    Jeff Lacy the new Gold Standard for Class

    I didnt pick him to win although I thought he would do better than he did. He got a serious beating, calzaghe taunted him several times, and he still had nothing but good things to say at the end.
    I looked for a while online for a transcript of his postfight comments, but couldnt find them. Anyone else have any luck, know where to find them?
    Anyway, Ive seen a lot of boxing matches, lots of postfight speeches, but ive never seen a guy more gracious, curteous and composed than Lacy was with Jim Gray (of all people). He may have gotten whipped, but he set a new standard for class in a loss.

    I agree completely, to actually flat out say, "I need to work on my boxing skills" take a lot of guts IMO. Very humble guy.
