Clip: Lacy rocked by Sheika

[jangeorg]

Lacy are so overrated,he has only fought handpicked opponent

The only thing in today's boxing that is more overrated than Lacy is Lacy's KO power

Lacy is considered a big puncher, but he was not able to floor Syd Vanderpool or bum Rubin Williams
Vanderpool was clean outed by an unknown Alejandro Berrio from Colombia. Lacy was not even able to floor Syd.
Boxing Bum Rubin Williams is rated no. 169 but still gave Lacy a competitive fight. Lacy was not able to floor this bum
Scott Pemberton was skin-dead 5 years before Lacy faced him - small Peter Manfredo Jr did hand The Sandman much easier than hyped Lacy

Just made a quick clip of Sheika rocking Lacy early in their fight. Would Joe be better at following up? Sheika allowed Lacy to hold and cover up and recover pretty easily. Took a lot of steam out of Lacy, which is why Sheika won the first half of their fight. Then Lacy came on strong down the stretch when Sheika didn't have anything left.

March 4th is going to be an awesome night...

he doesnt look rocked to me, he took that punch pretty well and blocked the rest of them, if u think hes rocked there u havent seen ****...

That guy on the right is talking and missed the punch. Nyahahaha

[TyrantT316]

of course anyone getting hit with a wild haymaker of a punch on the side of the head/eye is going to get shaked up a bit...

it is how they recover that makes them true champions...

if anything, this just helps Lacy's case...he can take a great shot, recover, and continue about his business...

Lacy will finish Joe...

end of story

Are you ****** or do you have **** in you eye,Lacy was shaken

Calzaghe can hurt Lacy. I think most people know that. But to say Joe is washed up is at least premature and possibly a bull**** excuse so as to discredit Lacy should he beat Joe.

Joe is not washed up, and has not looked washed up. He may not be in his prime, but if Joe is as good as all the Brits say he is, then being a tiny bit past his prime shouldn't be enough to keep him from beating Lacy.

Anyway...Lacy TKO9 Calzaghe.

I agree somewhat. It does show Lacy has a solid chin. But that shot (and the point of this thread) points out that the one shot changed the fight and how Lacy fought it. He turned into a very ordinary fighter for the next several rounds following that punch, losing them, and wasn't his explosive self at any point after that. Sheika got tired and outworked down the stretch, but was never hurt or rocked in the fight. Lacy showed excellent stamina in the fight, also, so that's a good sign for Lacy fans as well. Because he hasn't gone 10-12 rounds since then.

But yes, you can also interpret that as Lacy "passing a test." And feel comforted somewhat in knowing that Calzaghe isn't going to stop Lacy with any one punch.

I'm picking Lacy, mainly because of his youth and condition. I this fight is probably going to be decided by who can outwork the other in the championship rounds.
