    Probably a (shot) Robin Reid, dropped initially by a cheap shot after the break, which shouldn't have been called.

    I read an interview with Robin Reid before the fight, and even though he couldn't put it into practise, the strategy he outlined as the perfect way to beat Lacy was EXACTLY how Lacy was eventually beaten.

      The guy has something like a 70-75% KO ratio. I'm assuming you've only seen the Lacy fight?

          Yes, but Calzaghe had been whooping him through that whole fight landing shots here and there. Lacy's chin sucks, he's a power fighter. It took Calzaghe the whole fight to knock him down and he didn't even win by a KO. That's seriously sad, he needs to fight some real competition

            He was real Hard hitter before he started struggling like hell to make weight. Literally a very, very hard, sharp hitter early in his career. And did you see some of the shots he whacked Eubank with? Scarey power.

            He fought Reid, Thornberry and Starie with a broken hand, but finally found some form again against Sheika, Woodhall and Veit. If it wasn't for his fragile hands, and if it wasn't for his weight struggles, you'd of seen him punch guys off their feet from one side of the ring to the other again in the last few years (as he used to in the mid 90's).

              Having seen a few Joe Blow fights, it left me more impressed with Lacy's chin than anything. (and remember Lacy's legs dipped as early as the first).

              We'll see when the Blow fights again if his power has waned or not...

                Now WTF is this ****?

                For all the talk about Calzaghe moving up and he could do this, could do that, he's fighting a COMPLETE UNKNOWN.

                Jesus!

                  Anorak, the guy your conversing with isn`t a proper boxing fan. His boxing knowledge is very limited....
