Prime Reid V Prime Lacy

Lacy on points

 

Lacy by decision.

 

Probably Reid.

I see it going down similiar to the Sheika fight, very close. Probably Lacy's power shots and aggression versus Robin's counters and outside work. I think to a degree Sheika showed that you could box Jeff from the outside & counter him quite easy if you were willing to take some heat to land your shots. I think Primes Reid's beard is better than Sheika's and he would have the skills to go through with a gameplan like that.

He had a great chin and knew to back himself with it. In the Lacy fight you could tell from the start he didnt really want to be in there, hell even at times in the Magee fight he looked very discouraged. His confidence was a key difference in those fights, prime Reid would have that self belief that was missing in his late career.

 

lacy on points for me too

 

Depends which version of Reid shows up. I see them as similar athletes and similar fighters, but I give Reid the edge.

 

reid on points

 

Reid wide ud.

 

Lacy. Reid is too flat-footed to dis-locate Lacy, which you'd need to.

 

The only decent win of Reid's career was Wharton. But Henry was never the same after the Eubank beating, and weight-drained against Robin with a broken nose after four rounds.

 

Prime Reid is a very rare thing and would be unlikely to turn up. If he did, he'll outclass Lacy.

 

what decent win does Lacy hold*? Ill wait...

Reid UD 8-4

 

Tough call. i would probably go with Lacy, Reid's movement isn't great and as someone previously said he is flat footed. The way to beat Lacy is with movement. Lacy by points.

 

Spot on. Remember Reid against Malinga - terrible showing.

 

Lacy KO.
