he is behind on points, cut, on the verge of being knocked out, etc?

I hope we'll find out.
