    Lacy Deserves Respect

    I only saw the fight live on UK television and Lacy didn't grant them an interview however after watching Showtime's interview with him directly after the fight i found him complimentary of Calzaghe's preparation and superior boxing skills.

    The way he spoke made me believe that this guy knows that with better boxing skills he has the potential to be a major force in the sport so if i a brit can have faith in the guy, why can't all you so called fans instead of calling him a bum?

    At the end of the day it has to be questioned why it was thought that Lacy after 21 fights was ready to fight an experienced and undefeated fighter of Calzaghe's calibre so early in Lacy's career but he'll live to fight another day and will learn from these mistakes to become a better fighter.

    of course you have to give Lacy credit. He has a huge heart, and you get the feeling he was only so surly before the fight because he was nervous.

          You're damn straight he deserves credit.

          1.) He flew overseas to fight Joe in an arena packed full of Welshmen.

          2.) He absorbed a ridiculous amount of clean punches, and kept trying to get inside on Joe.

          3.) He was gracious after the fight, and gave credit where it was due.

          I read someone type "Worst losing effort...Ever". I'd like to say that's completely ******.

                Yeah maybe Shaw didn't help matters with all the hype.

                  he ****ed him up and he made Lacy nervous, even that guy in the gym in Manchester said when he was just skipping said 'you can tell the kid is nervous'....no one needs that kind of pressure.
