    Going on now on SHO Extreme.
    Round 9 right now. Great fight, always a good watch. There is a very annoying woman ringside, that I can only assume is Lacy's wife, screaming her guts out distracting the hell out of him.

    Why was this fight at 3 a.m?

    Whoever did the rbr on this had an easy night. Each round is copy and paste.

    Joe squares up a lot and drops his hands, I think he's a great fighter but I wonder how he really would've done against a real run of elite fighters

    Props to Joe for letting it all hang out in the 12th to try to get his guy outta there. He could have coasted the last couple rounds for the easy win. True fighter.

    11 years ago already. Probably got aired in black and white back then.

    Fun fact. Since Calslappy his career went 6-6, 1KO, with his only stoppage win against some half assed journeyman.

    That's terrifying

    You aint gonna recover from a beatdown like that. Feel very sorry for Jeff. He was completely humiliated on a grand stage

    Calzaghe exploded on the US that night, stunned a ton of doubters and so called "experts" (can only imagine what ESB was like)

    In retrospect Kessler and Hopkins were better wins, but man what a virtuoso performance he put on against Lacy

    Yeah, that was a complete undressed. It's worst than getting knocked out.
    Whatever psych he had left is utterly stripped.
    Lacy career might have been different if he did not cross the pond that night.

    Yeah I felt for him against Calzaghe. It was a little embarrassing. I also felt for him when jones jnr was taking the **** out of him quite bad in their fight. Makes it easier watching jones jnr getting ko'd regular when u see over the years how he mocked out classed opponents

    Lacy's management were awful... The US thought Calzaghe was just hiding and not up to much and then he beat Lacy every minute every round barely took a punch and landed clusters of spiteful shots all nights....it was the sweet science in all its glory

    but then after being hammered by a south paw they then put in him with another akward leftie who he had already struggled with. It was bizzare then he does his shoulder and that was that. If ever a man just needed a journyman latvian to go in wit Lacy was it
