    What do you guys think is the likelyhood of Jones KO'ing him? He's got a pretty decent chin I think & took some really flush shots from Taylor.

    I think it is possible. Joe Calzaghe almost had him in the 12th after severely battering him. And Joe ain't known for his punching power.

    After what, like 7 fights in a row where he took brutal punishment, Lacy has to be at the point of losing even his cement chin, his skills being long gone. That said, Lacy is really up for this fight.

    I dont think it's likely. Lacy has a better chin than people are giving him credit for.

    Listen, I am huge RJJ fan, but I highly doubt he will KO lacy... questionable stoppage, POSSIBLY, but not a legit KO/TKO

    Please he couldn't KO ****ing Tito Trinidad, and it's been years before he gotten a legit KO, his power is almost completely gone.

    I'd say it's a 10% chance.

    With that said, Lacy's corner can stop the fight if they think their guy has no chance at all and is getting punished. But imo it will be a very close fight
    so I don't see this happening.

    Not very likely. Lacy has a really good chin.

    He was doing the chicken dance several times against Mendoza. The question should be who will get to the other's chin first?

    40%

    Keep in mind a guy like Mendoza troubled him

    Maybe the left bicep injury had something to do with it.
