I'm no advocate for Lacy but to completely ignore the circumstances are wrong. Lacy by no means was a push over.

This was an all-time high/low in NSB.
While I thought the fight might be competitive, I was never impressed with Lacy... but I'd log into NSB after shaky performances and read how he was "top ten P4P".
I wonder, can you guess who 90% of NSB said would win this fight, most by early KO?
Hilarious.

Originally posted by about.thousands View PostI have never understood why this fight gets so much attention. Lacy was a hype job going into the fight and proved to be a hype job with his subsequent losses. I have my su****ions about why. But people act like this is the first and only time a heavily favored hype job was exposed and beat.
Such a high % of boxing is mental as well as physical... when the guy was systematically taken apart over 12 rounds he was never going to be the same.

I didn't think he struggled against Pemberton, but he missed a **** load, and it was clear that Pemberton let himself be counted out, having turned up, past his best, for a pay day.
I logged onto NSB and read how Lacy was around 6th P4P.
